Action4Canada - Fossil Fuel Cars Are Not the Cause of Climate Change

00:00:00.000 can you help me to figure out then with all of the um hysteria as well regarding vehicles that

00:00:10.660 are fueled by diesel or gas what do you have to say about that is that a better fuel system than

00:00:18.060 the electric vehicles considering all of the harm that lithium batteries etc you know pose to the

00:00:24.720 environment yes in fact the whole ev thing is driven by the climate scare the idea that somehow

00:00:30.260 using electric vehicles is going to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions but that's not true

00:00:35.160 actually uh engineer ron stein out of california he's energy advanced he's a very advanced energy

00:00:41.680 engineer and he looks at these things a complete life cycle analysis when you count making the

00:00:47.020 battery making the ev making the vehicle itself he shows believe it or not that in the life of an

00:00:53.560 electric vehicle it produces more greenhouse gases than in the life of a typical gas powered car so

00:01:00.540 even the rationale even if you believe that we do have to reduce co2 there's no point in going to

00:01:06.100 electric vehicles i mean electric vehicles are also terrible for canada i mean we're talking about moving

00:01:11.560 all of our buses for example in ottawa to electric vehicles and the auditor general of ottawa she was

00:01:17.640 very critical of the city she said you've done your trials in the spring summer and fall you've never

00:01:23.440 done it in the winter so i was exactly hundreds of millions of dollars buying electric buses when

00:01:29.260 they haven't tested them in the winter in berlin germany they moved over to electric buses and

00:01:35.740 many of them broke down halfway around their roots and that people had to be rescued by internal combustion

00:01:41.560 engine buses and you know germany is doesn't get anywhere near as cold as ottawa so evs are a huge mistake

00:01:48.100 and of course the question then becomes how do you get the electricity to run the evs oh we're going

00:01:53.320 to have wind and solar power oh yeah sure and you're going to have to have natural gas stations

00:01:57.880 everywhere the other point i'll just say one quick point because this is below your mind

00:02:01.780 it takes about 30 minutes at least to charge an ev from from flat to full and sometimes a lot more

00:02:09.180 depends on how you're charging it it takes five minutes to fill up a gas powered car

00:02:13.840 so that's at least six times more so what that means is you'll need six times as many ev stations

00:02:20.560 because people are sitting there for half an hour instead of sitting there for five minutes and then

00:02:24.600 zoom they're off they're sitting there for at least a half an hour so a city like ottawa that perhaps

00:02:29.940 has 300 gas stations would have to have six times as many stations okay yeah where are you going to

00:02:36.080 find the space for all these you know so i mean the whole ev push is completely insane from a safety

00:02:42.480 point of view in the winter from a pollution point of view from the land point of view where do you get

00:02:47.840 your power you know one of the jokes is that wind power when you get it from china when you're building

00:02:54.080 you know you're buying components from china how do you think they generate the power to make the wind

00:02:59.760 turbines they use coal they use coal so you're not getting away from fossil fuels anyways all you're

00:03:06.240 doing is crippling the west by forcing us to use these inefficient energy sources and enriching the

00:03:12.640 chinese you know because they don't care about the environment they'll make all the wind turbines we 1.00

00:03:17.040 want yeah they're not doing anything to to help us out they're not uh shutting down all their coal

00:03:22.720 mines and you know all of this uh you know getting the electric vehicles the buses it's all part of the

00:03:28.640 un's 2030 agenda the world economic forum the smart cities right how smart is that where they can't keep

00:03:36.080 the buses going in the middle of the the cold winter and so are you saying and i'm blown away too because i

00:03:42.160 have a volkswagen turig i drive and it's a diesel and i'm going to the pumps and and it's less expensive to

00:03:50.080 produce diesel and yet you know you're paying 30 cents more uh per liter to get diesel right now which i

00:03:57.600 believe is part of interrupting the food supply it's sticking it to the truckers it's causing you

00:04:04.480 know the inflation of food prices to rise so can you explain to me just one more time touching on

00:04:11.360 gas engines and diesel i i'm taking it that by all of this that even gas engines are not harming the

00:04:20.080 environment it's not a pollution it's a carbon dioxide and it's not the the frightful

00:04:27.600 uh use of fuel that the government is trying to convince us of yeah that's exactly right there's

00:04:34.000 a couple of points there i'll bring up quickly first of all the pollution from a car today a

00:04:38.560 typical car because of catalytic converters is 1 20th of what it was say in the 1950s so a typical car

00:04:45.360 today puts out very very low real pollution carbon dioxide is another question i mean it puts out just

00:04:51.280 as much co2 whenever you're burning anything it puts out co2 so if you don't care about co2 the

00:04:56.320 actual pollution produced from modern cars is very very low and in fact it's interesting if you look

00:05:02.400 at the pollution levels in cities across canada with the exception of ozone that's gone up very

00:05:07.120 slightly our pollution levels have gone down now for decades i was at a presentation a little while

00:05:13.200 ago and i got up to the mic and i told the people this and the green party were there and they were

00:05:17.920 quite upset but to their credit they came up to me afterwards and they said what are you talking

00:05:22.800 about pollution's rising i said well no it isn't and i laid out the graphs all over the table and

00:05:28.240 they looked at it and said oh can we take these with us oh wow good for you that's a win you know

00:05:35.840 my dad my dad used to say if they spent more time in the library or actually doing some research they

00:05:41.360 might not be on the protest line so yeah today's modern car is very very clean there's no reason to

00:05:46.960 get away from gasoline at all
