Summary
In response to increasing pressure being put upon Americans due to skyrocketing energy prices, President Joe Biden tweeted that loosening environmental regulations won't lower prices, but transforming our economy to run on electrical vehicles powered by clean energy will mean that no one will have to worry about gas prices and it means that tyrants like tyrants such as Justin Trudeau won't be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon.

got me worked up and triggered today there's always something right now we've got leaders
00:00:04.720
telling people to drive electric vehicles in response to high gas prices it's the modern
00:00:09.840
day version of saying let them eat cake it really is in response to increasing pressure being put
00:00:14.240
upon americans due to skyrocketing gas prices president joe biden or at least one of his aides
00:00:19.680
tweeted loosening environmental regulations won't lower prices but transforming our economy to run
00:00:25.360
on electrical vehicles powered by clean energy will mean that no one will have to worry about gas
00:00:30.320
prices and it means that tyrants like putin won't be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon
00:00:35.200
okay the first sentence of biden's tweets either an indication of total economic illiteracy or it's
00:00:41.200
an outright lie perhaps it's both i mean of course lessening environmental regulations with lower
00:00:47.120
prices throughout north america energy projects have been delayed and hindered for years due to
00:00:51.920
onerous environmental regulations pipelines and other energy projects take years to start due to
00:00:58.080
a huge burden of consultation permits studies and mitigation requirements thousands of permits are
00:01:04.160
sought and they're often rejected companies have spent billions cumulatively in the last decade just in
00:01:10.160
the application process for new energy projects many of these projects never even got off the ground
00:01:14.880
because the costs of application simply got too high and the likelihood of approval became too low
00:01:19.360
a grade six student having been just taught what the word economics is could look at that scenario
00:01:24.000
and understand that reducing those regulations would increase supply while reducing costs it's
00:01:30.000
just math guys but biden along with other environmental ideologues such as trudeau and his
00:01:35.680
eco extremist henchman gilbo apparently can't figure this out but you got to remember trust fund babies
00:01:41.840
like justin trudeau and career politicians like uh biden who's been a senator for what 40 years before
00:01:47.280
becoming president or something they have no clue what it really actually is like for working people
00:01:52.160
on the ground they've never had to skimp and save in order to buy a used vehicle that was only somewhat
00:01:57.440
reliable and uh but was still essential in order to get to work they've never had to try and pack a
00:02:02.480
number of children into a car in order to get them to gate get them to daycare and then go to work
00:02:07.280
and then juggle the same kids at the end of the day at the grocery store before heading home to feed
00:02:10.640
them all i guess those people could just ride a bike or take the bus or spend eighty thousand dollars
00:02:15.600
and buy an electric car right i mean biden and trudeau had nannies chefs and chauffeurs to take
00:02:20.080
care of all those things for him so i guess it could be understood why they don't understand how this
00:02:23.520
is a problem for the majority of people i don't think those fools intended to insult the vast majority
00:02:29.200
of working north americans when they dismissed the impacts of spiking energy prices these privileged
00:02:34.240
clowns really actually just don't have a clue who needs a car to go on vacation where you could just
00:02:38.640
fly to the bahamas instead right maybe hit a private island with buddies like trudeau does
00:02:43.520
electric cars are an expensive luxury and they're only good for virtue signaling at this point i mean
00:02:48.800
we've had well over a decade of pressure and massive subsidies towards electric vehicles and still in
00:02:53.760
the world they only make up one in 250 vehicles on the road in north america that goes up to two percent
00:03:00.480
that two percent are typically high-income urban living people who just want to have a virtue signaling
00:03:05.680
second cars so they can show their neighbors how green they are i mean electric vehicles are getting
00:03:10.560
better all the time but they're still worlds away from the reach of common folks they're much more
00:03:15.840
expensive than conventional vehicles they have a terrible resale value due to battery degradation
00:03:20.480
which costs a fortune to replace them and they perform terribly in cold weather and have a limited
00:03:24.880
range that might change but it's not there yet if indeed the world did truly start to shift
00:03:30.160
on mass towards electric vehicles the price of them would rise even further because of course we
00:03:34.880
would see a run on the required precious metals such as lithium and cobalt the next disconnect with
00:03:40.800
supply and demand from those pushing for electrical vehicles comes with the powering of them these and
00:03:45.680
we heard all free charging stations they abound right now but they're anything but free in reality and
00:03:50.560
they won't stay that way for long somebody pays the bill for those charging stations one way or another
00:03:55.120
and it's usually the taxpayer now think about what would happen to the electricity prices in north
00:04:00.320
america if 100 million electric vehicles suddenly entered the mix our generation capacity is nowhere
00:04:06.560
nearly strong enough to keep up with that by the way carbon-based based fuels and nuclear forms of
00:04:11.040
generation are apparently evil but they're the best we have we'd need millions of windmills and
00:04:15.840
countless square miles of solar panels just to meet this new demand and that would take more precious
00:04:20.240
metals by the way so i guess we'll have more slave labor in third world countries in order to mine that
00:04:24.960
the cost of electricity would skyrocket not only would it cost a fortune to charge an electric car
00:04:29.920
but anybody with electricity feeding their home is going to feel the pinch every business that
00:04:33.600
requires electricity which is all of them will have to raise prices and then inflation will rise even
00:04:38.240
further the costs for the increased transmission capability will be huge not to mention millions of
00:04:44.480
homeowners suddenly having to spend thousands to put charging ports in their houses charging a car
00:04:49.440
isn't like charging an iphone though prime minister trudeau probably can't tell the difference
00:04:53.520
it takes a lot of power and most homes aren't equipped to handle that again for people like
00:04:58.240
trudeau and biden this isn't a big deal i doubt they've ever even opened their own mail before
00:05:03.200
and directly paid a utility bill they've got people for that but we have to look at those
00:05:07.680
and pay those bills and experience the sticker shock north america has some of the most abundant
00:05:12.480
energy resources on earth yet we're in the midst of an energy crisis because our leaders are
00:05:17.040
ideologically driven imbeciles the world's in a crisis and energy is a huge component of it people are
00:05:22.640
suffering and we might actually be moving into another recession we have the means right in
00:05:26.880
front of us to address the problem but we need to get our green obsessed governments to get out
00:05:31.120
of the damn way and let energy companies get to work in bringing more power to market the just
00:05:36.800
transition is a myth and it's absurd to expect people to somehow simply jump over and get into an
00:05:42.000
electric vehicle let them drive electric indeed yes the modern version of let them eat cake
00:05:48.800
it's unreasonable and it's insulting and that's what's coming from our federal political leadership
00:05:53.280
right now and that's what's got me triggered today
