(Liberty Bell) – Anyone with a brain knows the whole “green” agenda is nothing more than an effort to destroy the middle class, empower the wealthy ruling class and bring about the New World Order’s one world government.
Forcing the world to abandon fossil fuels to go electric, specifically electric vehicles, is not actually a very “green” approach to protecting the environment. As a matter of fact, electric vehicles are a lot dirtier than traditional gas-powered vehicles.
The only thing abandoning fossil fuels is sure to accomplish is the impoverishment of America.
Don’t expect Joe Biden to care. On Monday, he took to Twitter to promote his regime’s new electric vehicle tax credits. The promotion was accompanied by a photo of Biden posing in a vehicle that produces far more greenhouse gas emissions on average than smaller gas-powered cars.
Where does the electricity come from that power electricity vehicles? Well, the batteries come from China but the batteries have to be charged in order to work. That means electric cars are being plugged into generators that use fossil fuels as a power source.
On my watch, the great American road trip is going to be fully electrified.
And now, through a tax credit, you can get up to $7,500 on a new electric vehicle. pic.twitter.com/n3iZ9etL4A

The electric Hummer EV Pickup, the vehicle Biden was pictured in, is the worst vehicle on the market. It uses far more carbon emissions to operate than any other vehicle, gas or electric.
Quartz explains, “Nearly every EV on the market will produce fewer carbon emissions than a gas-powered car, no matter where you charge it—except for the electric Hummer. If charged on the global average power grid, the 4.5-ton Hummer EV is worse for the climate than many smaller, more efficient cars that burn gas.”
The Daily Caller summarizes:
“Roughly 60% of power generated in the U.S. is generated by burning fossil fuels, the Hummer EV Pickup that Biden was photographed in is responsible for, on average, 341 grams of carbon dioxide per mile, according to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE). However, the Hummer EV Pickup is responsible for roughly 50 more grams per mile of carbon dioxide emissions than the Toyota RAV4 SUV and BMW 3 sedan, and roughly 70 grams more than the Toyota Corolla, according to Quartz.
The Hummer EV Pickup costs roughly $110,000, well in excess of the $80,000 limit for pickups, SUVs and vans to qualify for the $7,500 tax credit for purchasing an electric vehicle provided by the Inflation Reduction Act, according to the IRS.”
It’s not even remotely environmentally friendly and no one except for those in the upper echelons of society can afford one. Ironic for a regime that claims to be making EVs more “affordable.”
When a White House spokesperson was asked why Biden was pictured in an EV that does not qualify for the tax credits, they responded, “President Biden is committed to lowering the cost of electric vehicles for all Americans and bringing more affordable electric vehicles onto the market,” and added, “The President’s Inflation Reduction Act lowers costs for Americans, including for electric vehicles and energy at home.”
So, they gave the standard non-answer the regime has become known for.
Adding to the absurdity of the Hummer EV Pickup is the size of its battery. The Verge highlights the fact that it weighs a reported 2,923 lbs which is more than an entire Honda Civic weighs. EV batteries are not typically reused, as per the American Automobile Association (AAA) which points out that recycling them costs additional time and money. The cobalt, lithium and other toxic chemicals used in their construction often end up in landfills. That doesn’t sound very “green.”
On top of the emissions the Hummer EV Pickup generates from charging, the battery requires mining and processing cobalt which releases emissions, and more so the larger the car is. This is true for all EVs but especially true for a massive vehicle like the Hummer.
Additionally, cobalt mines — located primarily in the Democratic Republic of the Congo — often also contain sulfur, which can toxify the surrounding environment for hundreds of years when exposed to air or water, the AAA noted.
It just keeps going from bad to worse.
Another ? for @potus @usdot & @SecretaryPete:
Your goal is 1/2 of new US cars be EV by 2030. But we face a shortage of battery minerals like lithium.
How does your promotion of the Hummer EV (w/a battery as heavy as a Honda Civic) affect that shortage?https://t.co/BBQWjTTOPx

Only an elitist, out-of-touch, authoritarian regime would use this vehicle to promote a tax credit for the peons. It’s misleading and deceptive, just like their green agenda.
