Just Imagine...

Just imagine you lived in a state with an aging electricity generation and delivery archtechture, one built in the '50's, yet was mandating its citizens buy and use electric cars.  So that it could "save the planet."  Not knowing, apparently, that our atmosphere rotates counter-clockwise to the Earth, so that "cleaning up" our climate works to "clean up" Shanhai's climate next week.  While they're building two new coal-fired, electricity-generating plants every month.

Ya' with me so far?

And just imagine that this state, Taxifornia in my case, which has proven itself unable to manage electricity needs at least twice during both recent hot and cold days, figured out that it could easily reduce the overall demand by limiting your electric car charging.  As in, by refusing to let you charge up your overpriced, growed-up golf cart when demand on its supply generation was at its peak.  

Think about it.  Would your Boy Guv rather piss off those "saving the planet" electric car owners, or the millions of others who would like to cool down their houses?  Ummm?  He's screwed up nearly everything else, I doubt he'd screw up this one!

In other words, if you can't charge, you don't go.  Learn to walk, Pilgrim!

We, The People, who own and drive ICE (internal combustion engine) cars, worry only about the location of the nearest gas station.  Where it takes 5 minutes to gas up and we don't worry about mileage.  In fact, we like to do donuts in the parking lot.  

Which puts all those "Progressives'" panties in a bunch. 

The Leftoids are not comfortable with us being able to just up and go anywhere we want, anytime we want.  They want to be asked for permission!  They want to control our every movement.  Like in North Korea.  And with PIE (Plug-in Electric) cars, they can dictate when you can drive.  And perhaps later the kill switches they've installed might actually be used (for real!).  Which puts you under their gargantuan thumb!

Dayyummm, my aging but still sweet gas-powered ride is lookin' good!  Yours?
