Diesel Generators Needed to Power Stalls
The Biden administration is mandating new dates when electric vehicles will be all but mandatory, predicts Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness.
To draw attention to the billions of dollars the White House is pouring into green energy and clean cars and to prove the viability of EVs, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm last summer led a performance of an EV caravan on a four-day road trip (Charlotte, NC to Memphis, TN). Madam Secretary ran into a snag, however, when she found insufficient charging stations to continue her media stunt.
Realizing there were insufficient charging stations to continue her media stunt, Granholm sent a gas-powered auto ahead of her caravan to block charging stations, denying them to other EVs in line ahead of Ms. Granholm and her entourage, including Secret Service in their conventional black Suburban’s and Tahoe’s.
As Victor Davis Hanson reports, only by blocking charging stations could Granholm ensure that her arriving energy-starved motorcade might find rare empty charger stalls.
In some California charging stations, diesel generators are needed to produce enough “clean” electricity to power the stalls.
