** 10,000 miles. After that you'll need to avoid charging your car too much, too quickly, too often, or in the cold. Great fit for a family on the move...

MSNBC ([link removed]) (10/9/23) reports: "Electric cars have surged in popularity due to high gas prices and the emergence of new all-electric vehicles across all major vehicle types. Because electric cars are a relatively new technology, prospective buyers may be curious about how long they can expect these cars to last. From battery life to expected length of ownership for popular electric cars, we answer the question of how long you can expect EVs to remain on the road. Because replacing a car’s battery pack can cost upwards of $20,000, it’s likely the end of a car’s battery life is when drivers will choose to replace their vehicle. When it comes to the lifespan of an EV battery, many factors should be taken into account. While electric car battery life can vary, EV manufacturers are required to provide a warranty on their batteries for at least 8 years or 10,000 miles. Just like traditional gasoline vehicles, some manufacturers offer
longer warranties...Although modern EV batteries are built to stand the test of time, that only remains true if they are properly maintained. Electric car battery life is also affected by the number of times the battery pack is charged and depleted. The more charging cycles, the faster the battery will degrade."

** "By almost any measure, America’s air quality is clean and getting cleaner. Thus, to argue that [Biden's proposed gas-furnace ban] alleged air quality benefits outweigh the substantial costs to American consumers is weak."

============================================================

Democrat lawmakers reveal they have little-to-no understanding of the science used to justify their dystopian agenda.

Corporate press: REPUBLICANS POUNCE!

(10/11/23) reports: "A new strategy is emerging among Republicans to sow doubt about climate change science: trying to stump the experts on a number. Some House Republicans in recent months have used hearings to confront witnesses — often Biden administration officials — by asking what percentage of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, the most prominent greenhouse gas causing global warming. The witnesses usually struggle, sometimes making embarrassing guesses that are orders of magnitude higher than the true answer: 412 parts per million, or 0.04 percent, on a global average scale last year. They’re corrected and perhaps asked how they could regulate carbon dioxide without knowing such a basic fact...Democrats who have witnessed the exchanges have been aghast. In an interview, Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.), a climate hawk, called the line of questioning 'fucking idiocy.' During an April hearing of the Natural Resources Committee, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland admitted to LaMalfa that she was
stumped but offered to have her staff get back to him...In an interview, LaMalfa said his main goal when he brings up the issue is to show how little regulators know about the science of what they’re dealing with. 'It’s amazing how many people that are in key, high-ranking, decisionmaking positions have no idea what it is they’re regulating. They don’t know how small the number is,' he said. 'The bureaucrats that are in charge … are hellbent on regulating this, and they can’t even espouse themselves what the number is they’re regulating.'"

The "Big Guy" can't make it through sixty seconds of prepared remarks despite decades of training. Obviously it’s because of climate change.

I don’t care about a “carbon neutral*”watch, but I’d happily pay for a “slave worker” free watch.

*Note: It’s not really carbon neutral, but we paid some shady outfit to plant some trees in Brazil so you’ll feel better about your purchase.

(10/6/23) reports: "In September, Apple announced its next-generation smartwatch models would all have a 'carbon neutral' option, at the same price as the non-carbon neutral options, starting at $249. For Apple, making a product 'carbon neutral' means that it changed its operations — including manufacturing, packaging and shipping — to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with making and selling its watches. It was able to drive emissions associated with a single watch down from 36.7 kg to 8.1 kg with these actions. In order to call its watches “carbon neutral” without being able to eliminate all of the emissions associated with making the watches, Apple bought carbon credits to compensate for the remaining 8.1 kg of emissions, or about 22% of the total footprint of making a watch. Apple is transparent about all of this carbon accounting in its environmental report for the watch. Carbon credits are certificates that individuals, businesses and corporations can purchase that
represent a certain amount of greenhouse gases reduced, avoided, or removed from the atmosphere. They are a way for consumers to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions while also providing a financing mechanism to support sustainable development projects, according to a description from the United Nations."
