"Planes don’t fly on diversity, equity and inclusion or on green dreams. Modern equipment requires modern backup systems, and that requires investment in technology."
In Biden's EV future, if you're not left stranded in your own car you can count on being stranded in electric public transit.
Errors of Enchantment (1/19/23) article: "Albuquerque residents who have been around more than a year or two probably remember the disastrous rollout of electric ART buses up and down Central Ave. As noted in numerous media reports: 'The vehicles didn’t meet their promised battery charge, which meant they couldn’t manage a full day’s service. There were numerous durability and safety issues, including doors opening unexpectedly, malfunctioning brakes, faulty electric wiring, exposed wires, and overheating batteries. On top of everything else, the charging system for the batteries was defective, and some buses simply could not be charged. Officials canceled the project within months, and the city ended up suing BYD.' Guess what? It’s happened again. This time, thankfully, we’re not talking about huge, expensive buses that are supposed to take people all over town. Instead, this electric vehicle fail involves the new 'train' connecting the Zoo and Botanical Garden. Here’s the full story from KRQE Channel 13. According to the story, 'When they launched the shuttle during the River of Lights, it was hampered by electrical issues and needed a new charger.' Meanwhile Sen. Bill Soules (D-Las Cruces) wants to mandate that 75 percent of state vehicles be EV’s and US Senator Martin Heinrich successfully pushed for massive expansion of the Post Office fleet of electric vehicles."
American farmers don't like Biden telling them how to farm.
Proponents claim ESG was supposed to mitigate systemic risk; in fact, ESG is creating it.
National Review (1/1/23) column: "Until June 2022, Terrence Keeley worked for BlackRock as managing director, global head, and senior adviser of the Official Institutions Group (OIG). There he oversaw BlackRock’s relationships with 'central banks, sovereign wealth funds, finance ministries, and supra-nationals around the world.' In addition, he led the firm’s 'education.' There may not be a single person on earth better qualified to assess the results of the experiment of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment. In his book, Sustainable, Keeley does just that. ESG began in 2004 as an attempt to globally coordinate capital regulation and allocation and direct them towards particular environmental and social goals. As of late last year, the total amount of funds managed by firms using 'ESG-integrated strategies” exceeded $120 trillion. ESG integration means that “funds seek to enhance their financial performance by analyzing material ESG considerations,' according to Keeley. For years, $8 billion per day had been moved into explicitly ESG-labeled funds. It’s perplexing, therefore, when just a few pages later Keeley refers to the remaining advocates of shareholder primacy as 'defenders of the status quo.' Surely, the true defenders of the status quo are the ones integrating ESG into $120 trillion in assets under management, not the remaining implacable adherents to the Friedman doctrine, armed with blogs, Wall Street Journal op-eds, and perhaps red-state legislation. This is the central problem for ESG and stakeholder-capitalism advocates. They’ve caught the ball and wonder why everyone’s trying to tackle them."
