STUPID: In order to meet demand for “clean” electric vehicles, China will be forced to burn more COAL

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-05-03-clean-electric-vehicles-china-burn-more-coal.html

May 03, 2023 -

Just as we have been warning would be the case, the transition from gas-powered cars to EVs will only place increasingly more strain on the electricity grid, which is still primarily fed using coal, gas, and oil.

In order to power all these new "clean" EVs roaming the streets, more earth-based fuels must be burned at power plants, which means there is absolutely nothing "green" about any of this.

"Power shortages are likely to reemerge as the acceleration in the energy ...

New $4B Panasonic electric vehicle (EV) battery factory in Kansas requires so much power that the facility will need its own COAL plant to run

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-09-26-panasonic-ev-factory-kansas-power-coal-plant.html

September 26, 2023 -

In accordance with the Biden regime's ongoing efforts to force all Americans into an EV, Panasonic has built a $4 billion EV battery factory in the small Kansas City exurb of De Soto.

Local media reports state that the factory will require anywhere from 200 to 250 megawatts of electricity to function. This is roughly the amount of power needed to keep the lights on in a small city.

On track to receive a whopping $6.8 billion from fake president Joe Biden's Inflation ...

(Article republished from RT.com)

The EU’s industrial sector is suffering from the consequences of last year’s ban on Russian coal, Russian Deputy Energy Minister Sergey Mochalnikov told RT on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) on Monday.

According to the official, Russia’s coal producers have successfully fended off the challenges posed by the embargo, redirecting most of the supplies to the Global South and Asia-Pacific. However, the bloc has ...

The electric everything push will collapse the grid by 2030, research suggests

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-04-19-electric-everything-push-collapse-grid-2030-research.html

April 19, 2023 -

Not only is electricity no cleaner than earth-based fuels like coal and oil, seeing as how most electricity still comes from coal and oil, but there is not enough electricity to go around – especially since grid capacity is currently on the decline.

PJM Interconnection, one of seven regional electricity transmission groups in the United States that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity across 13 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.), published a report ...

After shutting down its last three nuclear power plants, Germany now has to buy nuclear-generated electricity from France

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-05-04-germany-shut-down-nuclear-now-buying-from-france.html

May 04, 2023 -

In a politically correct "green" move that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, Germany essentially abolished its own much-needed nuclear power infrastructure, only to replace it with nuclear power from another country that likely costs a lot more and is far less available than the domestic stuff.

As with most of Europe ever since Russia invaded Ukraine and the West responded with energy sanctions, Germany, France, and other countries are struggling to produce enough energy ...

Biden to drive final nail in U.S. electricity grid, orders power plants to cut carbon emissions by 90% or get shut down

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-05-17-biden-orders-power-plants-shut-down-pollution.html

May 17, 2023 -

The goal is to slash 90 percent of all power plants that produce energy from earth-based fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, and replace them with ... something that the regime will apparently figure out at a later date since there is nothing in the category of "green" that can effectively replace the nation's existing energy infrastructure.

Biden's number-one focus right now, besides sending America's wealth into the money pit known as Ukraine, is to destroy the electric ...

Companies are reviving abandoned oil wells in Arkansas to mine lithium

July 24, 2023 -

Just recently, Magnolia Mayor Parnell Vann inspected three of these wells. He noted the squat blue spire of valves, bolts and pressure gauges attached to one of the wells – a telltale sign that someone is trying to revive it.

But companies in the area are no longer looking for oil. They are instead searching for lithium, a metal that is increasingly prized around the world as an essential ingredient in batteries of electric vehicles (EVs).

Rise of EVs is driving more demand for electricity as grid power generation declines

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-04-19-rise-evs-electricity-grid-power-generation-declines.html

April 19, 2023 -

Despite what the "greenies" claim, electricity is not clean. Most of it still comes from the very same earth-based fuels (i.e., oil, gas, and nuclear) that they are wanting to phase out in exchange for "clean" energy from windmills and solar panels.

Just because you cannot see actual gas or coal being pumped into your electric vehicle (EV) does not mean that the process is any better for the environment than a combustion engine – but this does not matter to the climate ...

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-05-09-energy-commissioner-warns-power-grid-reliability-crisis.html

May 09, 2023 -

There are said to be upwards of 10,000 energy projects currently in the pipeline that stand to generate more than 2,000 gigawatts (GW) of collective power. The only thing standing in the way legally speaking are the federal and state permits needed to connect these projects to the various electrical grids across the nation.

As it currently stands, the nation's total electricity output capacity is 1,250 GW, meaning the projects awaiting permitting approval stand to produce ...

April 26, 2023 -

Even amid the ongoing energy crisis and the push to convert everything to electric, the federal government wants to further limit the amount of energy accessible to the public by capping emissions at power stations.

Ignoring last June's Supreme Court decision in West Virginia v. EPA, the Biden regime's EPA is planning yet another assault on the United States electric grid. In essence, all power plants would be required to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) in order ...

(Article by Kevin Stocklin republished from TheEpochTimes.com)

The United States has become so utterly dependent upon an uninterrupted supply of affordable electricity that, as our grid becomes ever more fragile, American society has become fragile along with it.

Former CIA director James Woolsey testified before the U.S. Senate in 2015 that, if America’s electric grid were to go down for an extended period, such as one year, “there are essentially two estimates on ...
