Democrats and their fellow ruling class elites around the globe are vigorously pushing environmental extremism.
But things aren’t exactly going as well as they promised.
And this bombshell report about electric vehicles has environmental extremist Democrats blowing a gasket.
Democrats want as many electric vehicles on the road as possible.
However, Bidenmobiles present serious problems for environmental extremists.
Damaging new study
Not only is the market for Bidenmobiles soft, but the cars themselves are not as environmentally friendly as environmental extremist Democrats continue to claim.
A study from Emission Analytics reported that “comparing real-world tailpipe particulate mass emissions to tire wear emissions, both in ‘normal’ driving, the latter is actually around 1,850 times greater than the former.”
That means that the wear and tear of rubber tires is far worse for the environment than the carbon emissions generated by gas-powered vehicles’ exhaust.
That is significant to the Bidenmobile discussion because Bidenmobiles are heavier than gas-powered vehicles.
So when both cars brake, Bidenmobiles are emitting more tire particulates.
Exhaust emissions are improving as filters get better, but the weight of the cars poses a different problem.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Bidenmobiles “are 15% to 30% heavier because batteries store far less energy per pound than liquid fuels. While weight differences between electric and gasoline cars have remained roughly constant over the past decade, the only reasonable prediction of trends is for electric cars to get heavier as manufacturers increase battery size to boost range.”
So, the tires on Bidenmobiles wear down faster because of the added weight.
Plus, the tires are made from petroleum, so the Bidenmobiles zealots are trading one emissions issue for another.
What environmental extremist Democrats ignore
On top of that, Bidenmobile manufacturing produces a larger carbon footprint than the manufacturing of gas-powered vehicles due to the fact that crucial components for the production of Bidenmobiles batteries and other parts, like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, are almost exclusively being mined in third world nations, and others like China, where there is no regard for the impact they’re making.
The batteries themselves are also bad for the environment when they break down because they release toxic gases.
Used cars have a much smaller carbon footprint than new Bidenmobiles but the secondary market for Bidenmobiles is virtually nonexistent.
And environmental extremists are, of course, looking to force working-class Americans to buy new Bidenmobiles, not used, gas-powered cars.
Much of the “green” economy has proven to be a farce.
The market is not materializing the way Democrats promised it would, and the environmental benefits do not even seem to be true.
