A CNN Politics article Aug. 30 confirmed the fear of Prince Charles’ green helpers that China will block them from the Malthusian “final solution” of eliminating both fossil fuels and nuclear power from mankind’s “fire.” The Biden Administration’s Climate Envoy John Kerry heads for China this week to try again, but faces failure again.
“China poses one of Kerry’s biggest challenges heading into Glasgow,” states this account. “The world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China has committed to transitioning to net-zero emissions by 2060, though it does not plan to reach peak emissions before 2030. China’s 2060 decarbonization target is a decade behind those of the U.S. and European Union. ‘None of this works without China really cranking up, and China is not cranking up right now, and that’s a big problem,’” CNN quotes former U.S. Climate Envoy Todd Stern, who had Kerry’s current job in the Obama Administration. “‘They have said they will hit their peak before 2030. That’s kind of small beer, compared to what’s needed.’”
This wrong-headed frustration became an absurdity when CNN added: “President Joe Biden has also been vocal in his desire to outcompete China when it comes to clean energy and electric vehicles.” Just look at the happy highlights of auto giant GM’s attempt at EVs.
General Motors has recalled all 420,000 all-electric Chevy Bolts it has built and sold over the past five years and stopped production of new Bolts. Here’s the encouraging news from GM for Chevy Bolt owners:
• Although your vehicle is recalled due to fire danger, GM and its battery maker LG Energy Solution don’t have a solution, a “fix” as the industry calls it. So the recall is effectively an indefinite warning that your EV is dangerous, but you’ll have to keep driving it.
• GM recommends you don’t charge your car “fully"—a nice judgment call for you.
• GM recommends not charging the car in your garage – even if you’ve installed the charging station on your house current, in or at the garage.
• “Hundreds of employees” of GM and LG are working to solve the problem.
