(Noel S. Williams) The Doomsday Clock is so broken that it is not even right twice a day. It currently sits at one hundred seconds before midnight, having not ticked since 2020. That’s right, despite a sociopath in the Kremlin and an imbecile in the W.H., the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists occupies land that Doomsday time forgot.

More on How Electric Vehicle Mandates Threaten the U.S. Grid, Will Increase the Need for Fossil Fuels
(B.N. Frank) Earlier this month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced it started investigating safety defects in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. That seems appropriate since there have been numerous EV recalls, many of which have been due to battery fires (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Despite this, and other significant EV issues (including environmental ones), the U.S. government continues to promote EVs as “green” and fund the deployment of charging stations. States continue to pass EV mandates as well. These proponents and others also continue to ignore increasing warnings that already at-risk American electric grids (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) aren’t ready for countless more EVs.

That’s why they’ve gotten creative in recent decades, finding their magic beans, so to speak, by suggesting that “people of color” tend to be financially less well-off than white people, thereby establishing racial inequity as a substitute for class struggle.

Fusion Centers Facilitate Spying on Everybody
