Democrats Plan On Nation's School Buses Wasteful!

[NightFox]

and the average school bus logs 12,000 miles a year in 9 months

That is 60 miles a day

You're assuming there's no need to take school teams, cheer squads and bands to away games. Here in TX that could be 100 miles, each way. Out in West TX even further.

Like Texas would ever buy Electric School Buses

Drill Baby, Drill

Yeah, we're so backward we produce almost 30% of the wind energy produced in the whole US. How much does your backwater shithole State produce?

.

We have seen how dependable the Texas power grid is

Best you stay away from electric vehicles.....unless you charge them in Cancun

Poor little commie, you deflect instead of answering a simple question. What time of day do you download your commie talking points?

.

It’s fantastic that Texas produces so much wind power. What’s not fantastic is their power grid infrastructure that was not conditioned against severe weather events...to save money. Money over lives is a bad choice.

Yeah, those once in 500 year events can be a bitch. Funny I didn't see you commies condemning NY and NY for not being prepared during Super Storm Sandy. Run along you hypocritical commie bitch.

.

Unfortunately, Texas had that "once in a 500 year event" twice in 10 years but like they say, third time is the charm.

You're a liar, I've lived here for 30 years and have never seen the kind of temps for an extended period like we did in Feb.

Sorry but you must have missed what happened in 2011 (and before that in 1989) when Texans were advised to weatherize their power generation facilities, you might want to do a little research before you start calling people liars.

"Texas has received warnings about its preparedness going back at least three decades.

In 1989 and 2011, Texas experienced significant power disruptions as a result of severe winter storms. Following both events, government regulators recommended power plants in the state prepare their facilities for the extreme cold."

After extreme cold events in 1989 and 2011, Texas was warned to winterize power plants — but many still froze in the latest storms

A report found that after recommendations to winterize plants went unheeded after 1989, some of the same plants were again shut down by cold in 2011.

They generalize in the article, the fact is there have been no State wide events similar to the one in Feb 2020, But hey keep on lying, you're getting good at it, typical commie. LMAO

*SIGH* yet another childish poster that cannot admit when he/she is wrong even when credible evidence to the contrary is presented.

Apparently, It hasn't dawned on you that you're not the only person that's lived in Texas for a while and that Texas is a very large State.

Keep clinging to your fantasies and I hope they'll keep you warm when the next "once in 500 years" event hits.

You stupid commie fuck, I live where hurricanes, tornados and thunderstorms take out the power all the time. I have my own generation equipment when the power fails. It's called being prepared. Unlike you commies I don't rely on government to meet my every need.

The USPS is also going all green

You do realize there are thousands of old battery run cars in the UK sitting in a field because the replacement batteries cost more than the car. The landfills refuse to take them and they are sitting there leaking acid in the ground. My God, you people are stupid.

Technology has evolved

Renewables have not evolved nearly enough to make them a viable alternative to traditional energy sources. Not even close. And it is reckless and dangerous to pretend that they have. I'll bet a boatload of money that school districts in areas with months of cold weather end up ditching their electric school buses or not changing them to begin with (if they're given the choice).

Why not the much smarter and more viable--and cheaper--alternative of converting school buses to natural gas? This would cut their emissions in half. Nah, not good enough, right?

Well then, let’s just get to 10 percent of our energy from renewables
Then 20, then 40, then 50.....

And then let's sprinkle fairy dust and hope for the best. "Renewables" rely on traditional energy sources to exist. Do a little reading about the making of solar batteries. Windmills require at least 40 gallons of oil, and that oil must be changed periodically. I repeat: there is no "green" energy source that is even remotely close to being able to replace petroleum and natural gas, and it is reckless and dangerous to pretend otherwise.

Green extremism has become a religion for many liberals, so in most cases no amount of fact is going to get them to admit that their proposed "green" solutions are not as green as they pretend, and that there is no "renewable" energy source even on the distant horizon that has any feasible chance of replacing petroleum and natural gas.

A report found that after recommendations to winterize plants went unheeded after 1989, some of the same plants were again shut down by cold in 2011.

They generalize in the article, the fact is there have been no State wide events similar to the one in Feb 2020, But hey keep on lying, you're getting good at it, typical commie. LMAO

Apparently, It hasn't dawned on you that you're not the only person that's lived in Texas for a while and that Texas is a very large State.

Keep clinging to your fantasies and I hope they'll keep you warm when the next "once in 500 years" event hits.

You stupid commie fuck, I live where hurricanes, tornados and thunderstorms take out the power all the time. I have my own generation equipment when the power fails. It's called being prepared. Unlike you commies I don't rely on government to meet my every need.

.

Yeah okay, you've convinced me, I get it, you're an infant that is incapable of admitting when it's made a mistake and has to resort to name calling because it can't carry on a rational discussion.

Now why don't you go ahead and waddle up those basement stairs, find the nearest adult and ask them to tell you what happened in the Winter of 2011, you might actually learn something. It's a good thing a majority of Texans aren't as immature as you are else it might take then another dozen or so "once in 500 year events" to finally winterize their power plants.

The USPS is also going all green

You do realize there are thousands of old battery run cars in the UK sitting in a field because the replacement batteries cost more than the car. The landfills refuse to take them and they are sitting there leaking acid in the ground. My God, you people are stupid.

Technology has evolved

Renewables have not evolved nearly enough to make them a viable alternative to traditional energy sources. Not even close. And it is reckless and dangerous to pretend that they have. I'll bet a boatload of money that school districts in areas with months of cold weather end up ditching their electric school buses or not changing them to begin with (if they're given the choice).

Why not the much smarter and more viable--and cheaper--alternative of converting school buses to natural gas? This would cut their emissions in half. Nah, not good enough, right?

Well then, let’s just get to 10 percent of our energy from renewables
Then 20, then 40, then 50.....

And then let's sprinkle fairy dust and hope for the best. "Renewables" rely on traditional energy sources to exist. Do a little reading about the making of solar batteries. Windmills require at least 40 gallons of oil, and that oil must be changed periodically. I repeat: there is no "green" energy source that is even remotely close to being able to replace petroleum and natural gas, and it is reckless and dangerous to pretend otherwise.

Green extremism has become a religion for many liberals, so in most cases no amount of fact is going to get them to admit that their proposed "green" solutions are not as green as they pretend, and that there is no "renewable" energy source even on the distant horizon that has any feasible chance of replacing petroleum and natural gas.

Nice try Chicken Little

Alternative energy sources are here and taking a bigger share of our energy utilization.

Now, all you have to worry about is Windmill Cancer. But I hear you can block it if you sleep in a tinfoil hat

and the average school bus logs 12,000 miles a year in 9 months

That is 60 miles a day

You're assuming there's no need to take school teams, cheer squads and bands to away games. Here in TX that could be 100 miles, each way. Out in West TX even further.

.

Like Texas would ever buy Electric School Buses

Drill Baby, Drill

Yeah, we're so backward we produce almost 30% of the wind energy produced in the whole US. How much does your backwater shithole State produce?

.

We have seen how dependable the Texas power grid is

Best you stay away from electric vehicles.....unless you charge them in Cancun

Poor little commie, you deflect instead of answering a simple question. What time of day do you download your commie talking points?

.

It’s fantastic that Texas produces so much wind power. What’s not fantastic is their power grid infrastructure that was not conditioned against severe weather events...to save money. Money over lives is a bad choice.

The turbines froze up and would not generate power, Catch a clue!

Yes, the froze because they were not winterized as was suggested be done after the 2011 freeze. They chose not to upgrade the system because money is more important than human lives.

Yeah, those once in 500 year events can be a bitch. Funny I didn't see you commies condemning NY and NY for not being prepared during Super Storm Sandy. Run along you hypocritical commie bitch.

.

Unfortunately, Texas had that "once in a 500 year event" twice in 10 years but like they say, third time is the charm.

You're a liar, I've lived here for 30 years and have never seen the kind of temps for an extended period like we did in Feb.

.

Sorry but you must have missed what happened in 2011 (and before that in 1989) when Texans were advised to weatherize their power generation facilities, you might want to do a little research before you start calling people liars.

"Texas has received warnings about its preparedness going back at least three decades.

In 1989 and 2011, Texas experienced significant power disruptions as a result of severe winter storms. Following both events, government regulators recommended power plants in the state prepare their facilities for the extreme cold."

Welcome to /dev/null.

So being prepared is a mistake? And you call me an infant, infants aren't self reliant. Sounds like it's you that needs to grow up. BTW I didn't get cold in the Feb storm, unless I went outside, so why would I in the next one?
