The IRS Booster Act does not give a tax credit for a single coal burning car that is made in the world right now because of the requirement that 50% of the materials for the battery need to be from North America, and none of them are.
Ford also raised it's price of the F-150 coal burning truck $7,500 just in time to get your subsidy, paid for by the poor and lower middle class.

When lawmakers drafted the climate and energy package, one of the main focuses was to freeze China out of the supply chain. The legislation aims to stimulate U.S. production of raw materials like iron and phosphate as opposed to relying on batteries that contain high levels of nickel and cobalt that are imported from China.
In order to qualify for the $7,500 tax credit, electric vehicles must contain a battery built in North America with minerals mined or recycled on the continent. The legislation stipulates that by 2024, at least 50% of EV batteries must come from the U.S., Canada, or Mexico, with that figure rising to 100% by 2028.

There is a battery that bypasses China's advantages in materials. Congress is forcing the auto makers to use that battery (designed in Texas) rather than keep buying 60 year old technology from China. If the auto makers keep buying from China, the auto makers can't take advantage of the $7,500 rebate.

No it won't. Ford just raised their price for the F-150 Lightning to the amount of the subsidy.
They're not the only company either.
It will be a fad that rich little bitches buy, off the backs of the poor and lower middle class. And I'm really looking forward to the rich bitches getting into fights with each other at the charging stations when it takes ages to charge them and there aren't enough stations.
Coal Burning Cars are not the future. At least not for another 20 or 30 years. And that's only if TPTB start building the infrastructure today. And that infrastructure is going to have to include a LOT of nuclear power plants. Because the solar and wind power isn't even helping the grids from browning out as it stands already. Renewable energy is a hobby.

A new analysis from McKinsey & Co. estimates that the investment, in new infrastructure and systems, needed to meet international climate goals could be $9.2 trillion a year annually through 2050. That comes to a grand total of $275 trillion worth of investments in energy assets and land-use systems ranging from agriculture to forestry. But if 6ix is the critical obstacle, the world burns to death.

Quote:On the basis of this scenario, we estimate that global spending on physical assets in the transition would amount to about $275 trillion between 2021 and 2050, or about 7.5 percent of GDP annually on average. The biggest increase as a share of GDP would be between 2026 and 2030. Demand would be substantially affected. For example, manufacturing of internal combustion engine cars would eventually cease as sales of alternatives (for example, battery-electric and fuel cell-electric vehicles) increase from 5 percent of new-car sales in 2020 to virtually 100 percent by 2050. Power demand in 2050 would be more than double what it is today, while production of hydrogen and biofuels would increase more than tenfold. The transition could lead to a reallocation of labor, with about 200 million direct and indirect jobs gained and 185 million lost by 2050—shifts that are notable less for their size than for their concentrated, uneven, and re-allocative nature.

Not to be overlooked, but McKinsey & Company estimates 6ixStringJack is an ignorant idiot. Download that special report on 6ix at https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/sustainability/our-insight

Hitler's Scuttled Black Sea Fleet, Centuries-Old 'Hunger Stones' Emerge From Dry Riverbeds In Drought-Stricken Europe
Sunday, Aug 21, 2022 - 11:35 AM
Extreme droughts across Europe are revealing thousands of years of lost history.
In some regions, centuries-old warning messages etched into boulders have been exposed. As StrangeSounds.org reports, these rocks - known as "Hungersteine" or "Hunger Stones"
One stone, embedded in the Elbe River, which runs from the mountains of Czechia through Germany to the North Sea, dates back to a drought in 1616, is once again visible in the dry riverbed.
The warning reads, "Wenn du mich seehst, dann weine" – "If you see me, weep."
"Hunger stones” like this one were used as “hydrological landmarks” across central Europe, NPR reported when the stones last surfaced during a 2018 drought.
In Spain, the Valdecanas reservoir has dried up and revealed a prehistoric stone circle dubbed the "Spanish Stonehenge," officially known as the Dolmen of Guadalperal, which has been covered by water since 1963...
Finally, and perhaps most dramatically, a Nazi fleet of 20 World War German warships re-surfaced as the water level in the River Danube in Serbia plunged to extreme lows...

Current Conditions at Lake Mead & Lake Mohave
Declining water levels due to climate change and 20 years of ongoing drought have reshaped the park’s shorelines. As Lake Mead continues to recede, extending launch ramps becomes more difficult and more expensive due to the topography and projected decline in water levels. Lake Mead National Recreation Area encourages visitors to plan ahead and stay informed by checking current conditions and alerts.

The record-breaking heat wave that swept across Europe this year will become the "average" summer by 2035, even if all countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by as much as they have pledged to, according to an analysis published Thursday.
The analysis by the UK's Met Office Hadley Centre, commissioned by the country's Climate Crisis Advisory Group (CCAG), looked at how quickly temperatures are changing across the region using historical records of mean summer temperatures since 1850, and comparing them against model predictions.
"In the aftermath of the 2003 European heatwave, which is estimated to have killed over 70,000 people, I predicted that such temperatures, so exceptional at the time, would become the norm under continued emissions. That prediction has now been realized," said Peter Stott from the Met Office Hadley Centre. "The risks of extreme weather, including fires, drought and flash floods, will keep increasing rapidly unless emissions of greenhouse gases are reduced substantially."
"The data released by the Met Office today shows that, even if countries meet their commitments to reduce emissions they have made so far, the situation is still set to get worse, with weather in Europe predicted to become even more extreme than seen this summer," he said.
"This data doesn't fully account for the instability of the Arctic, which we now know is a global tipping point which that could have major cascading consequences for the entire planet."

Modelers are constantly being surprised by nature. Just a few years ago they were all agog about those big deep jet stream loops and slowing precession. Now it seems that we're seeing the jet stream has wandered so far north it's no longer dragging storms across the northern continents.
