Wait. Didn’t the anti-EV people in this thread say gas would always be available in a storm? And that EVs would be a risk due to lack of power?

Except you can still charge EVs, but you can’t buy gas…

I think it is fair to say that in certain weather events ICE vehicles may have an advantage and for others EVs may have some advantages. I saw some people on X (Twitter) talking about issues with evacuating and gas supplies. I wish everyone down in the Tampa the best. This hurricane looks monstrous.

Or Al Gore telling us in the early 2000s that in 10 years all coastal cities would be inundated and underwater? Or AOC telling us @10 yrs ago that Earth would be unable to sustain life within 10 years? Those kind of goalposts?

She's been in the public eye telling us this since at least 2016, that's "@" 10 yrs ago. But taking your point, that means you agree we only have a couple years left on this planet. What about the snowball earth warnings? Or the coastal cities all underwater? I won't hold my breath for your reply, but expecting you'll have more ad hominems.

I didn't expect you to address the goalposts question. I'll answer for you, the earth is not frozen over, nor are all the coastal cities underwater hurricanes notwithstanding, nor are we a scant few years away from climate extinction. Fact is, no one in the history of the planet has shifted goalposts farther or faster than climate alarmists.

did you conveniently forget that a lot of areas were without power last storm? Hard to charge if you dont have power.

The Daily Mail is the best place to get (unbiased) US news. Sadly.
