Fox Business – ‘The Bottom Line’ – Hosted by Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy – Broadcast June 23, 2023
Government ideology is ‘imposing’ electric vehicles on a population: Marc Morano – ClimateDepot publisher Marc Morano discuss the EV push and how Ford is preparing another round of layoffs on ‘The Bottom Line.’
ClimateDepot.com publisher Marc Morano, Marc Good to see you. So listen, you see Ford diving driving all of this money into EVs, the government telling them you know certain thresholds they have to meet, and EV sales. And it seems like America is not ready for it.
Morano: No. This is government ideology imposing electric vehicles on a population that has shown over and over it’s not interested. In the case of Ford, their gas-powered cars are subsidizing the EVs, but now with government mandates shutting down the US automaker’s ability to make gas-powered cars, it does one thing is the empowerment of China. China is now set to surpass South Korea, & the United States as a key exporter of cars and is headed to global dominance and this is according to Business Insider and Bloomberg. This is like a slow-motion train wreck. We’re watching government mandates destroy what’s left of the American auto industry for this fantasy about electric vehicles
Business Insider: After years of preparation, Chinese car companies are poised to upend the US electric-vehicle market.
Q: I want to move on to that Multnomah County and Oregon is suing more than a dozen fossil fuel companies to hold them accountable for the unprecedented heat dome event back in 2021. And take a look at this. The county is seeking 50 million in actual 1.5 billion in future damages 50 billion to better prepare for the changing climate. How did it why did they sue China?
Morano: That’s right, China is the world’s leading emitter of the co2, which is what they’re worried about. This is nothing short of a climate Shakedown. This was done many years ago by States Attorney General led by Eric Schneiderman in New York and others.
They’re literally weaponizing every weather event, and they’re saying, ‘Pay up or the weather’s gonna get you’ as they want to shake down these companies by trying to blame them for the heatwave. Now, here’s the kicker. Joe Biden’s EPA is the savior to these companies. If they want to use it in court, Biden’s EPA has a chart that shows the 1930s heat waves by far 10 to 20 times higher than anything we’re experiencing now.
EPA: U.S. Annual Heat Wave Index, 1895–2021:
75% of all heat waves occurred before 1955 in the United States temperatures record. So heat waves, by that metric, aren’t getting worse. So I don’t know what they’re suing them for.
It’s a climate Shakedown. It’s a cheap way to get money. They’re using every weather event, and this has to be stopped. We need science and logic to stop it. But unfortunately, that’s in short supply in our current culture.
Q: Before I let you go because after a massive forest fire broke out in Yosemite Park last year. Democrats were quick to blame it on climate change but they were wrong. It turns out it was actually a Democratic donor who started the fire that wasn’t climate change. While he can’t write this stuff.
Morano: Now you get Democratic politicians come out and blame the wildfires on climate change, when in reality, it was Democratic donors that caused the wildfires.
Then the odd thing about this is if you look at all the data on wildfires, there are dramatic drops from 100 years ago in the United States.
There is no trend in wildfires, no trend at all the extreme weather, but it doesn’t matter. This is the narrative, and if they need an arsonist to help The Science along apparently they’re not beneath doing that at this point. And again, this is the same thing — blaming the wildfires on climate blaming, mandating EVs saying ‘We need to do it for climate’, suing energy companies for climate. It’s just a collective mass hysteria. About climate has now become a massive cash grab. But that’s really what this is all about.
That donor democratic donor probably wants to cash in on more solar and wind subsidies because the more fires we have, the more they’re gonna spend to try to ‘solve’ the ‘climate crisis’.
Q: Yeah, wait until these solar farms catch fire. Marc Morano, it is great to see you. Thank you so much for being here.
Thanks Marc. By the way, better means
Morano: Thank you Dagan and Sean.
All of the EV mandates and stricter emission standards are literally making China the global automaker powerhouse.
The crushing of U.S. automakers by govt policy is like a slow-motion train wreck that everyone can see happening but everyone is afraid of stopping it because they don’t want to appear anti-green.
China benefits from EV mandates by being the dominant supplier of batteries, cheap (underage and slave) labor, and by not following the same environmental standards as the U.S.
The West is committing economic commit suicide by EV
So-called ‘climate lockdowns’- a term coined by a George Soros, Bill Gates, funded professor in 2020- are now a reality with car restrictions and flight bans beginning. Even the mainstream media notes how ‘climate compliance’ costs are forcing airline prices higher and out of reach for low-income and middle-class citizens. See: https://www.climatedepot.
