'Let Them Drive Teslas!' Says Pete Buttigieg Clad In Elaborate 18th-Century Royal Gown

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Upon reading a communiqué describing Amercans’ growing discomfort with record-breaking gas prices, coupled with dependence on foreign oil, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, clad in an elaborate 18th-century royal gown, announced to his twittering entourage, “Let them...

I wonder if Buttigeig owns an EV himself or if the driver picks him up in one?

The doink doesn't even realize that there isn't inventory to make a significant difference or that the electrical supply is inadequate to handle the extra burden if there were. Shear genius that one...

The Bootiejudge is way out of his/her/their (whatever) league just like the rest of this administration.

Yea, what a rocket surgeon that one, let's see, 300 million drivers, please then 10 million Tesla's, yea, that'ill work! Loves me some maths!

The Babylon Bee is supposed to be a spoof site? Isn't it? I thought the potato in chief was basically saying the same thing though? High gas prices? We must go electric!

Rivian announced they are only going to be able to produce about 25,000 trucks this year because of supply chain shortages. They have a long waiting list of buyers but the buyers are going to have to wait until the finacial crash has been going on for a couple of years so that the supply chain can catch up with demand.

I read news earlier today that both were giving this message along with our Energy Secretary. All the Bee did was to reword it to make the Marie Antionette "Let them eat cake" comparison.

There is more truth at the Babylon Bee than CNN and MSNBC combined.

A year ago The Bee was satire. Now The Bee is prophetic. That's horrifying.

The Bee would be hilarious if it wasn't so true and horrifying.

So, just what does Pete and Joe plan to do about the fuel situation?
Being forced to buy the Biden Blend that's been sitting in the storage tanks for a few weeks prior but suddenly we're having to pay the higher prices, yea, that's maths out legit!

Phuck Joe Biden and his Biden Blend!

Maybe Pete should go console his new convict queer fella in prison.

If they wanted to help:

1. Reverse the EO's Biden signed the day after he was sworn in that castrated American energy including coal and pipelines.
2. Drill Baby Drill Then Drill Some More
3. Stop the feel good ethanol boondoggle. 10% ethanol to me means a 10% reduction in fuel efficiency, same with 15%. Basically it's a filler that provides nothing. It's an overall waste of all energy put into it's production and transportation. Use that land to replace lost grains for the world market that will result from the Russian embargoes.
4. Step up ginormously for nuclear fusion (not fission) research. There has been a recent breakthrough using strong magnetic fields and we may be on the cusp of near limitless cheap energy.
5. Push hydrogen fuel cells instead of electric refueling stations. The lithium used by current battery systems is a pipeline of money to China and fuel cells are cheaper, hold the energy longer, and don't need to be replaced every so many years.
6. Get off the backs of US businesses and stop regulating just to regulate.

Why not fusion? My understanding is that there have been some recent breakthroughs, and it seems like it is far cleaner than fission with the spent fuel... less for greenies to whine about.

I meant fusion not fission, corrected above. That's what I get for writing things pre caffeine saturation. It's the best way to make fossil fuel obsolete, though I will never give up a gas stove or a fireplace. Think about what practical fusion means to the money supply of many of the world's bad actors.

It would be great to tell the Saudis - among other folks - to shove it.
