$40 million Of Green For Gangrene





Folks we are not talking about the pharmaceutical industry doing some ground breaking research on the horrible disease of gangrene.  We are talking about more misguided government policy to coerce people to buy electric plug in vehicles. 

Several states led by the Once Golden State enacted legislation to impose “pollution” penalties on automakers who do not sell “enough” plug in cars.  Those makers that only sell plug in electric cars like Tesla can sell offsets to other manufacturers to avoid the state imposed penalties.  In 2012 Tesla collected $40.5 million in revenues from other auto manufacturers based on these cockamamie state penalties.  This equals approximately 10% of all of Tesla’s revenue.  This is a very sweet deal for Tesla that is teetering on the edge of survival.

Now let’s see if the state enacted legislation does any good for the environment or is simply another boondoggle to screw the poor in favor of the rich.    Tesla sold a total of 2,650 cars in 2012, hence the “pollution” credits equaled over $15,250 per car.  The IRS gave a $7,500 tax credit for the car and the state of California gave owners another $2,500.  Therefore each Tesla has a direct or indirect government subsidy of over $25,250.

These subsidies were all in the name of “green”.  The Consumers Report test drive of the Tesla showed the car needs 0.38 kilowatt hours per mile of battery power.  This equals 0.42 kwh/mile of grid power.  The Royal Society in the UK in a very recent publication calculated that each kwh of battery storage needed as much as 694 kwh of primary power to produce the lithium ion battery (the worst case scenario).  This means that each 85 kwh battery pack required 58,990 kwh of energy for their production.

Let us assume that each Tesla is driven 12,500 miles per year and lasts 8 years for a total of 100,000 miles.  Dividing the 58,990 kwh needed to produce the battery pack by the 100,000 miles we have to add 0.59 kwh/mile to the 0.42 kwh/mile to get the full kwh/mile to drive a Tesla.  This is 1.01 kwh per mile.  

The average emissions for power in the grid in the US is approximately 1.3 pounds of CO2 per kwh.  The tesla therefore emits 1.313 pounds of CO2 per mile.  The pounds of CO2 emissions per gallon of gasoline including oil extraction, transportation and refining, as well as on board combustion is about 25 pounds per gallon.   Therefore the Tesla is no better than a gasoline car that achieves 25 divided by 1.313 or only 19.04 MPG.


The Federal and State governments are transferring over $25,250 of poor people’s money to the super rich for each and every car that only achieves the emissions equivalent of a car that achieves 19.04 miles per gallon.  I was disgusted with the waste of money in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I am not surprised by the utter waste of money in subsidizing the toys the rich buy in the name of green.  We are living aboard a ship of fools with the captain navigating using a moonbeam.

Post Script ----  I did some additional checking and the US DOE Argonne Lab states the primary power as 472 kwh not the high of 694 kwh in the UK report.  Using the 472 kwh we get hte 85 kwh Tesla battery pack will need 40,120 kwh of primary power.  Dividing by the 100,000 miles we have 0.401 kwh per mile for the production of the battery pack.  Add the 0.42 kwh/mile for the charge energy for a total of 0.82 kwh per mile.  Performing the same calculation to get the equivalent mpg for CO2 emissions the result is 23.45 MPG.  Therefore even in the best case using the most optimistic DOE data the policy still makes no sense

    We add only the best unblocked games, so our gain is quality not quaintity. Visit us and enjoy playing unblocked games at school or at work!

    Why mario Games Are Popular
    Every once in a while, one is bound to get bored in a meeting or in a lesson that is mandatory yet one has no interest in. In such cases, too many people get extremely bored as they have nothing to do for the entire duration of the meeting or the class yet they are on lock down. Unblocked games offer a perfect solution in such a case.

    Institutions, such as schools, businesses and companies, normally lock out most of the game sites from their network to prevent their work force or students from getting distracted during working hours or class time. Kizi Games that are unblocked, however, are accessible from anywhere and this contributes greatly to their popularity. As long as one has a stable internet connection and a device such as a tablet, smart phone or laptop, one can easily access the game.

    Many unblocked games that can be accessed online are usually very engaging. This contributes to their popularity as one is able to temporarily elude boring reality when playing. The engaging nature of different games serves to make such games popular in general but at the same time, games that are more engaging are normally more popular.

    Games are fun. That is why people like playing them. In recent times, the number of gamers has been on the increase especially with the sharp growth in the number of smart devices in use. Unblocked solitaire games pack in lots of fun, which contribute to their allure to many people especially during boring moments.

    The number of unblocked kizi games that can be accessed anywhere with ease is simply mind numbing. There are all sorts of games from classics to mission games. Games are added on sites daily and therefore, one is basically spoilt for choice when looking for a game of interest to play. This has made games all the more popular as it becomes possible for all types of people, adults and children alike to find something that they actually enjoy.

    Some games that are unblocked, depending on the nature of the game encourage the interaction of gamers through the gaming platform. This further increases the appeal of unblocked online games. It also increases the challenges that one can encounter in the game as a game basically involves a challenge that one has to overcome to score points or go to the next level. The fact that unlocked games are a way round restrictions also increases their popularity and appeal.
