The government publishes the fuel economy of all cars and
trucks sold in the USA. The document is 17 pages long and I never
imagined there were so many different brands and models within the brands that
fill 17 pages. Here is the link to
publication.
We have a real big push to increase the fuel economy of the
fleet of cars. This is smart thinking as
a chemical reaction avoided is added entropy avoided and the green machine is
all for slowing the growth of entropy in our chaotic world. Egypt and Syria probably are leading the
world in Entropy creation right now.
Looking at the government fuel economy publication two
entries stand out. The first is the Bugatti
Veron AM-S7 8 liter 16 cylinder that gets a combined highway and city fuel
consumption of 10 MPG. The second is the
Chevrolet Spark A-1 Electric Vehicle that the US EPA claims will get 119 MPG.
The Spark EV gains the 119 MPG equivalent if and only if the
generation of power to the grid and the transmission of that power to the batteries
of that car are 100% efficient. Of
course we know that is not the case but my Hypocrite Congressman and the other
bought politicians in DC are quite happy to have the EPA lie to the American public
so that their policy of subsidizing plug in vehicles looks like we are making
massive progress in fuel efficiency.
The entire purpose of fuel efficiency is to lower carbon
emissions. In 2005 US carbon emissions
did peak and in 2012 they were significantly lower than 2005. Unfortunately in 2013 carbon emissions will
be up again as coal fired electric power stations will dispatch more power this
year than last. The EPA knows this but
still uses 100% efficiency for plug in vehicles when they well know coal fired
stations are less than 40% efficient.
In 2005 then Senator Obama made a speech at Knox College and
he returned to make a major policy speech a few days ago. The speech centered on economics. His performance in delivering that speech was
about as good as his performance in the first debate against MI T squared. The New York Times loved the speech but I
think it was the same old rhetoric from a tired president leading an
incompetent administration. Here is a
link to the full text of the President’s speech.
In 2005 the cost of attending Knox College was only 60% of
what it is today. The unemployment rate
at 5.3% then was only 70% of what it is today.
The cost of gasoline was half of what it is today and the US carbon dioxide
emissions were 10% higher than they are today.
Yippee we have reduced carbon dioxide emissions and increased everything
else. The trick is to reduce college
tuition costs and increase employment while reducing carbon dioxide
emissions. Perhaps the fees that liberal
arts colleges charge should be indexed to the carbon emissions in the USA. Then these liberals will push the EPA to not
lie about the MPG equivalent of the Chevy Spark and other plug in
vehicles. They actually may start teaching
students real skills for real jobs such as drilling for shale gas and oil.
Mr. Obama moved on from Knox in Illinois to Missouri later that
day to talk to students at the University of Central Missouri. The President’s crack security staff that is
known for their sexual exploits in Columbia barred 10 students who happen to
be Republican from attending the speech.
President Obama has
learned from Congressman Huffman how to block truth from their show and tell events
that are orchestrated for their blind followers. Huffman does
it on Facebook and Obama does it in person.
Maybe that is why Huffman raced back to Georgetown University on the red
eye to listen to Obama’s nonsense speech on climate. Huffman wanted to take the seat of a smart
young Republican at Georgetown who may have actually asked the President a real
question on the administration's failed energy policies.
News on Jared Huffman this week is that he joined 42 other
congressmen to expose the toxic waste for the oil and gas industry. Of course I emailed his staff that he should block
the solid toxic and hazardous waste that comes from the Bloom Boxes that he gave
away all the California SGIP money to help his largest individual donor AT&T. Mr. Huffman is an outright hypocrite, and Mr. Obama
is just the man with the courage of Mr. Carter and the morals of Mr. Nixon. While Barak Obama talked at Knox College, the Chinese
were eyeing our gold in fort Knox as they continued to build more coal fired
power station and gasoline fired cars.
The Syrians and Egyptians were busy killing their opponents knowing that the leader of
the west will not lift a finger and deliver some hard knocks.
