A US firm Thursday unveiled plans to build a massive one-billion-dollar (667 million US) charging network to power electric cars in Australia as it seeks cleaner and cheaper options to petrol.
Better Place, which has built plug-in stations for electric vehicles in Israel and Denmark, has joined forces with Australian power company AGL and finance group Macquarie Capital to create an Australian network.
Under the agreement, Macquarie will raise one billion dollars to build electric-vehicle networks in the country's largest cities -- Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane -- while AGL will power the system with renewable energy.
So, let me get this straight:
1. You're going to drain a billion dollars from the real economy to fund
2. a project that will upend millions of lives
3. and cause massive amounts of carbon generation as new plants are built
4. to create "renewable" energy sources that are horrendously inefficient to
5. transport energy over long distances with the inevitable energy losses
6. to second-rate cars that people are buying for the wrong reasons
7. to solve a problem that doesn't exist in the first place.
It's becoming clear to me that greenwashing has achieved a major miracle: both tree-hugging lentilists and rent-seeking corporate statists are united, using the same PR scam to fuck over everyone else who isn't in "the game."
Fucking cunts.
