Beschreibung

There are eight billion of us on the planet and most of us strive for lifestyles of affluence, consumption, and mobility. We buy what we want and we go where we want to go. 


These capitalistic-driven, hedonistic desires consume non-renewable energy and non-renewable mineral resources. If left unchecked, our consumption and mobility desires will deprive future generations of sufficient quantities of these resources.  


This is not news.


However, rather than moderating our consumption habits, we have gratefully accepted a get-out-of-jail-free card. We have been led to believe that our overindulgence can be countered by making a shift to electric vehicles. We have also been led to believe that adopting electric vehicles is a solution to the climate change crisis. Guided by academia and elitist groups such as the IPCC, the World Economic Forum, and the Club of Rome, our elected officials have embraced this panacea for our collective guilt.


Unfortunately, the primary cause of climate change is the cyclical patterns in the Earth's orbital eccentricity, its tilt axis, and its rotational spin. Mankind is not responsible for creating these cycles; nor can mankind change them.


The electric vehicle strategy is not only misguided-it is dangerous. As this book explains, the electric car strategy not only is gobbling up our resources, it ignores the Laws of Thermodynamics-it takes energy to make energy. The energy to charge an electric vehicle battery has to come from somewhere. There is no free lunch.
