Switzerland to limit use of ELECTRIC cars

Post by Niemand »

The climate lockdowns?
Electric vehicles have become popular over the past few years. But EVs could take a significant hit based on what’s happening in Switzerland.

According to a report in the Telegraph on Saturday, the country is considering emergency measures in case of an electricity supply shortage this winter.
Switzerland... could shorten store operating hours, lower the thermostats at buildings, and limit the private use of electric cars to “absolutely necessary journeys.”

These proposed measures haven’t been passed into law just yet. But they serve as a reminder that electricity doesn’t magically appear at every wall outlet — and EVs don't run on fairy dust.

Imagine if a government, perhaps all governments, had the best interest of their citizens in mind and so stressed all through school the importance of being self reliant and self sufficient as far as possible instead of forcing a dependence on government. Every home would have solar or wind power whether enough to totally power their needs or at least to supplement.

There would be no Karen demanding that people stop killing animals and get their meat from the store.

Everyone would have savings for an emergency. There would be no government social programs. Churches would be charitable organizations for the crippled, elderly, sick, or needy. Government would have no subsidy programs. Nobody would be paid not to work.

Then I woke up...

Meanwhile a private jet flies over the news conference on the announcement as several billionaires make their way to Monaco to attend a masquerade ball.

Just when I started disliking the Swiss they redeem themselves.
