Avast, me hearties! Me be marooned in an electrical vessel at the witching hour. Them swashbuckling do-gooders be keepin' hush on me dire straits!

Avast ye! Biden and his scurvy Democrats be sailin' the high seas o' clean energy, fixated on them fancy electric carriages, or as they be callin' 'em - EVs! But mark me words, me hearties, the fanciful ideal painted by these forward-thinkin' lubbers be naught but a ghastly nightmare awaitin' us all!
In a humorous tone, the author criticizes the Democrats' clean energy revolution and argues that the country is not ready for it. The author mentions that the Left's preferred eco-reality is far ahead of our actual reality. One major aspect of the clean energy revolution is the push for electric vehicles (EVs) and the mandate in several states for new car sales to be EVs by 2035. However, the author points out that the country lacks sufficient charging infrastructure to support this transition. The author shares a personal experience of renting an EV for a weekend trip and facing challenges due to the limited battery range and the scarcity of charging stations. The author humorously describes the panic and frustration of trying to find a charging station that is compatible with their non-Tesla vehicle. Eventually, the author's EV battery dies, leaving them stranded in the middle of nowhere. After a long wait and a series of frustrating experiences, the author finally manages to get an Uber ride home. The author concludes that this experience showcases the problems and limitations of EVs and questions the feasibility of installing the necessary infrastructure for a widespread transition to electric transportation. The author also raises concerns about the reliability of the power grid, especially during extreme weather conditions, and argues that even if the infrastructure existed, the grid may not be able to handle the increased demand from EVs. The author suggests that staycations might become the norm and criticizes the high prices of EVs.
