The Electric Vehicle Industry is Imploding as the Green Energy Narrative Breaks Down.
Explore the truth about real renewable energy sources.

Yes, it’s true. The Electric Vehicle Industry is slowly self-destructing because consumer demand for these products is plummeting. General Motors quietly announced on October 18 that it is delaying production of all-electric trucks at Orion Assembly in suburban Detroit until late 2025.
In response to the spiraling sales of EVs, the Ram brand is providing a groundbreaking solution: The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger will come complete with a 3.6-liter V6 gas-powered engine linked to a generator that can recharge the battery while the truck is moving. Read more here.
Imagine that. Adding a gas-powered generator to recharge the truck’s battery.
Break down. Go ahead and give it to me.
After ruthlessly pushing the “save the planet” narrative, corporations, activists, and global elites are walking back their unyielding devotion to the religion of climate change because it is [finally] affecting their bottom line.
So-called “fossil fuels” are not only essential to civilization, but they are also the source of our great prosperity in the West and beyond. Gas and oil production has served as a kingmaker for many countries, elevating them from “developing nation” status to highly industrialized, financially stable, and prosperous countries.
Environmentalists, primarily from the political class, would like us to believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions naturally resulting from the use of fossil fuels needed for modern civilization are destroying the earth.
However, over 1,200 highly respected but skeptical scientists from all over the planet have signed the World Climate Declaration (WCD), declaring that there is no climate emergency (Icke, 2022). “We should free ourselves from the naïve belief in immature climate models,” says the WCD.
Let’s explore three things you need to know about the Green Energy scam:
1. So-called “Green Energy” sources are manufactured.
The promoters of Green Energy sure have done a fantastic job with the messaging. By calling solar panels, windmills, and batteries for electric cars “renewable energy” sources, the implication is these products are easily reproduced and safe for the environment. THEY ARE NOT.
We’re told that vehicles powered using fossil fuels are destroying our planet, but cars powered by batteries that are charged using fossil fuels are not. Really?
A report from The Swedish Environment Institute concluded that manufacturing batteries for electric cars contributes to a very high rate of carbon dioxide in the air. Read the full article here. (Not to mention the fact that replacing an EV battery can cost as much as $30,000!)
To go one step further, the demand for gas and oil creates good-paying jobs for Americans from lower-income regions of the country. The demand for lithium for batteries, however, incentivizes governments that don’t have laws against child labor to exploit their young citizens. I detailed this in a previous post. Read it here.
2. Fossil Fuels are the REAL renewable energy sources.
In contrast to windmills and solar panels, carbon is found naturally in the environment. Fossil fuels—coal, petroleum, natural gas, and heavy oils—contain carbon, which is formed as a result of photosynthesis, the geologic process that converts organic matter into energy (Britannica, 2022).
Do you see the irony here? Products manufactured in an industry dominated by China, with a finite lifespan and reputation for being unable to be recycled, are labeled as “renewable.” Meanwhile, carbon found in nature and created through recycling dead foliage through Photosynthesis is branded as harmful to the environment.
Others are pushing a narrative that natural resources are scarce and will soon run out, but they won’t. There’s no evidence to support that these are in limited supply.
In fact, the US Energy Information Administration noted in 2019 that the US has 47 billion barrels of crude oil reserves (World Atlas). More than 30 states in the US produce oil, with Texas, North Dakota, and New Mexico at the top of the list. There is no shortage of oil in America or elsewhere.
3. The earth is not in any danger, but humanity is.
Yes, it’s true; we need to be good managers of the earth and the resources at our disposal. No one disputes that. However, even proponents of renewable energy understand that it could be decades before these sources ever replace fossil fuels.
Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, warned that “civilization could crumble” if we don’t use oil and gas in the immediate future. Wow. This is the man who stands to become a multi-billionaire if countries were to officially transition to Green Energy.
During this same interview last year, Musk said, “We actually need more oil & gas, not less.”
The Wrap-Up
Gas and oil production has served as a kingmaker for many countries, elevating them from developing-nation status to highly industrialized, financially stable, and prosperous countries.
An abundance of affordable energy is critical for any civilized society. In addition to providing revenue from exports, oil and gas enable manufacturing, which, in turn, drives food production, the distribution of clean water, new construction, transportation, and innovations in health care—just for starters.
These so-called “fossil fuels,” such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are not harming the environment. In actuality, they are a component of our ecosystem. Even fourth graders understand that CO2 is needed to feed the plants, and then the plants die to create more carbon for energy.
So, the next time you want to separate fact from fiction regarding the Green Energy craze, just follow the money. The entities pushing this sham narrative have—and ended back where it all started with real renewable energy sources.

Ford too said they were pausing. They lost something like 3 billion from the transition and they are projecting 1.5 billion or so each year in losses going forward for the foreseeable future. They(Ford) ironically is trying to make up the difference with ICE vehicle sales. My father, who is an insider in another unnamed auto manufacturer who claim they are being “forced into it” which we know. Look at the CEO of Toyota who was removed after saying EV’s weren’t the way forward however his replacement also believes in a multi tier approach of hydrogren and ammonia combustion, ICE, EV, and Plug in hybrid. One of them made a statement that they were afraid EV’s would make owning a vehicle unaffordable and unattainable for the average consumer. That is what the Globalists want. Limited range, control over the power supply, 15 minute cities and the removal of private vehicle ownership. Say hello to your new government issued EV egg on wheels. It will kill the auto industry as well. Why have free market in the auto industry anymore?
Thanks Amy for clear thinking and some simple facts in an area that has become a new religion. Mind you, the facts don't matter in this area because a propaganda campaign to top all propaganda campaigns has been in play for more than 50 years. We had lunch with friends earlier in the week who had enrolled in an Australian government small business course and the first lecture was on the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals and how to align your business with them. This was more important than how to make a profit!
Not only governments but not-for-profit foundations, educational establishments, political groups, well-funded protestors - the list never ends. A reality check is coming but it may be too late by then. It's hard to find the root cause (perhaps rejection of God?) and determine how to deal with it because fear has been used so powerfully - not just with climate issues but also with COVID.
