Lansing BP&L has only one source of power, one coal plant!-----GM spokesperson Kristin Zimmerman admits 95% of “clean” energy to charge electric cars comes from COAL

GM spokesperson Kristin Zimmerman admits 95% of “clean” energy to charge electric cars comes from COAL
"...General Motors (GM) spokesperson Kristin Zimmerman has become something of an internet sensation for letting the cat out of the bag that “electric” cars actually run on about 95 percent coal.

During a recent unveiling of the new Chevy Volt, Zimmerman demonstrated for the media how the supposedly “green” vehicle is simply plugged into a power source for energy. 

And this power source, at least in Michigan, is mostly burned coal.
A man in a suit pulled out the giant plug (watch below) and waved it in front of the cameras, prompting laughter from the press, before inserting it into the Volt. 

A journalist then walks up to Zimmerman to ask her about the power source behind the plug.

“So what’s charging the batteries right now? What’s the source?” one member of the press asked in response.
“Well, here,” Zimmerman answered. “It’s coming from the building.”
“I mean, what’s their mix of power?” the press member then responded.
“Oh, actually Lansing feeds the building. Lansing feeds power to the building, so I don’t know … I’ll bet you they’re a bit of coal, oh they’re heavy on natural gas, aren’t they?”
J. Peter Lark from the Lansing Board of Water & Light, the power company Zimmerman was referring to, quickly cleared up the discrepancy.
“Right, it would be charging off the power grid which is about 95 percent coal,” Lark told the reporter...Read all!

Cop Suspended Without Pay For Mocking LeBron James

Cop%20Suspended%20Without%20Pay%20For%20Mocking%20LeBron%20James%20%u2013%20Summit%20News: 

• Cop Suspended Without Pay For Mocking LeBron James
• Don’t make fun of BLM

"An Idaho cop who mocked LeBron James in a viral Tik Tok video has been suspended without pay and is now under investigation, with many expecting him to lose his job.
The controversy started when Nate Silvester responded to the basketball star’s infamous deleted tweet where he wrote, “You’re next. #Accountability,” alongside a photo of Nicholas Reardon, the officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant.
Bryant’s death became a rallying point for Black Lives Matter despite the fact that she was literally attempting to stab two other African-American women to death with a knife before Reardon intervened with deadly force.
Silvester responded to LeBron’s awful take on the incident by creating a skit where he arrives at the scene of a violent crime taking place and then calls dispatch.
“Dispatch, I’ve arrived at that disturbance. Will you have LeBron call my cell phone right away, please? Thank you,” states Silvester while telling those involved in the altercation to hold on while LeBron calls back.
“LeBron, hey, yeah, it’s me again,” Silvester states. “Listen, I’m out here at this disturbance call and there’s a guy trying to stab another guy with a knife. What do you think I should do?”

• It’s official: food inflation has arrived. Food prices soared 3.9 percent in 2020, the Department of Agriculture recently reported.

"Americans spent a lot of money on groceries over the past year—and it isn’t just because they were eating more meals at home. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, food prices jumped 3.9 percent in 2020, nearly triple the rate of inflation.

"A clinical scientist and immunologist-virologist at a southern California laboratory says he and colleagues from 7 universities are suing the CDC for massive fraud. 

The reason: not one of 1500 samples of people tested “positive” could find Covid-19.

'Joe Biden's stupidity is now a threat to the West': Bolt

BUCKLE UP! EPIC thread fact-checks Biden’s #JointSession claim we’re in a ‘gun violence epidemic’ to push gun control and BOOYAH

"Biden proving once again he knows jack and squat about guns, gun laws, and gun violence.

To be fair, Democrats as a whole typically don’t know much about guns or the Second Amendment other than the few talking points they think will resonate with stupid voters and keep them in office. Luckily, there are folks out there like Amy Swearer who DO know a thing or two about guns and gun violence who are willing to provide the FACTS.

Imagine if Biden would listen to someone like her, just once:

Take a look:

But epidemic sounds like pandemic and allows Biden and Democrats to try and force more control on the people.

Nolte: Biden Congressional Address Was an Anti-Vaccine Infomercial

Nolte: Biden Congressional Address Was an Anti-Vaccine Infomercial: 

What struck me most about His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s Wednesday night address to congress was how it seemed as though the entire federal government had gathered to stage a nationally-televised piece of performance art with one blaring message: The coronavirus vaccine does not work! Do not get vaccinated! Look at us! LOOK AT US, we’re vaccinated and nothing’s changed!!!

Everyone from His Fraudulency to Her Vice Fraudulency to the Speaker of the House; absolutely everyone in that congressional chamber has been vaccinated, and yet, through their own actions they screamed out their belief that the vaccine is, at best, worthless.

Joe Biden has 'no active role in running the US government'

Why I regret buying an electric car - The Spectator

"I bought an electric car and wish I hadn’t. 

It seemed a good idea at the time, albeit a costly way of proclaiming my environmental virtuousness. 

The car cost €44,000 ($53,000), less a €6,000 ($7,200) subsidy courtesy of French taxpayers, the overwhelming majority poorer than me. 

Fellow villagers are driving those 20-year-old diesel vans that look like garden sheds on wheels.

...The car is chargeable, but only if you don’t cook, wash clothes or turn on the dishwasher at the same time.

...We arrive and hunt and ultimately find the charger. 

It doesn’t work. Range anxiety? 

More like a panic attack.

We make it to the next charger on the freeway with the battery practically empty and my marriage in peril. 

...In Britain, meanwhile, the Department for Transport has, I read, granted an exclusive contract to install rapid chargers at motorway service areas to a company glorying in the name Ecotricity. 

These turn out to be equally unreliable and very costly to use. 

Social networks are rapidly bombarded with complaints...Read on. It gets worse!

Trump Allies to Counter Left, Block Biden by Going to Court: 

“The only difference between what happened to the Trump administration and what we are going to do is we’re actually going to have the law and the Constitution on our side,” says Matthew Whitaker, acting U.S. attorney general under Trump and one of those involved in the new organization.

Whitaker joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to talk about America First Legal’s plans and some of the biggest issues, including illegal immigration and Second Amendment rights, to emerge so far from the Biden administration.
