  2. For you amateur photographers…
    Remember; framing your photo is very important. Take note of what objects are in your frame and what are missing…

    Like the complete lack of electric vehicles and the glaring inclusion of a giant diesel-powered generator in the background. LMFAO. At least “they” got “their” pronouns correct. Read the Twitter comments in the provided link. They noticed too.

  3. They’re showcasing the three biggest policy lies of the left in one shot

    Fake pandemic, AGW, and gender.

  4. I’m not sure you could design a more inefficient way to charge an electric vehicle.

    1. I guess they could be using a windmill or solar panel instead of the generator… hopefully this comment doesn’t give them any ideas.

      1. Uneducated immigrants on bicycles because we don’t need anymore Uber drivers and AI, Minimum Wage and Automation will do what they do.

      2. Bicycle power! Each customer must pedal-charge his dead EV. And the EV fan bois will claim its “good for you” … it’s healthy exercise … Right?

        They told us all it would be “good for us” to take an hour or more “pause” to … read a book … or do other zen-like activities while you drain your time away charging your toxic batteries.

        1. Bicycles are a possibility but it won’t be uneducated immigrants on those bicycles though, will it?

          Better get your hands on some biking shorts while you can fellow deniers.

      3. Yeah, an adult human sized hamster wheel.

        I thought a little more about my comment, and came up with, They would get their daily exercise, and burn calories, which means they’ll need to ingest food, that they would then need their electric vehicle to drive to the supermarket across town to buy food, drive home and cook it on their electric cook tops and in their ovens, which use even more precious electricity, (Home human hamster wheels anyone) then the next day, they will need to drive back to the charging station to recharge their now depleted power in their car, and start the whole process over again!

        Yes, all one sentence.
        A busy meaningless life that they can enjoy with virtue signalling:)

  6. The Generac equipment is probably a back-up generator to supply power to nearby facilities in case the electric grid fails. It’s likely natural gas fired.

    1. Murray, mostly diesel for the big commercial ones/industrial ones,butt prop/NG for home use. Just helped remove a 40KVA diesel unit, now replaced with NG unit. Gubberment installation! T’is what my buddy does!

        2. Exactly right, Murray. All of these went in after the great eastern North America grid collapse on August 14, 2003. Thousands of motorists found themselves stranded at various gasoline stations because they were running out of gasoline and the pumps at the station wouldn’t work (for obvious reasons). Most of the major fuel stations, particularly on the 400 series highways leased by the Ontario government all have diesel generators as backup power supply. My understanding is that most of them are diesel sets.

  7. Deb Shulte MP (she/her) and Steve Pellegrini (he/him?) and Seamus O’Regan Jr ( dumb phxxk)

  8. It does get worse with this comics in office politicians as they spend our way into oblivion.
    These internet relay towers in the middle of no where need diesel generators to power them up and helicopters to bring in the fuel. Our politicians use more fuel lying to us then actually letting our society grow through natural innovation.
    This forced electric version will fail spectacularly like the wind turbines of Texas…

    But hey, they get kick backs from these companies as well as give juicy free money to these companies by incentive programs.
    Like a self contained wheel of credit creation conversations to cash.
    Unfortunately we are on the hook for the bill.

    1. jojo, wait till they invent that new fangled capacitor some fools keep telling me about:-))))

  9. Hey Seamus. When are you going to start taxing the electricity used to charge the EVs?

    Got to replace the fossil fuel tax revenue somehow!

  11. Primary reliance on electric power, with diesel/non-renewables becoming society’s new “alternative”/backup power source, is not just the inevitable future, it’s also a desirable one too.

    You may not like it—you live to complain, after all—but understand that it’s the only world your great-grandkids will ever know.

    1. No, you’re wrong. There won’t be Ev’s, the die off “after oil” will be glorious!
      Liberals are stupid, but environment wackos combine liberal stupidity with zealotry, and that’s not a combination that bodes well for future generations.

    2. You’re only partly right. There aren’t enough materials to make “Batteries For All” so lowly scum will be forced to take public transit to clean the houses and chalets of their rich masters of the kleptocracy.

      1. And to add to Buddy.

        DESIREABLE…?? Bullshit.

        Where oh where are you going to get ALL that ELECTRICITY from hmmm..?? To Charge up a North American FLEET of what …~500,000,000 EV’s…LMFAO.!!
        Ain’t ever gonna happen….why?

        …cause
        Hydro is Tapped out world wide – only so many rivers one can dam. And I will personally Shoot the SOB that tries to dam the Nahanni River.
        Fossil Fuels..?? as if
        Wind n Solar…ha ha ha ha ha ha ha….in your WET Dreams.
        That leaves NUCLEAR generation which has ZERO hope against the cabal of ECO-Tards world wide.

        EV’s are a virtue signalling DAMNED Expensive Joke…..meant to be for certain.

        2. steakman,
          There won’t be 500 million EV’s, you forgot they plan to reduce our “carbon footprint” by reducing us down to just enough peasants to service the desires and needs of the elites. Any population beyond that is needless waste.

          Gotta conserve the planetary resources only for those that require them.

    3. It’s a mlong way away. Only zealots and criminals demand you change your life for their benefit.

    4. You and offspring, hopefully none will spend your days pulling farm equipment by hand for some local War Lord Farmer for a bowl of soup.
      I know you are not to bright. But fossil fuel feeds the world. Without Fossil Fuel. We go back to 1820 before even coal powered trains. And animal and human powered farming. NET ZERO CARBON means 7B people die of starvation. Oil and gas produce the herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers to grow, seed the fields, harvest the fields, and haul the harvest. When you vote for NET ZERO you are voting for a painful death by starvation for 7B people.

      2. NET ZERO CARBON means. . .

        1. NOT ZERO. A number picked up out of the air.
        2. Something like pie in the sky.

    6. Unfortunately ‘green’ electricity requires mining.

      – mining for coal to make steel and concrete
      – mining for materials to make batteries

      Just about every hydro dam I know of has been opposed by green groups. And now they come in way over budget. For example Manitoba and site C dam in BC.

      Green electricity is not about being green, it’s about wealth redistribution (but with the Liberal elites keeping theirs).

    7. So are all the deplorable tradesmen who use battery tools going to have to go back to corded tools because of battery supply issues?

    8. In 50 years wind mills will be looked at as
      “What were they thinking?”
      They are an ecological disaster that requires huge amounts of energy to mine the rare earth materials and to manufacture. Then they destroy the countryside where they are installed plus killing millions of birds in normal operation.
      Not the future.

      3. People that live around these wind turbines think that now! When you are in the middle of a field of turbines and it a sweltering 35C with no wind or -35C with no wind, or too much wind, or not enough wind, you have to think, no air conditioning, no heat? No light? No electric stove etc, etc. It’s what happened in Texas. They didn’t back up all of the so called green power 100%. If the power isn’t there 100% capacity on demand it is not useful to our society.

    11. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Law of Thermodynamics does not care about your woke bullshit. Neither does shingles.

    12. That’s the stupidest “thought” I’ve read on the subject. If by “backup power source” you mean the primary power source used to dump amps into those chargers. Wind and solar will NEVER be used to charge EVs. Period. Solar and wind will NEVER be a primary source of power. EVER. By the time Earth based fossil fuels and nuclear fuels are exhausted, we’ll be harvesting energy directly from other suns.

  12. Reminds me of the recent clip of the lady proudly showcasing the new EV chargers outside the government building to the press when asked where the power came from replied “From the building”. When the local power company was asked, they use mostly coal-fired power plants.

    2. Robert

      I do…and love it.
      LONGETIVITY & for an 06 7800 lb 4 by ….@ 591,000 kms – gets pretty good mileage to boot. 21mpg at 121kph…..better than most Lrg SUV’s

  14. The proper way to make a hybrid car is to put the diesel generator in the car. Dr. Porsche figured that out all the way back in the 1890s, but it didn’t take as an idea at the time because transistors and microprocessors are required to take full advantage of the arrangement.

    It won’t take as an idea today when we can really do it right because we have the idea that the diesel generator has to be hidden so well that the normies don’t realize it exists so that they can maintain the idea that electricity is made by pixies or something.

    2. kfg, Actually, it’s made from unicorn farts and fairy dust. Of course, it must be carefully mixed in the correct proportions. There’s a whole secret industry geared to it’s manufacture. There are also protest groups whinging about unicorn mistreatment as well. Mostly, the protesters are fairies, cuz they have to work overtime to keep up with dust production. Pixies on the other hand do have something to do with it, they’re on the management side, and boy the dwarves are really pissed about it, cuz that was their job before they were downsized.

  16. One of the comments to that tweet was how hydrogen vehicles are the future. I watched an expert the other day on Sky Australia who said it will never happen. Hydrogen cars are moving bombs.

    2. Hydrogen cars are moving bombs.

      Actually, that’s a misconception, perpetuated by the demise of the Hindenburg.

      The main drawback is that hydrogen is difficult to store and handle. Welded joints in pressure vessels have to be completely free of porosities, otherwise it’ll leak through. Hydrogen can penetrate and accumulate inside metals, causing what is known as hydrogen embrittlement, something that can happen in natural gas pressure vessels. (I have personal experience with that.) It has to be cooled to and remain at low temperatures to be a liquid.

      But there are advantages to using hydrogen. It burns cleanly, the combustion product being water, and is far safer than gasoline. It is an excellent rocket fuel, but because of the aforementioned characteristics, other propellants are preferred.

      1. Yup, as a retired welder I’ve burned hundred of pounds of low hydrogen rod. 7018 and 8018.

        1. And I too have welded at least a Pallets or 2 of 7018/8018 (Prior to the days when wire feed systems were being employed), along with later inspecting said Vessels/Piping as a QC Inspector..

          H2 embrittlement (Cold Cracking), however is caused by NOT using proper care during fabrication:

          PreHeat is essential (min 50F and higher for Med C steels), Ensuring that there are no Potential sources of H2 (moisture – grease – oils), when welding, ensuring your Electrodes are kept in a heated container prior to use (200C). Using proper settings per size of electrode and burning “hot”.

          In service lines (that carry Fossil fuel of any kind), we normally do what is known as a BAKE out – heating the piping in Question for a number of hours at ~ 5-600C….burns off any residual H2 entrained in the piping.

          What happens when welding Mild/Med C Steels is that if the above are not taken care of, when the steel cools, Atomic H transforms into H2 (a much larger molecule) and it will exert extreme pressure on the steels Grain boundaries & cause Cracking.

          After Fabrication, Lots of NDE is done & Stress Relief is typical.

          1. Thanks for the education steakman, that was interesting. Are you sure pixies don’t have something to do with it?

          2. I should add something to my earlier comment.

            I took a corrosion course during my senior undergraduate year. (That was more than 4 decades ago, so my recollection of what I described earlier might be a bit fuzzy.)

            What the prof referred to as hydrogen embrittlement arises becuas the hydrogen can penetrate the outer layers of a metal. That’s because, first of all, it’s the smallest atom, and, second, there are likely vacancies in the metal due to its crystal structure into which hydrogen molecules could fit.

            Hydrogen can accumulate in those vacancies in sufficient quantities that it will cause the metal to distort and form blisters. At one gas plant I worked at, one of the vessels had that on the inside surface of one of the heads. Those blisters were clearly visible and it looked like the vessel had contracted a bad case of acne.

            I recall the way that was solved was to drill holes in the blisters to let out the gas, hammer them flat, and then backweld them.

            If those blisters are left unattended, they could rupture or, like you said, cause interior cracking.

      5. There is more hydrogen in a gallon of gasoline than there is in a gallon of liquid hydrogen. Sounds counter-intuitive, I know, but it is true.

  18. Somebody give us the cost of upgrading the supply/grid system to handle the increased load. How boutchoo, Elon? Or is that a question you don’t like?

    1. They think that by charging at night when the grid is only at 20% we won’t have too.
      That was an answer I got for a moron on YouTube.

  19. Do you have to kill any trees or uproot any ducks or anything when you clear the land to build the new transmission lines?
    You know, like you do with pipelines?

    Do fallen power lines cause any forest fires here like they did in the US the last few years?

    Where does all the copper and steel come from to build the new transmission lines and transformers and such?

    Do endangered birds fly into power lines and die?
    Like this?

    Google ‘bird deaths powerlines’.

  20. Waiting to see an EV run out of power on the Don Valley Parkway and just stall. The operator will rush to a charging station to get a bucket of electricity. Fun days ahead

    1. David, I’m sure the operator will send pixies to get that bucket of electricity, it is 2021 after all. They live in the glove boxes of EV’s.

    2. I recall reading a story by a Tesla owner lamenting his drive home from work on a winter’s night. His charge was desperately low because he forgot to charge his car the night before so he turned off his lights, heater, radio and more to try and get home. All I could think was ” Frigging moron. You forgot to charge your electric car. Yoj have more money than brains.”

  22. Canada is like a wooden sailing ship of yore.
    Half way across the ocean.
    As we speak, the Liberal Party Minions are busy at the stern of the ship, dismantling it, board by board; and busily transporting each board to the bow, where the Gorgeous Twit is entertaining the ladies of the country and keeping them warm with a bonfire.
    Happy ways!
    Bonfire of the vanities to be sure, but woe Canada, is bonfire of the vulva a thing?

  24. How very very sad.
    Schulte, O’Regan, Pellegrini and the photographer are clueless dolts. To them that big “thingy” behind them is one of those obscure artifacts of modernity…they’ve seen them plenty of times but what it does and why they’re needed, well, they were never curious enough to ask nor cared.
    Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of what things do and how it works wouldn’t have framed it in the photo.

  25. Army logistics guys told Hitler that they couldn’t ship enough fuel to invade Russia.
    He said they had horses and could live off grass.
    Winter was tough, so the Army got no gas and a bit of bulky, train car fluffing forage.
    Then they ate the frozen horses.

    1. I was thinking more along the lines of Shameless O’Rear…. (gee, I can’t think of how to finish it)

  27. It almost makes me want to rejoin Twitter so I can tell Seamus O’Retard what a retard he is… again. Almost.

  28. Notta Canadian…….THANKS! I just splurted my tea on my iPad,

    However – thats exactly the reply one would get from the majority of todays youth.

  29. You guys realize that all these fuckers – O’Drunken, BuilderBarbie, Bliar, Shiny Pony, The Decorator, Toenail Picker….they are ALL trolling us all the time with shit like this. The generator in this photo isn’t a mistake – this is them giving us all the BIG FUCK YOU to Canadians like they do with ALL their tweets.

    1. I’ve entertained that thought from time to time and I’m not totally disagreeing with you but there’s a part of me that says no, they really are that stupid.

  30. Shame-Us O’Wrong again, the same person who excoriated Ford for being an addict and checking into re-hab, then says he has an alcohol, problem and checks into the SAME rehab as Ford and expects people to think he’s a hero!
    He looks like a dumb Doogie Howser!

    1. Another loser technology, for virtue wavers.
      Self balancing motorcycle? Nope.
      Neanderthal ICE, yeah baby!
