#1 I listened to Dave Smith break this down on the Part Of The Problem podcast. Massie wasn't actually rude to Buttigieg. But it's obvious that this is a politically motivated, non-serious pose by the Biden Administration. I'm guessing if they were serious we'd need to be breaking ground on 100 nuclear power stations right now.

#2 We're gonna need a whole lotta Coal fired power plants!

#3 As I said in a previous post, the bastards in power know that the grid will not support all the EVs planned. It's by design to keep us from being able to travel. Much easier to control a population that can't travel

#5 [Massie said] President Biden’s "impractical electric car policies" will hurt middle America.

That's the aim of these Greenie Weenies. They [EV proponents] should be required to get everywhere via bicycles, EVs or on foot. Moreover they need to give up their planes and foot the bill themselves for their greenie transportation.

#6 Peter Buttgig is a miserable twerp who took 8 weeks of unauthorized maternity leave and would have taken more had he not been called by the office. There is no gag in the movie Office Space even close.

Assuming Massie doesn't mean general HVAC, Air Conditioning is really only used in earnest 1/3 to 1/4 of an entire year, depending upon location, all the more damning.

"And a charging station in every corn field."

Imagine, you have just a few days of the right weather for harvest, and your grain train travels from the shed to the field and you are already at half power. Look up the migration routes of custom cutters, and imagine them stopping every 100 miles for 2 hours. Then imagine those 2 hours count against the number of allowable driving hours per day, plus whatever the waiting time for an open charging station.

All those heavy electrical wires and nodes just sitting out there in tornado alley, collecting ice in the winter, sparking when the wind blows.

#7 Maternity Leave?!

#8 Ref #8: Peter Buttgig is a miserable twerp

Giving "miserable twerps" a bad name is really not wat we do here.

#9 Maternity leave. Told his husband that he was just heading over to Europe to talk about trains and pick up some baby formula when there just happened to be a monkeypox rave going on. South Bend indeed.

The type of brother fucker who would interrupt with with a wellahksually and smirk about it, even being deliberately wrong just to see who would contradick him.

#10 Can't have "maternity" leave with no mom in the house...

#11 ^#6 Air Conditioning is really only used in earnest 1/3 to 1/4 of an entire year,

Massie is a MIT grad. I assume he considered that in "average".

#12 His audience though is well below. I'll tell ya, I'm losing my ass on AC bills this time of year, lines are stressed, and nobody is trying to charge up their Case or Massy.

I agree about the Maternity Leave - when two guys buy a child, children in this case, it should be called something else.
