Farmer explaining why liberals push for electric vehicles is currently impossible for farming “Someone asked why we don't use electric tractors to seed with, and here's why - I seeded 6,000 hectares (23.17 square miles) - It took around 30,000 liters of diesel, aka 321,600 kilowatt hours of energy...

Farming doesn’t run on feelings and hashtags. It runs on diesel, torque, and math. Liberals keep pushing fantasy while reality keeps planting food.

The push for electric tractors is a liberal pipe dream that ignores the backbone of America—our farmers. First, the energy math doesn’t add up: diesel’s efficiency in farming is unmatched, and Trump understood this, championing fossil fuels to keep agriculture thriving. His policies slashed fuel taxes, saving farmers billions, while green mandates would cripple their operations with impractical tech. Second, the infrastructure for electric farming is a fantasy. Recharging needs outlined here would grind production to a halt, threatening food security—a core conservative concern. Trump’s energy independence focus ensured reliable power for rural America, not pipe dreams like solar farms the size of small towns that can’t deliver. Finally, this green agenda dismisses the rural voter. Farmers aren’t guinea pigs for elite experiments—Trump’s 2020 rural support surged because he prioritized their livelihoods over climate dogma. Liberals’ EV obsession is a war on practicality, and Trump’s legacy proves we need energy realism, not fantasy. For more hard-hitting takes, follow @finaltelegraph!

We are a long way off from diesel being replaced by electric. The only reason it's getting pushed for is the Depopulation agenda. They want food supply to crash so they can blame it on climate hoax in the hopes we come running begging them to "save us" from a problem they made.

This farmer just dismantled the entire green agenda with nothing but math, diesel, and reality. 30,000 liters of fuel = job done in hours. Electric alternative? 322 Tesla-sized recharges. 918 hours of downtime. Or a solar farm the size of a small nation. They don’t want sustainability. They want control. Because starving you slowly looks better on a report than saying the quiet part out loud.

@WallStreetApes Urban planners lecturing farmers about efficiency is like vegans giving hunting tips to lions. The math doesn't lie—30k liters of diesel beats 321k dead batteries in a field any day.

Waymo is being marketed as a “Green environmentally friendly” because they are “all-electric, zero-emission vehicles” But take a look at this, the entire fleet here in Austin Texas is being charged with Diesel generators…. Just another scam Here’s something even more crazy, I looked it up and found that charging electric vehicles like this with diesel generators is actually WORSE for the environment than if you were to just buy and drive a gas powered vehicle So this means not only is it a scam, but it’s worse for the environment than just driving a normal car

Tesla has introduced an updated website for the production version of the Tesla Semi. "Charging with electricity can be cheaper per mile than refueling with diesel, and BEV maintenance costs are significantly lower given the absence of diesel aftertreatment systems and relative simplicity of electric powertrains. As a result of these savings, local and regional operators may be able to achieve a positive ROI prior to their standard diesel fleet replacement turnover cycle. With remote diagnostics, over-the-air software updates and fewer moving parts to maintain, operators will spend less time at service centers and more time on the road."

Elon Musk: Solar is already the source of the vast majority of Earth's energy. “A lot of people would say, well solar, can that really provide the energy that we need? A lot of people don't perhaps appreciate that solar energy is already the source of the vast majority of Earth's energy. Without solar power, we would be a frozen ice ball at about 3 or 4 degrees above absolute zero. So really, all we're talking about for solar electricity is taking the tiny, tiny bit of energy that humanity needs for electricity, which I emphasize is super tiny compared to the amount of solar energy that hits the Earth. You could generate all the electricity that the United States needs with about a 100 mile by 100 mile grid of solar power. So you just take like a corner of Arizona, and that would be all the energy that the United States needs.” From: / Youtube, December 4, 2011

Here's Elon Musk in 2009 explaining the advantages of electric cars. “For me it's been obvious for a while that we have to figure out a way to get off oil and that the solution is electric cars. The advantage of an electric car is that you can generate that electricity by renewable means. So, if you consume the electricity, if you're running electric cars and then you're generating your power with solar, wind, geothermal, which is increasing dramatically, by the way, if you're doing that, then you have a sustainable solution for the future. And obviously if you're burning oil, that's something that's going to end sooner or later. And so, it's better to do it sooner and avoid the environmental damage than later and have the environmental damage plus a massive wealth transfer from the United States to other countries.” Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, April 5, 2009

The Truth About Switching Our Economy To Electric Energy Exposed. $12,000,000,000 (Billion Dollar) Cost Per 1 Hour Of Battery Storage Would Be Needed. It’s Absolutely Impossible & Pure Insanity “I wanna talk about batteries for a minute because I know that everybody thinks that this economy is going to be operated on wind and solar and battery power, and it cannot. There is no industrialized economy in the world operating that way because they need baseload. And I'll tell you what I know about batteries because I talked to somebody who was thinking of investing in it on a two hundred megawatt plant. $1,000,000 to be able to get each megawatt stored. That's $200,000,000 for his plant alone, And he would get 1 hour of storage. So if you want me to have 12,000 megawatts of storage, that's $12,000,000,000 for 1 hour of storage, $24,000,000,000 for 2 hours of storage, $36,000,000,000 for 3 hours of storage, and there are long stretches In winter, where we can go weeks without wind or solar, that is the reason why we need legitimate, real solutions that rely on base load power rather than fantasy thinking. And I am not going to engage in fantasy thinking and say something is possible When I know that my principal job I I think we need to stop. Principle job is to have a reliable energy grid. That's what I'm trying to do.”

This is the sound of the all-electric Tesla Semi. Deliveries of the new Production Version begin this year: • Long Range model has 500 miles of range with a full payload. • 1.7 kWh per mile efficiency (average diesel semis are roughly 5–7 kWh per mile equivalent energy use). • Tri-motor powertrain with 800 kW of power (~1,073 hp), 3x the power of the average diesel semi. • The battery in the Semi is designed to last 1M miles. • Standard Range model (325 mi) has a similar turning radius as a Tesla Model 3/Y. • 0.4 drag coefficient. • Independent truckers are able to buy a Semi for use, not just fleet owners. • Semi fleet uptime is at 95% due to extremely low maintenance and reliability. • Integrated safety features in the Semi protect not just the driver but others on the road as well. • Future wireless charging. • Semi uses the same 4680 battery cells found in the Cybertruck. • Semi can power a whole refrigeration trailer or any powered unit. The technology is shared with Cybertruck Powershare.

The world's first solar-powered car. This was an electric car, a 1912 Baker, which, at the request of Charles Escoffery, was retrofitted with a solar panel for International Rectifier Corp. in 1960. It cost $20,000 at the time and would now be worth around $161,700. Why can't a technology like this be incorporated into new electric cars? Because they don't want to, they don't care about the your cost or the environment.

Here's Elon Musk explaining why we'll have to move AI to deep space. “I see a path to Starship cost-per-ton-to-orbit being lower than air flight. That opens up a very wide range of possibilities. The most obvious one I think is actually solar-powered AI satellites. So, to move the AI to orbit and essentially deep space over time, because you can actually access over a billion times more energy from the sun in deep space than you can on Earth. To scale to Kardashev, to make any progress on a Kardashev 2 scale, which is using some non-trivial amount of energy from the sun, you kind of have to do space solar power. You could only beam a tiny amount of that back to Earth or you would melt Earth. Earth actually receives a very, very tiny amount of the sun's energy. I mean, Earth is a tiny dust mote. Earth, to scale with the sun, we look like a little crumb. So, to scale civilization, to be at all relevant on a Kardashev 2 scale, like to even use a millionth of a percent of the Sun's energy, you really have to have your solar power in deep space.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025

Compared to the sun, all other energy sources are like cavemen throwing some twigs into a fire. The sun is over 99.8% of all mass in the solar system. Jupiter is around 0.1% of the mass. So, even if you burnt Jupiter, the energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. And then if you teleported three more Jupiters into our solar system and burnt them too, the sun still rounds up to 100% of energy.” From: Discussion with Peter Diamandis and Dave Blundin, January 6, 2026

I met Craig, the first Octopus Cosy 9 Heat Pump customer in Yorkshire, at The Energy Tech Summit. He has solar panels & battery, heats his home with the heat pump, charges his electric car at home - and drives 12,000 miles a year. And pays nothing for his energy. With solar to generate his electricity, battery to shift it to the evening & sell it to the grid, and a smart tariff to optimise all his electricity. This is the sort of stuff the fossil fuel industry know is coming and its one reason you see such vitriol. Of course, we'll still use fossil fuels for many years - but by ditching petrol/diesel and gas, people like Craig are living the cheaper, cleaner future and we shouldn't allow incumbency to slow it down.

Building one gigawatt of solar capacity is not 'clean'. It requires around 18.5 tons of silver, 3,400 tons of polysilicon, and more than 10,000 tons of aluminium. Producing the polysilicon alone consumes thousands of tons of quartz, coal, petroleum, coke, charcoal and wood chips. Refining the silver for one gigawatt uses roughly 4,600 megawatt hours of electricity, the annual power use of 400 US homes. Producing the aluminum consumes nearly 2 million gigajoules of energy, enough to power more than 100,000 households for a year. Solar power is built with massive fossil energy inputs. Only the output is labelled 'green'. These are the realities campaigners never want to talk about.

Elon Musk just weaponized gravity. The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions. Musk just sealed it. Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery. That is a complete misread of the physics. Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.” For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain. A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy. And what does it do with that energy? It throws it away as heat. Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.” Diesel burns twice. Fuel going up. Hardware coming down. A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived. The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent. It harvests it. Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.” Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery. The mountain stops being an obstacle. It becomes a power plant. Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing. Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible. Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down. Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons. They are solving the wrong equation. You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.

Elon Musk: Everything is solar power. The rest is noise. “The sun is about 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter's about 0.1% and everything else is in the remaining 0.1%, and we are much less than 0.1%. So, if you burnt all of the mass of the solar system, then the total energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. If you just burnt Earth, the whole planet, and burnt Jupiter, which is very big and quite challenging to burn, turn Jupiter into a thermonuclear reactor, the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system and everything else is in the miscellaneous category. Basically, no matter what you do, total energy produced in our solar system rounds up to 100% from the sun. You could even throw another Jupiter in, so we're going to snag a Jupiter from somewhere else, you could teleport two more Jupiters into our solar system, burn them, and the sun would still round up to 100%. As long as you're at 99.6%, you're still rounding up to 100%. Maybe that gives some perspective of why solar is really the thing that matters. And, as soon as you start thinking about things at a grander scale, like Kardashev Scale 2 civilizations, it becomes very, very obvious. I'm not saying anything that's new, by the way. Anyone who studies physics has known this for a very long time. In fact, Kardashev, a Russian physicist who came up with this idea, I think, in the 1960s, just as a way to classify civilizations, where Kardashev Scale 1 would be, you've harnessed most of the energy of the planet, Kardashev Scale 2, you've harnessed most of the energy of your sun, Kardashev 3, you've harnessed most of the energy of a galaxy. Now we're only about 1% or a few percent of Kardashev Scale 1 right now, optimistically. But as soon as you go to Kardashev Scale 2, where you're talking about the power of the sun, then you're really just saying everything is solar power and the rest is in the noise. Like, the sun produces about a billion times, or call it well over a billion times more energy than everything on Earth combined.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

Like, the sun produces about a billion times, or call it well over a billion times more energy than everything on Earth combined.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

Milk dependency in the orphaned elephants doesn't end at three, or four, or even five. Losoito is five years old at our Voi Reintegration Unit and still on bottles – up to 24 litres of specially formulated milk a day, fed every three hours, day and night. Keeper Walter has been with her for nearly every feed. Why? Well, bottles of milk serve several purposes beyond providing nutrients; they also offer comfort and time to bond with their caregivers. Despite being fortified, the formula we give can also never be considered a 100% perfect match. So we tend to find orphans remain milk dependent for longer than they might in the wild, taking advantage of the comfort bottles bring. This works to their benefit too, enabling a very gradual reintegration with plenty of time to learn the social and survival skills they need to thrive in the wild. With more than 100 orphans in our care, your donations can help to fund these hugs in a bottle:

Ansem explains why you need to learn AI right now “AI is going to make everybody 10x more efficient at whatever it is that they’re doing” “If you’re concerned about your job… you need to get up to speed and become an expert at using AI as fast as possible” “There’s going to be people who choose not to do that and people who do. In a few years, people are going to look at AI the same way as being able to use the internet” “Obviously someone who knows how to use the internet is a way better candidate than someone who doesn’t, it’s going to be the same with AI” “Whenever you have these technological breakthroughs happen, you create more jobs that didn’t even exist before. I think AI is going to do that more so than displace people”

This is nuts! I’m glad I just bought an electric car that I charge with solar panels the roof of my home. In 2023, it’s reported that 1 in 5 new car sales globally were EVs. That’s 20% of all new car sales. The electric vehicle space has grown much faster than many have imagined, and thanks to new laws and technology in the US and abroad, these numbers will likely continue to increase. With the improvement in batteries, and the addition of charging stations being built all over the globe, it’s only a matter of time before Electric Vehicles overtake traditional gas-burning cars and trucks. How long do you think it will take?
