Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski joins Scott Slocum on WJOL to discuss why Illinoisans should care about the massive green new deal bill being debated in the legislature.
Wirepoints piece on the energy bill:
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.
Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss how politicians can never spend enough on education despite there being no accountability for that spending, the growth of education staffing across Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $1 billion demand for Chicago schools, why Gov. Pritzker is providing $830 million in taxpayer subsidies to struggling EV carmaker Rivian, and more.

Can we not play Jenga with energy and economy?
It’s better to give gas than receive it. 🤣😂😁
This law passing will get me to move out of Illinois or run for office.
my other comment about the ” green new steal” is that theres 195 countries in the world,so if the u.s and only a few other countries are trying to become ” greener”-whats that going to acclompish with the so called ” global warming”?-heres a hint-NOTHING!!!
On top of which, India and China are more or less constraint-less in these “deals,” so all other countries are big net Losers to participate and strain their populations & economies. Further, no one mentions how the U.S. has been trending down in the ever-sacrosanct CO2 emissions, but so what, give America the biggest gag order!
so if the average tesla goes 370 miles on a charged battery,and you need to drive somewhere thats 410 miles away,youre going to sit for 7 or 8 hrs to recharge your tesla to go the extra 40 miles ,15 hrs in a tesla for your trip,roughly 7 hrs in a gas car for same trip,hmmm,sounds completely logical to me!
Silly, they don’t want you driving long distances at all! They want you on a government owned train or plane so they know who you are, where you’re going, and what you’re doing!
Traveling south on I57 in the middle of corn fields (they have their own form of beauty) a Tesla quietly passed with it’s plug cover open and it’s driver with a death grip on the wheel in a state of panic. I honestly belly laughed at the foolishness of it. Being taught what to think, not how to think.
Yes this is very true. Those options still sound better than sailing a cruise ship to Europe, Caribbean, etc. Those cruise ships can be nasty. 🤔☹️
🤢🤮
Junk Science for Public Policy!!! And pass me another slice of ‘pork pie’!!!
If everyone is charging a car, they better make sure the electric company is very happy, unregulated, low taxed and able to build more nuclear plants. Otherwise moving every car to electric wont happen. Personally Id never own a n electric car, I don’t want anything I have to plug in or worry if I can get to Minocqua on a hot day with the AC running all the way without having to charge it again on the way. But for those who think an electric car is a good thing, you’ll need some nuclear plants.
It will happen. There will be a lot fewer cars.
California is on the verge of a power grid failure due to high temperatures and people charging their EV’s. State officials are asking EV owners to charge their vehicles during off peak hours, reduce air conditioning use, postpone laundry, shut off lights etc to conserve power. Just imagine a cold, dark, calm day with no solar or wind pumping out juice. These people who believe in this all green system are totally nuts.
“These people who believe in this all green system are totally nuts.
Nuts and corrupt, just the way IL democrat likes it! And the bonus is none of them are orange!
… as in Northern Irish, Trump photos or something else? Nothing would reduce greenhouse gasses faster than much higher taxes on gasoline and jet fuel. Also tax bullets while they’re at it. Most voters don’t understand the word “regressive” nor do they read the NY Times editorials.
Also, let’s rename everything containing the word Ford or Chrysler.
