You’ll love this: The Colorado Sun reports that a nonprofit is now stepping in to train technicians because nearly 20% of taxpayer-funded EV chargers across Colorado are out of order. Yep—our government burned through your money to slap together a web of fancy green virtue-signalers that now don’t work half the time. Sad trombone.
The Bullet Point Brief
- 20% of Colorado’s EV charging stations flatlined—likely during their coffee break.
- Taxpayer dollars paid for most of them (because of course they did).
- Now it’s up to a nonprofit to fix this mess because the government hasn’t figured out how screwdrivers or accountability work.
- Training programs are ramping up… but maybe just train people to say “told ya so.”
- Green tech: still overrated, overpaid, and underperforming.
My Bottom Line
What do you get when you mix taxpayer dollars with bureaucratic pipe dreams and green grift gobbledygook? A whole bunch of electric car chargers that don’t work. Surprise! Turns out when you build something not because it works—but because it checks off a line item in someone’s climate manifesto—you end up with useless metal statues dotting the highways like monuments to legislative incompetence. And now, since government can’t maintain its own toys (big shocker), nonprofits have to swoop in and duct-tape this electric carnival back together.
Let me be crystal clear: I’m glad some nonprofit finally stepped in. Beats watching another billion-dollar federal pipedream sizzle on the pavement next to the fried circuit boards. But can we just acknowledge how ridiculous this whole thing is? If oil rigs quit working at a 1-in-5 rate, the entire country would melt down into an MSNBC special report. But when green tech fails? Crickets—or worse, more funding. This isn’t progress; this is political theater soaked in lithium battery acid. Want reliable energy? Drill here. Build here. Power here.
