Well slap my diesel truck and call it irony—this latest gem from NBC News reports that thousands of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the U.S. are busted, offline, or flat-out missing-in-action. You read that right. Biden’s big green infrastructure push is running on empty—but don’t worry, the taxpayers are still footing the damn bill.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Government’s newest trick? Pour billions into busted EV chargers—because apparently disappointment is included at no extra charge.
- Over 20% of public EV fast chargers in California weren’t even working right—and that’s supposedly our future?
- Federal cash is flowing like cheap beer at a frat party—$7.5 billion allocated to build these miracles of modern dysfunction.
- Private companies are blaming ‘vandalism’ and shoddy installation, while conveniently cashing in government contracts.
- Meanwhile, actual Americans driving actual gas-guzzling vehicles are watching their roads crumble while green overlords virtue-signal from Teslas they can’t charge.
My Take
Here we go again—more tax dollars jammed into another half-baked green energy project that works about as well as a screen door on a submarine. We’re being sold electric utopia with “chargers everywhere!” but forgot one key thing: how about they f***ing work? This is the kind of tech bro fantasy turned bureaucratic clown show government always excels at. They pat themselves on the back for building a million chargers, forgetting thousands don’t even turn on.
Listen—I’m not anti-electric. I’m just anti-BS. And this here? This is prime-cut bull. If you want to run your car off unicorn tears and good intentions, fine by me—but don’t siphon my paycheck so some Silicon Valley outfit can install spark plugs made of lies along I-25. You want real energy independence? Drill here, drill now—and let free markets pick winners instead of Washington’s eco-circlejerk committees.
