When are these people going to learn to do their homework, before trying to come after Sec Pete Buttigieg?
Pete Buttigieg, Katie Porter, and John Stewart.
F@€k around and find out. 👏 👏 👏 🧠
They literally can't. Even the most cursory research will show that all the talking points they have are completely refuted by facts. EVs catch fire at a far lower rate than gas powered cars. A study of NEW CARS shows EV fires occurred in 0.0012% of EVs worldwide between 0 and 3 years old. Gas cars showed a rate of 0.1%. That means around 75000 gas powered vehicles caught fire worldwide last year. If they were all EVs instead only 900 of them would have caught fire.
They know exactly what they are doing...
Because it's what the right does now. Lie. Make stuff up. Trump does it so they do it.
He's the best. ❤
"Mr.Secretary, let me provide some perspective from the oil industry, that got me elected and lines my pockets regularly. They think this is a bad idea, because it means they will sell less dino juice. 'People' are very concerned about this. How do you respond?"
Clear thinking. Thanks. Just like my dear lost dad.
Spot on!
How very true!
RIGHT ON THE MONEY (literally)
💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰
DING! DING! DING! 🛎
1 - it's not "dino juice" No dinosaur has ever gone into the making of petroleum. Oil is made from decayed plant matter. It's much like the sludge you find in swamps. 2 - EV's require tremendous amounts of plastics, all of which are petroleum-based anyway. 3- lithium to power said EV's comes from exactly one place on the planet right now. China. North of 80% of all lithium is mined in China, most of which is along the Yellow River. Currently, over 93% of the world's lithium is refined in China. China does not have the environmental regulations surrounding such industry as western countries do. In fact, they have exactly zero environmental regulations at all. This is why the lithium mines in China and the sludge pits around there, are the most environmentally toxic places on the planet. 4- Most cobalt that is combined with the lithium to make the batteries, is mined with literal slave labor in Africa. China currently owns and operates all of those mines. Before you get on some pedestal about the second coming of the battery of Christ, actually research the topic so you know at least a little bit about what you are talking about.
My Tesla Model S is 11 years old still running on the original battery and I drive it 100 miles a day to work. The misinformation out there is amazing. People who have never owned an electric vehicle Try to spew all these insane things. Talk to a real owner.
Congratulations. What I don’t understand is why they keep attacking EV’s when one of their biggest donors is Elon Musk.
@@Peanutbutterb00b5exactly what I can't wrap my head around too😂😂😂 . I mean whose side they are on. They don't seem to be in any side ,but take all side to. Boy they are a total chaos.
@@Peanutbutterb00b5 Musk has talked about making donations to the trump campaign. Has he actually made any? You'll recall that he's also talked about ending world hunger.
As to the republican stance, it's pretty simple - compare donations from the battery and EV industries to donations from the oil industry.
Then compare the number of people employed in red and purple states by battery and EV companies to those employed by oil and (traditional) car companies.
While we're at it, if republicans accept any of the environmental arguments for EVs, they make it harder to defend the coal and gas industries - also significant financial and electoral supporters.
Most of the misinformation cones from this Nazi dude names Elon.
What is the max miles you can go on a single charge and please be honest.
"My time has expired, and so has my credibility". This hearing was pure cringe.
I beg to differ that his time makes him credible. 😊
He really thinks he slayed with that one. 😂
Cringe? I thought it was a hilarious roast!
Why do these guys continue to try to play “gotcha” with Pete Buttigieg? He flattens them everytime.
Exactly 🩵🩵
@@pamelamccall5653 😆 🤣
He’s way too smart for them😂😂😂
Just like all the other Maga BS, they dont have facts, just fantasy
You're right Pamela. Pete is not just smarter than the Rs trying their gotchya crap, he's prepared with facts and he has an honest agenda. Republicans are too deep in big oil pockets to be able to focus on any positive initiatives that Democrats propose because it means, in their eyes, a loss, even if it's good for Americans.
Buttigieg looks calm,collected and smart.The other guy looks like a psycho. 👏🤣
And the best thing about Pete is, that he not only looks calm, sollected and smart.
He definitely is it!!
@@ChristianBubeck-e3v Anyone who thinks evs and trains are the future, can't be all that smart.
@joecole7122 do you think we have an endless supply of fossil fuels?
@@ethanc4389 Yes. We keep finding more. And where is the electricity going to come from to fuel the EVs. FOSSIL FUELS. And no, wind and solar won't cut it. They couldn't produce anywhere near the electricity we would need. Only nuclear and fossil can do that.
The smartest thing Burlison said was "My time is expired."
Totally agree!!!
When he said that, and the video ended I literally said out loud, "I wish it would forever."
Thank god
Yes!!! Smartest thing he said.. by far!!
That's for sure, he just got Pete-shredded.
I’ve had an EV for eight years. No fire yet. You are not supposed to leave a child in ANY car. OMG
Incredibly sad you had to explain that but here we are..... it's 2024 and humans in this country seem to be devolving. This was a disingenuous argument from Burlison. What a buffoon!
What do you do when the battery goes dead and the electric locks don't have the power to unlock?
@@user-kr1zj6lm2u My car doesn't operate that way. I can unlock the car by pressing the button when my keyfob gets near it. I don't believe it has anything to do with the car's battery. Plus, there is a regular key in the keyfob, if that doesn't work. Of course, I have a Volt, and it has a gas engine if I run out of electricity. I don't know why they discontinued the Volt. It's a great car, especially for this transitional period between gas and electric cars. At any rate, I've never had any problems like you describe. And btw, I would have bought this car without any rebate. I like only rarely spewing crap into the air, and it looks hot!
I wonder what percentage of the sticker price that EV is worth now as opposed to a gas vehicle.
@@carlsanders7824 I wouldn’t know since I’m 78 and have no intention of selling it. I bought it new, and it has given me very little trouble. Plus, it looks snazzy!
Buttigieg is an honorable man and knows how to untangle these republicans
Honorable... how?
@@grantjohnson235 the man served his country admirably in the Armed Forces; Is a dedicated public servant; speaks and treats everyone with courtesy, compassion and decency; has never been involved in a corruption scandal, is dedicated to his family. what else do you need to know?
@@allisondeller6330 Pete is a decent man also. So there is no room for him in today's GOP. I am a straight white male former Republican nearing 70. Pete would have my vote for POTUS.
As an outsider looking in from across the pond I have to say here’s your man America, he would represent you in the best way at home and abroad.
@@DaleF-xs7bj straight white male, former republican before they became lead by one man, I would vote for him too.
My own representative is an utter fool. Buttigieg put Burlison's cheap "arguments" to shame.
Burlison wants us to believe that Republicans are suddenly concerned about the health and safety of average Americans? What a joke. The only honest thing he said was, "My time has expired." Yeah, buddy, it really has.
@@pahtar7189 come on, everybody knows All politicians are corrupt in one way or another…..‼️‼️‼️
Uhhh, the Cratzi Party cares about "health", after putting thousands of elderly to death in nursing homes during the Covid hysteria, and after confining Black and Hispanic city dwellers in disease friendly apartment complexes After the flu season had ended? The latter move boosted the death rate among African-Americans to four times the national average......
Burlison is not prepared for this conversation. I am a republican' and see clearly Burlison is having a bad day. Maybe he has 12 day old jet lag or a cold. My concerns over the charging stations is the money. The gov is terrible at managing stuff like this. IE Solyndra etc There is a sweet spot for EV's in our economy we need our leaders to get this right. Recently, I watched CEO of Ford talk about EV's Burlison should of watched it. Elon is working on lithium refinement in Texas we need to figure out how to solve refinement vs letting China dominate refinement.. Lithium is common, the challenge is refining. Yes the gotcha stuff is not productive.
Well said!
@@mikeross1880 , the government is terrible at managing it but they are not terrible at handing out subidies to produce things. Just like the oil and gas industry has trillion/billions of subsidies, they can divert some of that into renewables/charging stations and what not in the private sector. All the gas stations didnt get built over night and I do not imagine the charging stations would get built overnight either.
Anyway... while all this is going on in regards to EV's , the USA is producing more oil/gas than it ever has in our history according to the EIA record keeping.
This is the guy that should be running for president. He'd crush any republican during debates. But since he's gay, the old fashion americans would be confused and scared lol
Agree! Pete Buttigieg has the intelligence, poise, and vision needed for the presidency. His ability to articulate complex issues clearly and effectively would be a significant asset in debates. It's time we move past outdated prejudices and recognize leadership qualities regardless of sexual orientation. The focus should be on his capabilities and policies, not personal aspects that have no bearing on his competence.
@SolunaCreative On which particular planet? Nothing but an unqualified, Brandon toadie, pushing the nonfeasible EV mandate to make China richer.
Yep, and scared of a woman, too.
@@Remember_whenhes not afraid of anyone
@@suzigrekin8849 I meant that maga voters are afraid of gays and women as presidents.
Imagine the feeling of failure he must’ve felt when he got home that evening and his wife asked him how his day went
Making a big assumption here
@@CrimeMinister1 that Eric has a wife named Angie?
I like the part where all hell didn’t break loose.
I just turned this on. No breaking loose of hell??? I thought not. Neither of these idiots, I mean people, seem to have a solid grasp on what they're talking about. Where's Biden when we need him?
@@alext8828you said both were wrong, oh I see you voted for Trump! Didn’t you, when the truth is given you look the other way, just like the debate, Trump stood up on that stage, and said one lie after another, but it was about. Biden performance that you care about the most, one side told the truth with facts, the Republican just gave opinions.
@@alext8828 Kool Aid is delivered by a cult leader, right? Let's see... Google says cult leaders use:
Exploitation: They may exploit their followers financially, sexually, or emotionally.
Unconventional beliefs: They may hold beliefs that are not based in reality.
Sense of importance: They may have an inflated sense of their own importance and connection to greatness.
Demand loyalty: They may demand absolute loyalty and unquestioning devotion to their beliefs and demands.
Sense of entitlement: They may expect to be treated as special at all times.
Antisocial tendencies: They may share characteristics that make up the diagnostic definition of antisocial personality disorder, such as a predisposition for dominance and aggression.
If you don't see that those points line up with a person you know and love, Donald John Trump, you're delusional.
@jackharper8307 OMG, I had a good laugh because of your comment. I needed that. Thanks. 😂👍🏼
@@johnperkins5450 so his lies entertained you, that is something to laugh about at.
I don't know why they think the subsidy issues is a winning argument. Companies give rebates and coupons all the time. Should I not buy cereal just because I have a coupon?
And also they did financing deals, some even at 0% interest. You know it's not easy selling cars produced with yesterday's technology.
Every gas car on the road is subsidized and have been for decades. $5/gallon gas would easily be $10+/gallon without taxpayer subsidies. EVs are much less subsidized than gas cars.
All oil and gas companies are heavily subsidized, if they weren't all of us would be driving EVs by now.
Congress has been subsidizing the oil industry for decades
I’d love to see Buttigieg debate Trump, he made this guy look foolish.
i thought the same thing
How? By lying?
@@RealTalkLaughsName one lie, troll
The big lie is that EV’s save lives by preventing pollution.
I would rather have dental work than watch even one more minute of Trump spouting his lies and cockamamie ideas.
I love watching Pete Buttigieg shut everyone of these idiots down with facts!😂
Me Too 💙
I wouldn’t call it “All hell breaking loose”. It was a calm conversation and Pete schooled him.
You forgot what govt is supposed to be like 😅
it must have been way back in the day old farts objected to those damn horseless carriages making all that damn smoke and noise, and you couldn't find a gas station anywhere!!
They would run on Kerosene or moonshine if the couldn't find gasoline.
@@wysetech2000which lessened the life of your car
Same guys!
That's why the most successful early town cars in Europe and America,
owned by the wealthy were electric .. the fuel engines kept catching fire were dirty and kept breaking down... and still use the same kind of batteries.
Still the same, the first vehicle to exceed 100km ph/ 60mph was electric.
Early cars had ranges measured in tens of miles. I'm positive the arguments back then would have included things like "My horse can walk all day."
Whoa!! Where and how do these people get elected to congress? And to think he's on the cybersecurity committee! God help us.
As we know ignorant people can elect ignorant candidates. Trump being an example.
He seems like the kind of guy who's still running Windows 7 and has his password on a sticky note taped to his monitor
This committee was CLUELESS! Go Pete!
Buttigieg 2028 and prefer 2024!
WAY TO GO, PETE!! YOU ARE AMAZING AND I HOPE YOU SERVE IN GOVENMENT FOR "A VERY LONG TIME❤".
Republicans could just drop the subsidy of EVs. Also, stop subsidizing coal, Boeing, soy farmers, chicken farmers, beef ranchers and banks.
Not to mention the $100 billion a year in military expenditures we spend to keep the Strait of Hormuz open...
Sure become Amish like you?
Indeed
And oil companies don't need subsidies either
US subsidizes the petroleum industry somewhere in the range of 20 billion per year.
Mayor Pete is such an intelligent, well spoken leader. Americans should be proud to have him working on our behalf. Mayor Pete shoud be the Democrats POTUS candidate.
That is just it. He is a well spoken BSer. Did you see the debate? That is the WHOLE Democratic Party and they are now going to be flushed down the toilet with their BS policies
I agree 1000%
Yes!! He is a Rhodes Scholar and a Harvard Grad. He’s smarter and more well read than anyone commenting here.
For sure... he would be a great pick for POTUS.
Ohio and Pennsylvania will probably never forgive him for not reinstating regs that led to the train disaster in East palestine, Ohio.
Just seeing him turn redder and redder as the conversation continues is telling
When things get tough, I admit my time has expired. Oh, I got a run like hell.
What a waste of time for everyone.
All hell breaks loose? There was no sparring, Pete obliterated this unprepared joker. When are they going to learn Pete isn't there to play.
"Well, the subsidy makes them more affordable and helps people buy them. That's true." Got em
These are the kinds of elected officials running the country; "Did you take into consideration the loss of oil dollars if we as politicians would lose if we push EV?" Embarrassing
True
This Burilson guy is completely clueless
He's a republic.an - whaddya expect
Your clueless
Fits right in on that side of the aisle doesn't he?
They're all clueless...
@@adamweingart7570 you're
Pete Buttigieg and Jasmine Crockett, please start a Debate College for Democrats. You guys know your facts cold and deliver them in an iron glove. We need EVERY good politician to come armed with the skills your present every time you speak.
Burlison is obviously not an intellectual match for Pete.
Nor is he an intellectual match for a Shipworm.
Very few are. And preparation is key.
Loved the stranded family part. It's dangerous for both to stop running. 😂😂😂
But you can still unlock a gasoline vehicle, not a dead electric vehicle! They don’t spontaneously explode like batteries do!
They are also unable to be moved or towed unless you can get inside and figure how to get the vehicle in neutral which can be impossible in some models!
@@Angela-iv7qyYou’re expressly thinking of Teslas, to which that brand would be the last EV I would ever consider. GM EVs still have a mechanical key that slides out of the fob. Context is everything.
Teslas do have a backup mechanical handle, but only in the front seats
@@Angela-iv7qy a simple google search: "According to a 2023 report from the MSB, electric vehicles (EVs) have averaged about 20 fires per year over the last three years, out of about 611,000 EVs. In comparison, fuel-powered cars, which number about 4.4 million, have had about 3,400 fires during the same time period. However, some say that when looking at the numbers as a percentage, EVs are actually less likely to catch fire than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. For example, research from EV Fire Safe suggests that passenger EVs have a 0.0012% chance of catching fire, while ICE vehicles have a 0.1% chance. A study by AutoinsuranceEZ found that EVs have 25.1 fires per 100,000 sales, while gas-powered vehicles have 1,529.9 fires per 100,000 sales. Tesla also claims that the number of fires involving their vehicles on US roads from 2012 to 2021 was 11 times lower per mile than all other cars."
@@Angela-iv7qy the gasoline vehicle also started out with some kinks.
That man asking is LAUGHABLE. QUESTIONS ARE IGNORAMUS.
Transportation Secretary always has facts to dispel these electric vehicle lies.
ev fires do take considerably more water and time to put out. they do shift dependence on opec for fossil fuels to dependence on china for batteries. those aren't lies; even if the guy stating them is probably a fossil fuel shill who's pointing out the downsides for the wrong reasons.
they're also more dangerous to work on because touching the wrong part isn't just a burn but can mean instant death by electrocution, which means training mechanics will be more expensive. they're heavier than ICEs of the same class, so their braking distances and impact velocities are greater, making them harder to stop and more deadly in a crash.
america has a problem with car-centric infrastructure and ev's are like a band-aid on cancer. they have some upsides, but what america needs is fewer cars, more walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, and more trains. we don't need everyone to go out and buy a bunch of expensive new stuff (and send their still functional old stuff to the dump) to fix pollution when pollution is only one of the myriad things wrong with car-centric infrastructure.
What does a Rep from Missouri know about EV's...evidently nothing!
He knows that it'll hurt his sponsers who sell oil.
Can anyone catch me up? I just came from watching Eric Burlison's comments to the committee to save horse and carriages.
EPIC!
“This guy is too good. I’m leaving now!”
Go Pete!
These Republicans are a piece of work. Such stupid and ridiculous questions. Mr. Buttigieg handled that brilliantly. Bless him.
House Transportation is the mule and Pete is the motivator…
“How many of them were purchased by the government?”
“Approximately 0.5%.”
“The only reason people are buying them is because of the subsidy.”
“Well, the subsidy makes them more affordable and helps people buy them, that’s true.”
“Um, I believe my time is up.”
Pete was being deceptive in his answer of .05% being bought by FEDERAL Gov. How many State and Municipalities have bought EV's because they were given grants from the Feds? A LOT! Electric busses bought that don't work and the company has now gone bankrupt so they can't be repaired.
He said 80% of EV's are being charged at home...OK! But people who have that option are a small slice of the motoring public, so what's going to happen to all of the people who don't have that option? They must rely on public charging which is totally inadequate and while Pete said 'we've doubled the number of chargers'....they need 100X or more of what exist today.
And...he didn't explain where all the power is supposed to come from to charge all the EV's if they flood the market with them? We're not building Base Generation and 'wind and solar' isn't going to cut it. You can't force a switch over to EV's quickly without the supporting infrastructure which doesn't exist now or for the foreseeable future. They're forcing companies to mass produce EV's that aren't selling and costing them BILLIONS of dollars to build vehicles that people won't buy. It's lunacy.
@@recoilrob324 electric car sales in the U.S. have increased dramatically over the past 5 years, mirroring trends around the world. People like to save money on gas. And the cost of production is gradually closing in on ICE vehicles, as the technology improves.
The rest of your points are mainly about infrastructure. There aren’t enough charging stations. Sure, and at one time the road system for cars was patchy and unreliable. We didn’t tell people to go back to riding horses. The road system improved because there was no choice. Cars were here to stay.
Brilliant.
@@recoilrob324 If you don't have the option to home charge don't buy an electric car. Which bit of that doesn't make sense?
@@chrismoore7606 Tell that to the government.....have you seen what they want? They want to ban ICE and force EVERYONE into EV's. We're saying that they won't work for the majority of people being that most don't have home charging as an option. And...the grid won't handle that many vehicles either. Pretty simple.
I would not debate Pete cause I'm that smart !!
Pete is the Face of the Future ❤😊
Love Where were going in the USA !!
He thought he was going to trip him up. He got served by facts.
Pete, you too good. Take that you crazy republican. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh Petey
Gotta watch to the end. Just excellent. Make this man Sec of State! Pete!
Painful to watch a system forced to entertain the eating of itself.
Right on , Well Said.

My battery on my gas powered truck died the other day. Wtf is he talking about???
Is it difficult to jump start your gas-powered truck? Ever try that with an EV?
@@johnnynick6179 Modern EVs like Ionic 5 or the Cybertruck have vehicle to load and can give power to other EVs

I don't think so.
Keep your crap EV. I'll stick with an ICE vehicle.
@@johnnynick6179 How do you think the landscape looked like when we transitioned from horse carriages to cars? Transitions pose challenges. They will be overcome, adjustments will be made. It is called progress. Look at how TVs, phone looked 40 years ago and now. Look at what EVs could do 20 years ago and where they are now. No need to panic, you will be alright.
@@johnnynick6179 If an EV needs a jump start for the 12V battery, then it happens the same way as you would jump start an ICE vehicle. So, if you are referring to the 12V battery dying, then you could be back on the road in minutes.

Open their eyes and their brain Pete, because they are hypocrites.
Wow. It was Eric's time, he was in complete control and Pete still took him to the woodshed.
one word: #DESTROYED and not a vulgar word. 😉 you will always be my hero, pete. you are awesome!
These tools will be carrying water for the fossil fuel industry when the planet is on fire.
One of the best one-line remarks I've heard.

Thank you Secretary Pete! Keep digging up these fossilized excuse peddlers and bring them onboard.

Charging stations are being vandalized for the copper in in hoses.
Please provide a source for that claim
I read about that too. So they won't last long out there, because they will get stolen. LoL how people haven't read about this yet is a mystery to me, that tells me they just consume what the fake news media tells them blindly..... so pitiful and pathetic.
Yep !!!
It's happening, but mostly because these are usually unattended.
They do need to shift to at least have some monitoring.
Build the charging station much like a truck stop with a 24/7 dinner so you can eat and do stuff while you wait to charge the car.
A lot of charge stations are like this but most are just empty parking lots tucked away in a corner.
That's just asking for trouble
True but the occurrence is still very low, because the thief realized how little copper actually contained in those cables. It's just not worth their time and risk for the little pay out.
This is too good!
I love Pete!! He'd make a great VP!! He brings a HUGE smile to this worried face! I'm so glad he's there!
That Pete is so quick 😆 Folks need to do their homework and research a week before Pete is in the building. Soo good
When the automobiles first came out there was a problem of not enough gas stations and roads were dirt. Naysayers never win.

Currently, most lithium is extracted from hard rock mines or underground brine reservoirs, and much of the energy used to extract and process it comes from CO2-emitting fossil fuels. Particularly in hard rock mining, for every tonne of mined lithium, 15 tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the air.
So if the objective is to lower CO2 emissions this would be the worst way to do it, correct? and yet still these woke leftist believe that they can deceive us, us being the people that do not take anything at face value and know how to do their own research to get the facts and the science behind it...... but what can I say, what can you expect form the woke left that up to last week Presidential debate, truly believed that Biden, was in great health, physically and mentally, in the best time of his life, sharp as a pencil...... which we have been saying he is not ever since he was VP under Osamabama......? go figure.
Do you have any idea how much CO2 is emitted over the lifetime of a car burning fossil fuels? Lithium mining does not come close, and will ultimately be recycled. I guarantee, not one litre of fuel has ever been recycled.
Sec. Buttigieg cool under fire ALWAYS‼️Amazing and brilliant‼️TY for yr dedication to the American people!
Tell by the look on his face after he said My time has expired...he knew he was defeated and looked stupid.....
These Republicans holy show how simple they are just like they’re supporters
He is so smart and quick on his feet. He demolishes them.
Luv it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Sir Pete 👍🏼💙🇺🇸
Pete is so smart! I love that he can calmly set the record straight.
when i was at school many many years ago i used to wonder where all the thick people went and what jobs they had ,Congress folks Congress
Man, these people make it so easy for Pete.
I love that Pete made it about air pollution and the human cost that poses right now. People are much more receptive to that message.
I can think of many issues with EV’s, but none of them were mentioned which is kinda sad. I’m of the opinion that EV’s must be the future and the faster we can help people transition and the cheaper we can make the cars and the more chargers we can get out and the faster we can charge the batteries, etc etc, the better off all of us will be. It’s time to get rid of air pollution once and for all.
Pete is such a good a great communicator. He also knows his stuff. I absolutely enjoy watching him demolish the opposition.
Bam!
Pete Butigieg knocked out Burlison so badly it was embarrassing and great when he was exposed with the facts 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 love Pete 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 we need more like him 👌
When will they learn that Pete isn’t someone you can push over on with a weak argument. Guy comes ready and will shut you down when your points are not valid and prove nothing in general! Guy is a master class in being better informed and on point with facts not sad gotcha heartbeat stories. 😂
LOL the library is open Pete Buttigieg read Eric Burlison. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I was in China in the early 1980's There were few cars and almost no gas stations. If you compare 1983 China to China today, you will find millions of cars, and fueling stations everwhere. China and India are making significant investments in electric charging infrastructure which means they will soon be leading the world in EV production and renewable technology.
The US meanwhile is hanging on to an industry that's already heavily subsidized by the US government (fossil fuels) and much of our traditional gas-powered automobile industry doesn't even make their vehicles here. This whole line of questioning was a giant "pander" to the Oil and Gas industry and it's shameful.
Now that was humiliating and I’m here for it. The man who insisted on facts didn’t know any!! Professor Pete strikes again. He is my kind of leader.
#ButtigiegForVP 🎉
Wow love this guy. Send Pete to Australia
They love to see their faces of screen, independently that they say false statements, support lies, and act very irresponsibly with the power given to them to be TRUTHFUL and HONEST with their Constituents!!
Anecdotal story here. Last fall I bought a new Bolt EUV for less than $22,000 after federal and state rebates, taxes, licenses, etc. I have never charged it anywhere but my garage which is super slick and I am saving about $100 a month at the pump compared to my electric bill. As a bonus it is by far the smoothest and quietest car I have owned. I live in a red area and the amount of misinformation I encounter is astounding.
Pete knows what he’s talking about, who ever goes up against him , looks and sounds stupid.💙💙
Pete - President Pete will be great - perhaps vp... That is the type of new age leadership we are lacking! Way to GO Mr. PETE
Buttigieg!!!
People get locked into conventional cars all the time.
I believe the kids are now calling this”getting served”!
Every-single-time they try and trip up Pete he calmly buries them in facts to prove his case.
Go Pete!! Way to counter his crazy talk 👍
it took me 30 seconds to look up the Jennifer Granholm incident where he said a child was sick and 911 was called. BIG LIE. the family called the police because they wanted to use the charging station and the team was holding it for the electric car on the way. LIARS LIARS LIARS
Pete is such a bad ass. These other suits look like idiots next to him.
