Expert's EV Warning: 'One of The Biggest Energy Policy Blunders We've Ever 
Made'

Energy experts are warning about numerous potential issues for electric 
vehicles, including affordability, range, weather, infrastructure, and economic 
concerns, even as the government and car companies increasingly push them on 
Americans. [emphasis, links added]

Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer and host of the podcast "The 
Wright Report," told Fox News Digital that American society has shifted to EVs 
largely because some people are "just so hell-bent on making sure that this 
transition happens, even if that means wrecking the economy, in terms of 
electricity, its reliability, the grid, getting brownouts or blackouts or 
economic wreckage by people who otherwise can't afford these new vehicles."

"That cost is being shouldered by buyers and car companies by raising the price 
of gas-powered vehicles, [which] is basically just a direct wealth transfer, 
just paying for EV subsidies and that will grow over time, if we continue to 
keep this regime in place," Brent Bennett, a policy director for Life:Powered, 
an initiative of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, told Fox News Digital.

California, Wright said, is likely a "really sad test case" for what the rest 
of the country could face, where he said it currently costs about $250 an hour 
to service an EV.

The state has made a strong push for EVs under Gov. Gavin Newsom, and 
Californians will by 2035 not be allowed to buy new gas-powered cars and light 
trucks.

"Some of those expenses are going to come down because you're going to find 
manufacturing efficiencies and you're going to be able to lower the cost of 
that product," Wright said.

"But as of this moment, with all the push, it is a wealth transfer from people 
who have their current gas vehicles to an EV. I don't know if that's going to 
be the case in 10 or 20 years, but what we see in California is because of some 
of these dirty green policies."

Bennett discussed the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs, which he said "is one 
small part of the whole equation" when it comes to what the government is doing 
to subsidize EV production.

"We calculated that if you add on the socialized infrastructure costs, and 
then, in particular, add on California's zero-emission vehicle mandate, which 
adds cost to all of us because the automakers have to pay to produce more EVs 
in California, and they spread that cost to the whole country, the federal fuel 
economy regulations alone are subsidizing each EV by about $20,000. Add all 
this together, and each EV is getting almost $50,000 in subsidies," he said.

As a result of these policies, many Californians' utilities have gone up, which 
Wright said is only going to continue hurting the lower and middle classes the 
most.

"The burden of this revolution is it is fundamentally a tax on the working 
class and the middle class ... a lot of folks struggling in those two worlds 
and it really is unfair to a lot of the working folks in this country," he 
said.

If we continue on the current path, Wright warned of a tremendous amount of 
economic wreckage in many parts of the country, as well as the world, because 
infrastructure just cannot support these government mandates. 

"At some point, we're going to face this issue of, we don't have the charging 
infrastructure, we don't have enough electricity overnight, we're going to have 
to adjust unless we want to crash the global economy," he said.

Jason Isaac, a senior fellow with Life:Powered, said EVs have been pitched as a 
"gadget" through powerful marketing, but argued people are now rethinking their 
decisions after hearing stories about their unreliability.

The main reasons are attributable to what he calls "range anxiety," the lack of 
charging infrastructure, as well as the high cost of the EVs themselves.

Wright explained how charging and the three different levels of electricity 
available for EVs complicate the experience for EV owners. 

Level one, for example, is what you plug into your wall at home, while level 
three chargers which are the most powerful, can only be found at the equivalent 
of a gas station.

Level two chargers can be installed in a home, but they cost about $2,000 to 
$4,000 to install and don't include the cost of fuel, Wright said.

Level 3 chargers, in contrast, are expensive and require significant 
infrastructure, making them "incredibly difficult" or "impossible" to 
conveniently build throughout rural America, he said.

He also warned that people who can charge their EV with a plug-in installed in 
their home will still likely face high electricity bills.

"You're plugging it in, but you've got an electricity bill, and the cost of 
that is really going to be dependent on where in the country you are," he said. 
"You might have very cheap power with nuclear power or hydropower, or you can 
have very expensive power with solar and wind."

Also, those who charge their EVs at home tend to use them between the hours of 
10 p.m. and 6 a.m. when there simply isn't enough electricity to go around, 
which could result in the electricity grid crashing, Wright said.

Bennett said the "socialized costs of electricity" pose a problem, especially 
when an EV charging overnight consumes as much power as three to four homes.

In a neighborhood of 80 homes, where everyone has an EV and all of them are 
charging at the same time, it would be the equivalent of adding four times as 
many homes to the neighborhood, likely exceeding the neighborhood's available 
electrical load.

"Now imagine, instead of over eight hours, you're trying to charge in 30 
minutes on a fast charger," he said. "Well, now you're talking about that EV 
alone drawing as much power from the grid as a small grocery store. You put 
four of those together at a Tesla supercharging station, you're talking as much 
power as a Walmart, so you have to upgrade your electrical infrastructure, your 
transmission and distribution infrastructure to support that."

Bennett argued that there are some instances where EVs work well, like as a 
commuter car, but in a lot of ways, he said they aren't practical for the 
average American.

9 Reasons Why Narcissists Are Considered To Be Lazy
Written by Nikola Stavrovskiin Overcome Laziness

Since narcissists have complex personalities, many people are trying to 
understand their behavior and how they feel about working hard and not being 
lazy.

That's why today we are going to talk about how lazy are narcissists and what 
actually causes their laziness.
Are Narcissists Really Lazy

Narcissists can be considered lazy since they don't usually function like 
others. They often crave to be praised all the time and they have excessive 
self-importance. Feeling excessively entitled, narcissists will not work with 
just anything. Since they believe that they are better than others, it will be 
hard to make them work.

Why Narcissists Can Be Lazy

1. Has an Excessive Need to be Admired

Narcissistic individuals need to be admired and praised all the time. They want 
to always be the center of attention or they will feel ignored. If this occurs, 
the person who suffers from narcissism will lose interest in working on their 
tasks. They will feel lazy to work because they don't feel appreciated.

2. They Suffer from Grandiosity

Feeling superior to everyone, a narcissistic person tends to break the rules. 
They believe in the fantasy that they are special. The exaggerated feeling of 
self-importance made them crave special treatment. They believe that they have 
unlimited power, success, beauty, intelligence, and love. Working menial tasks 
are not for them.

3. They Can Be Very Superficial

When it comes to dealing with relationships, they can be very superficial. They 
will not respect someone who doesn't qualify with their expectations. 
Narcissists believe that they are the best even if other successful people 
around them are more competent. They can always see the flaws of other people 
around them.

4. Feel the Need to Exploit Others

Instead of building better relationships, narcissistic people like to exploit 
others. The person has to possess something that can provide what they need. 
Narcissists will be with the people who they can use to their advantage. It's 
more important to them than to build a meaningful friendship.

5. They are Lacking Empathy

Narcissists don't feel bad if they cause pain to others. The lack of empathy 
for other people is just normal for them. These types of people don't care if 
they are already being a burden to others. If they don't feel like working, 
they don't care even if others are having a hard time.

6. Suffering from Disturbed Identity

Narcissists are lazy because their sense of self is fragile. They need to be 
treated as special to have the ability to work. Without praising them, it will 
be hard for them to deal with their tasks. Even if they think highly of 
themselves, it can easily be threatened.

7. Attachment Issues and Dependency

People who suffer from narcissism are very dependent on the feedback of people 
around them. If they don't get the attention they need, they can crumble 
easily. They will lose interest in their tasks at hand if nobody cheers them up 
and tells them how important they are.

8. Chronic Boredom and Feeling of Emptiness

It happens when narcissistic people don't have people who praise them all the 
time. They will feel bored easily and even feel empty. It can lead to 
depression which makes them avoid work. They will lose interest when nobody 
gives them the excessive attention they need.

9. They are Vulnerable to Changes

Due to their feeling of grandeur, narcissists have a hard time with changes. 
Although change is guaranteed, it will make it impossible to deal with their 
new life. It can compromise the role that they have to play. They are scared of 
changes because it's unfamiliar which makes them feel threatened.
Conclusion

So, are narcissists lazy? Yes, they are because they are suffering from a 
personality disorder. The best way to deal with it is to seek treatment such as 
psychotherapy. It will help the sufferer of this disorder and make it possible 
for them to live a happy and normal life.
