Kobayashi Maru Scenario on EV Transition & Renewable Energy ft Tesla's CyberCab To Have Wireless Charging?
This hearing copies many ideas previously published by Chris Edwards; if not every issue he has previously covered since 2009 at TeslaLeaks.com
The Senate hearing on the EV Transition and Renewable Energy should have been called the "Kobayashi Maru". The un-winnable scenario. How do gas stations intend on beating Tesla, who has a motor that last indefinitely, a battery that lasts for millions of miles, can be 100% recyclable, needs no regular maintenance, has the lowest maintenance costs and can be charged for pennies on the dollar?

I called Tesla Motors in 2012, prior to the launch of the Tesla Model S, and asked them if they knew about Nikola Tesla's Wireless Power Transmission. They laughed, and hung-up the phone. Since then, Tesla has spoken exactly Zero, Cero, Nada, 0.00, about wireless charging for vehicles. Even worse, Elon Musk, the Tesla Community, nor their Stockholders have ever mentioned wireless charging to moving vehicles, nor have they mentioned their proper efficiency 92-98%+ efficient (more efficient than a wire and 1/4 the cost of maintaining today's roads), nor do they give credit to Nikola Tesla for anything. They give credit to the "Aliens from Planet Plypton" - Alex Jones/Sci-Fi Channel.
It's most likely they are dopes because they are ex-NASA, SpaceX (Space Not) and Space Farce employees who think they are going to "Mars" and going to be Super-Genius's by implanting a fake-news robot in their brain. Just like Musk, Trump & Biden, the robot is going to be Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein Worshippers. Not sure? Just ask Grok. Ask Grok "Is Gravity a Force" or "Is There Thrust In A Vacuum". Answer: No & No. - Wikipedia. This new system is going to be a nightmare with all the dopes, stooges and fake-news robots in charge. However, since this publication is going to be sent to all the U.S. senators, the panelists and my 20,000 subscribers with 4,000 news stations, maybe they'll get to a plan that will actually work. They should cite my future posts, Renewables 2025, Infinite Abundance Part 2 & Master Plan Part 4.20.
A perfect use case for wireless EV charging (stationary or moving) is autonomous vehicles. It wouldn’t make sense to have an autonomous vehicle that a human must plug in to charge. As the Deplorables will just destroy the system, cut the wires, or the Eco-Terrorists will set it on fire. If Tesla was to use an Optimus Bot, the Deplorables would just destroy the Bot. The autonomous vehicle parking itself on a wireless EV charging pad (or embedded in the road) would be much better, in keeping with the spirit of automation and efficiency that autonomous vehicles promise to the automotive industry. Wireless charging for motors has been around since 1895, demonstrated and pictured at Nikola Tesla's NY lab on 33rd st. before his lab burns to the ground. Tesla blamed "Edison's Men" (JP Morgan/GE). Wireless charging began in ernest over 100 years later at the Department of Energy, MIT and elsewhere around 2007-2009; using Nikola Tesla's patents at the patent office. ORNL has focused on Wireless Power Transmission for onboard vehicle battery charging since 2008. https://www.ornl.gov/content/vehicle-charging-goes-wireless
MIT has been working on Wireless transfer of electric power since 2007 https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/51595 https://www.technologyreview.com/2009/06/22/212459/intels-wireless-power-play/
(SNIP) The idea of wireless power transfer is, of course, not new. Physicist Nikola Tesla proposed it in the late 19th century. However, funding for his projects ran out at about the same time that the modern world decided to take a wired approach. And for more than a century, wires have done the job well enough. But with the advent of portable electronics that seem to need constant charging, wireless electricity is coming back in style, and researchers are exploring ways to make it practical.
However, MIT has to cite over 9 patents of Nikola Tesla's in order to make their system work. November 8th 2018 Wireless non-radiative energy transfer - Witricity (2006-2021) https://patents.google.com/patent/US10666091B2/ https://patents.google.com/patent/US9698607B2/
Tesla CyberCab w/ Wireless Charging
Electric road. An electric road, eroad, e-roadway, or electric road system (ERS) is a road which supplies electric power to vehicles travelling on it. Common implementations are overhead power lines above the road, ground-level power supply through conductive rails, and dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) through resonant inductive coils or inductive rails embedded in the road. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_road
Tesla appeared to have purchased one of those companies, the German firm Wiferion, in 2023, hinting that the automaker was moving ahead with plans to offer wireless charging for its vehicles. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1140376_wireless-tesla-ev-charging-german-firm

July 27th 2024 Oak Ridge Sets a New Record for Wireless EV Charging. ORNL's zippy prototype delivered 270 kilowatts to a Porsche Taycan charging from 10 percent to 80 percent in less than 20 minutes. The Oak Ridge system pairs a magnetic resonance transmitter pad with a receiver mounted to the underside of the car. The system’s secret sauce is its polyphase windings—lightweight electromagnetic coils arranged over a coil to generate a rotating magnetic field that eliminates current ripples and field cancellation (creating a standing wave, at 90 degrees perpendicular to the surface of the coil while maximizing the zero point energy transfer to between 90-99% efficiency). [Ed Note: Simply put, an alternating current flowing through an induction coil creates a changing magnetic field (also called a “B-field”), and if you put a different coil (like one attached to a car battery) in that B-field, the first coil’s magnetic field induces a current in the car’s coil, charging the battery. -DT]. “We’re also working with Volkswagen on developing a polyphase system for residential charging applications and collaborating on the development of a lightweight enclosure design that will improve mechanical, electrical, thermal and magnetic performance,” said Omar Onar, ORNL’s power electronics research lead. “Our goal is to mature the technology so that it’s ready for deployment in production vehicles.” https://spectrum.ieee.org/wireless-ev-charging-2668791896

According to a January 2023 report by McKinsey, “by 2035, autonomous driving could create $300 billion to $400 billion in revenue.” The report also says: “autonomous driving could produce substantial value for drivers, the auto industry, and society.” A perfect use case for wireless EV charging is autonomous vehicles. It wouldn’t make sense to have an autonomous vehicle that a human must plug in to charge.

July 8th 2024 Dynamic Wireless Inductive Charging For Electric Vehicles (EVs). Magnetic resonance wireless power transfer (WPT) uses induction charging with a pad on the ground and a receiver on the vehicle that is tuned to the same frequency. The DOE and ORNL are working to advance dynamic wireless EV charging to make EV use more convenient, cost-effective for consumers, and viable at highway speeds. The goal is to integrate high-efficiency wireless charging technology with the nation’s power grid and maintain charging power for high-speed applications. Even Tesla has shown interest in wireless charging technology. Pilot projects are currently underway, with trials focusing on both passenger and commercial vehicles. Standardization efforts by SAE International are also underway, which could further boost dynamic wireless charging adoption. https://www.greenlancer.com/post/dynamic-wireless-charging-electric-vehicles

Charging Ahead: The Future of Electric Vehicle
U.S. Senate Hearing over the EV Transition & Renewable Energy
This hearing copies many ideas previously published by Chris Edwards; if not every issue he has previously covered since 2009. The hearing should have been called the Kobayashi Maru". The un-winnable scenario. How do gas stations intend on beating Tesla, who has a motor that last indefinitely, a battery that lasts for millions of miles, can be fully recyclable, needs no maintenance and can be charged for pennies on the dollar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobayashi_Maru In coincidence theory, this hearing was held on July 31st 2024, where immediately following, the stock markets dropped 5%-12%. This is called a "stupid tax". A tax on the people still funding oil, gas, propane and coal. Given that it's well known that renewable energy is far cheaper and longer lasting than fossil fuels. "You can burn all the gas, oil, coal and trees in the world, but Niagara Falls will last forever" - Nikola Tesla, 1896. Furthermore, at the end of the hearing, the question is asked "how much money do we need to throw at EV's and Renewables". The answer. It doesn't matter. The benefits of The benefits of clean air, (2) clean water, and clean roads, as well as the cost savings is 10X more beneficial. That's besides EV's being 40X more efficient than gas, 10X safer, 5X longer lasting, 4X cheaper to fuel and no maintenance. EV's will win by atrition. Meaning, for every 1 Tesla sold, 5 gas cars are going to the junk yard. The only reason why they are using natural gas for electrical generation is because they have over-capacity of natural gas, the highest since 2016, where the suppliers are selling it at negative prices and can give it away virutally for free.
However, the reason why they call natural gas a "bridge fuel" is because you need to build a hundred bridges, railways and roads to get the fuel to the customer. Renewables can be built on-site. No bridges needed. You're only being charged a price "at the pump". The rests of the cost of bringing fossil fuels to your house, is put on the taxpayer.

Multiple members repeated similar sentiments and questions on different topics within the EV conversation, but the primary topics included the following:
- EV Subsidies
“How Come We Have to Pay People to Drive Them?”: Kennedy Goes Hard Grilling Witnesses About EVs
A better question would be, who's going to apologize for the 200M deaths and 1 Billion injuries from wars for oil. Just like the Covid Vaccines run by Rockefeller Oil, 100M deaths and 500M injuries. Sorry. No Apologies. "We need to take the oil, and take the money too". - Donald Trump. Like the fossil fuel magnets that have a $1B/yr anti-EV fund; the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) during the years of what prominent “truthers“ still call “the pandemic”, while they continue to keep quiet about the censorship of a fellow investigational thinker and truth teller, Mike Yeadon.
Tesla pundits are incorrect to think that EV's do not need subsidies. Tax credits mind you. The Government is robbing you as it is. You now owe $35T to the Federal Reserve, plus Interest. Less "taxes" just means they'll print more fiat currency. And, your not going to pay that anyway. Everyone knows oil, gas, coal, ethanol, biodiesel... all get a combined $7 Trillion per year in free money, limited risk and immunity. - IMF/ World Bank. So much so, the $1T U.S. Military is used to protect oil fields. You ever heard of a U.S. troop protecting a solar panel or lithium salt flat? Keep dreaming. https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2023/08/24/fossil-fuel-subsidies-surged-to-record-7-trillion
This petro-chemical system has been in place for over 100 years, getting 100's of Trillions of subsidies; where every Gas Station is a Super-Fund site, that requires $1M just to clean up the poison on-site. The entire system based on gas cars is pure junk. Every plug in your home could have been an EV charging outlet, every Light Pole, Vehicle to Vehicle Charging, Wireless Charging Roads, etc. was available 100 years ago. Nikola Tesla Wireless EV Charging To Moving Vehicles Coming to US https://teslaleaks.com/f/nikola-tesla-wireless-ev-charging-to-moving-vehicles-coming-to-us
The 20 industries Tesla could destroy, are going to need to be bailed-out as well. The entire system needs to be replaced. That means, subsidies and support; as opposed to the road blocks, tarriffs etc. put in front of EV's and renewable energy.

- Highway Trust Fund impacts
Cited below. 78% of roads are broken by oil and gas tanker trucks. Not EV's. EV's didn't even exist, while gas cars were breaking the roads for 100+ years.
- Legislation and federal funding for EVs

Trump's Response: More Anti-EV Bullshit
"They don't drive far". "They are expensive". 300-600 miles isn't enough? How about 1000 Miles? EV's are at price parity to ICE cars; while EV prices are dropping and ICE car prices are rising. It's well known that the gas and maintenance savings of a Tesla, pays off the car in just 10 years. A "free car" is "Expensive"?

By May 2024, that gap had actually widened: used EVs were over $2,600 cheaper than gas cars. https://www.greencars.com/news/used-evs-are-now-cheaper-than-used-gas-cars
President Donald Trump has threatened to repeal Biden’s EV policies. He has often spewed lies that “EVs don’t go far enough. They’re very, very expensive. They’re also heavy.” He’s doubled down on his commitment to “drill, baby, drill.” Lately, he's dialed back some of his criticism amid burgeoning support from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, but it's considered highly unlikely that Trump will keep EV sales and industry subsidies going.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa is the Fake-News Front-Man for the Oil and Gas:
"The Biden-Harris administration’s unattainable goal of 50 percent new EV sales by 2030 has been on full display over the last four years."
Who says it's unattainable? Is it only unattainable because Tesla's are banned in 20 Republican States? Or, is it because Trump and Biden want to add 100-200% tarriffs on Chinese EV's?
"From imposing expensive EPA regulations"
Is it expensive (or impossible) to clean the petro-chemical waste out of your fracked water supplies? Is it expensive to recreate the Amazon Rainforest that's burnt down to produce Ethanol and Bio-Diesel? https://teslaleaks.com/f/biofuel-vs-food-eco-terrorists-protect-ethanol-block-lithium
"Doling out billions in EV subsidies for the rich"
A tax credit is a subsidy? That's a reduction in taxes, not a payment. Fossil Fuels get $7T per year in free money. Donald Trump and Alex Jones said they want EV subsides and Renewables subsides set to $0.00.
August 8th 2024 EV Sales Are Stalling. Tax Credits Are Part of the Problem. The EV tax credits, however, only cost the government about $1 billion in the first half of 2024, according to the Treasury Department. Ward suggests a 2009-style cash-for-clunkers incentive. People replacing an old, polluting car with an EV get a discount funded by the government. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ev-sales-are-stalling-tax-credits-are-part-of-the-problem/ar-AA1otcbx
"the economic detriment of America’s EV policy is quite evident."
You mean the economic detriment from wars for oil and the military protecting oil fields? Or does he mean that people who buy a Tesla aren't lining his pockets?
"But Iowans know that there are far more challenges to EV adoption than many care to admit." Iowa’s the number one producer of ethanol. We have 443,000 jobs in Iowa, and if we had every vehicle in the United States be EVs, you can see what that could do to those particular jobs that we created 40 years ago to produce a more environmentally-friendly product than petroleum.
That's because we will no longer need Iowa's corn to be turned into Ethanol and burnt in gas tanks. Clear cutting forests is not more environmentally friendly than petrolium.
"EVs best serve wealthier people who also live in, or near, suburban and urban areas."
Is that why China has just passed 50% EV penetration? They must all be rich in China. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-07/evs-hybrids-set-to-exceed-50-of-china-car-sales-for-first-time
"Perhaps the most prominent barrier to EV adoption is that EVs are uneconomical."
Gas at $10/gal is economical, but $1 an electric gallon is "uneconomical"
August 12th 2024 Does The Electricity For Electric Cars Cost Less Than Gasoline For Conventional Cars? Dig Into The Details https://cleantechnica.com/2024/08/12/does-the-electricity-for-electric-cars-cost-less-than-gasoline-for-conventional-cars-dig-into-the-details/
August 12th 2024 Estimates of EV Charging Costs vs. Gas Car Fueling Costs Are Misleading https://cleantechnica.com/2024/08/12/conversations-on-costs-of-ev-charging-vs-fueling-a-gas-car-are-misleading/
"CBO’s February baseline set the record straight, telling us that the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)’s EV handout would increase the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars."
But, in reality, less than $1B has been given out.
"Now, many [EVs] have had to be discounted because they haven’t been able to sell them."
Maybe you should ask the Federal Reserve, because no-one is buying anything. Housing is down 30%, Pools are down 30% and Car purchases are down 30%. Challenge of High Interest Rates Killing Clean Energy | Watch (msn.com)
"And I’ve yet to hear a comprehensive plan to make EV owners pay into the Federal Highway Trust Fund."
That's because the DOT admitted that 78% of the roads are broken by oil and gas tanker trucks. Not EV's. The oil and gas companies need to pay for 80% of the fund. The other 20% should be paid by consumers, where only 2% of that would be EV's.
"EV drivers are currently free-riding on the backs of the middle class, although some states have instituted an extra fee for so-called ‘fuel-efficient’ vehicles, making them even more expensive."
Gas companies are free-riding on the public, and gas companies lobby for extra fees for EV's. Putting all the costs on EV owners, which represent only 2% of the use of the roads.
"They include a lack of critical minerals needed to produce EVs, lack of transmission infrastructure needed to support their increased electricity demands and our current reliance on nefarious countries in the EV supply chain."
They lack critical minerals because Chevron, Alex Jones and Eco-Terrorists have been blocking Nuclear, Lithium, and all Renewables for over 120 years." https://teslaleaks.com/f/trumps-anti-ev-manifesto-is-the-same-as-the-eco-terrorists
"According to the University of Michigan, the world will need to mine 115 percent more copper from 2018 to 2050 than has been mined in all of human history up until 2018, just to do business as usual."
Big deal. Anaconda Copper has been stockpiling Copper, and do not have to tell the public, since the staged stock market crash of 1907.
"And, the EVs, they take three-to-five times as much copper as a standard vehicle."
Did he get the memo that Copper is 100% recyclable?
"I hope we discuss where these critical minerals for the so-called 'EV transition' will come from."
Do I need to make a list? Biden gave $1T in Lithium and $4T in Cobalt to China through Afghanistan
"And, we struggle to permit federal projects here in America."
Who's "We". He means "himself" and all his friends.
"From wind turbines, to transmission lines, to pipelines, to hard rock mines, left-wing environmentalists are holding up the permitting reform needed for the very EV expansion they claim [to value]."
He means the Government, Chevron and Eco-Terrorists, funded by oil and gas, hold up permitting for 10+ years or more. If that doesn't work, they'll send in the Taliban to blow up their dams or Alex Jones to block renewables in Nevada and Oregon.
"The left claims climate crisis but backs away from comprehensive reform when the environmental lobby comes calling."
Rockefeller Oil invented climate change, global warming, carbon taxes, carbon credits and smart cities. Not "the left". https://nurembergtrials.net/nuremberg-trials-2-0/f/rockefeller-funds-climate-change-carbon-taxes-capture-credits
"They also claim to care about air quality and 'environmental justice' but ignore the unreported and underreported particulate emissions from tires under the heavy weight of EVs."
EV's are now lighter than gas cars, have regenerative breaking, and save on the use of breaks and tires. The new EV batteries are 1/2 the weight and 2X the capacity. July 12th 2024 EVs Don’t Have To Go Through Tires Quickly Anymore. Hankook Tire knows this and backs its EV-specific tires with a 50,000-mile warranty against premature wear. https://insideevs.com/features/724810/ev-tire-wear-solution/
"As we grapple with environmental red tape, the Chinese are rapidly expanding coal power plants to fuel an EV manufacturing boom."
China has decommissioned 70.45 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired plants in the last decade, and is building far more renewable energy. Analysts say coal use may peak as soon as this year. Another bit of Alex Jones's fake-news about China's coal plants is about to bite-the-dust.
"We have the inconsistency of the rainforest being hacked away to mine nickel in Indonesia, we have the inconsistency of people in Congress who talk about, 'We need to stop the use of child labor around the globe,' and yet we have children mining cobalt in the Congo."
This is because the nickel in Indonesia can be enough to power the entire world, all by itself. And, children mining cobalt? 1/2 of Tesla's cars don't use Cobalt. Furthermore, it's Glencore, the coal miner, that was sued for enslaving children and poisoning Africa, not Tesla. Children doing work is not illegal. It's the same as Children working on farms, since the beginning of time. The government wants to ban work, so that your kids can be programmed by the communist schools, fake TV shows and video games until they are 30 years old.
"But this permitting process is halted by environmentalists not wanting to cut red tape here in Washington, D.C."
Let me get this straight. Eco-terrorist trying to protect a bug, that doesn't exist, runs Washington D.C. policy?
"And then you have the silly posture of the Inflation Reduction Act appropriating billions of dollars for charging stations. I guess, to date, we have about eight."
He means the $7.5 Billion stolen by his government, when less than $700M was given out for charging stations.
