The greenest member of Congress schools Buttigieg in math, economics, and common sense.

“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicle,” Buttigieg said.

“So you’re saying the more pain we have, the more benefit we’re gonna get?” Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., asked. “I think that’s what I heard you say.” Buttigieg emphasized, “Of course – no, no, that’s what you heard me say. I know you want me to say it so bad but honestly, sir, what we’re saying is we could have no pain at all by making EVs cheaper for everyone.”

Rep. Thomas Massie dropped a common sense truth bomb on Buttigieg because um, what?! Math and economics“It would take four times as much electricity to charge the average household’s cars as the average household uses on air conditioning.

Imagine how much more we would pay for electricity if we all had to have electric cars. Now imagine how much more we would have to pay if they placed a tax on the electricity usage for the cars. Or they’ll tax you for the mileage you use.: "The average household uses 1,870 kWh/year for air conditioning. If that average household plugged in electric cars…it would take FOUR TIMES as much electricity to charge the average household's cars as the average household uses on air conditioning.
