Another example of why the opinions of these media darling 'experts' should be met with extreme skepticism.
So sorry to "mis-quote" you. I simply added the bolded adjective as my personal opinion.
These liars / scammers sell you their experts, then sell you their problems, then sell you their so-called solutions.
It's time to ignore them completely.

NO CHARGE Electric police cars struggling to reach emergencies without running out of power

Officers in rural areas cannot find charging points on patrol and are having to switch to petrol or diesel vehicles.

He added: “I’ve heard lots of problems with officers driving around in electric vehicles trying to find recharging facilities, running out of puff and then having to get another vehicle.

“Although I fully understand and support climate controls, my first priority is to fight crime.”

He said he agreed with switching to electric vehicles but went on: “We have the largest fleet by percentage size, and that has brought its problems.

"The design options available for electric vehicles for operational uses are not perhaps as advanced as I would like them to be.

"So, let's put it like this, I'm cautious about going any further down that road at this stage.

“If an officer is out on a road traffic accident and his lights are on, his radio is on, his heater is on, I would not want him to run out of power simply because he is in an electric car.”Fort

Pfizer Asks Court to Dismiss Whistleblower Lawsuit Because GOVERNMENT WAS AWARE OF FRAUD

There are times when defendants are forced to use strategies that expose others to wrongdoing. The case of Pfizer outing the U.S. government for their knowledge of wrongdoing is a doozy.

...

the lawyer representing whistleblower Brook Jackson said Pfizer is arguing the court should dismiss Jackson’s lawsuit alleging fraud in Pfizer’s COVID-19 clinical trials because the U.S. government knew about the wrongdoings but continued to do business with the vaccine maker.

A lawsuit filed by whistleblower Brook Jackson alleging Pfizer and two of its contractors manipulated data and committed other acts of fraud during Pfizer’s COVID-19 clinical trials is paused following a motion by the defendants to dismiss the case.

...

Jackson’s lawyer said Pfizer argued the lawsuit, which was filed under the False Claims Act, should be dismissed because the U.S. government knew of the wrongdoings in the clinical trials but continued to do business with the vaccine maker.

Under the False Claims Act, whistleblowers can be rewarded for confidentially disclosing fraud that results in a financial loss to the federal government.

Joe Biden has allowed FIVE MILLION barrels of oil from US national supply to be shipped abroad after claiming they'd be released to help lower soaring gas prices

Joe Biden has shipped five million barrels from the United States' Strategic Oil Reserve abroad, after claiming that releasing them would help ease Americans' pain at the pumps.

The president faces accusations of a sneaky sleight of hand as it was revealed that between a fifth and a sixth of the reserve oil he bragged about releasing to boost supply made its way offshore to Europe and Asia in June.

Biden authorized the release of a million barrels a day from April onwards. But his action has done little to combat soaring gas prices, with the national average sitting at $4.74 as of Tuesday - still far above the $2.28-a-gallon average from just before he took office.

Biden's announcement about releasing the oil barrels was made in April, and saw him say: 'These releases will put more than one million barrels per day on the market over the next six months, and will help address supply disruptions caused by Putin's further invasion of Ukraine and the Price Hike that Americans are facing at the pump.'

But it has had little effect, with a closer look at the press release revealing that the oil released from the strategic reserve was always destined for the highest bidder - even if they were overseas.

That is due to strict international rules dictating the sale and supply of oil - although a regular American who listened to Biden's proclamation in passing would likely have believed that the increase in supply would have been destined for domestic refineries, to lower US prices.

'Crude and fuel prices would likely be higher if (the SPR releases) hadn't happened, but at the same time, it isn't really having the effect that was assumed,' said Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at Kpler.

Biden aims to shutter largest oil field in U.S. amid record-high gas prices [Permian Basin, TX]

In retaliation against the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from forcibly shutting down America’s fossil fuel industry – at least to the degree and pace at which this is currently happening – the Biden regime is now threatening to close the country’s largest oil field.

According to reports, the EPA is readying itself to cite the Texas-based oil field, known as the Permian Basin, for supposedly violating “ozone pollution standards.” That citation could be the move that drives a final nail in the coffin of America’s last remaining traces of energy independence, which is exactly what the Biden regime wants to do.

“According to the Texas Governor’s Office, the proposed regulations will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically,” one report explains about the situation.

“This would be just one more move from Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden’s record of $5 per gallon.”

Former EPA Chief of Staff Mandy Gunasekara told reporters this week that even though Americans are paying the highest gas prices ever in our nation’s history, to the demise of many of them and their families, “team Biden continues to double down on their political commitments to ‘end all fossil fuels.'”

Biden promised a cold, dark winter – and it is coming soon Much of America seems to be asleep at the wheel in terms of recognizing that our lives and livelihoods are now being used as political fodder by the “green”-loving left to get back at the Supreme Court for taking aim at the climate change agenda.
