Little Napoleon and His Trusty New Steed
Climate catastrophist Chris Bowen delayed switching from a petrol car to an electric vehicle because he was determined to drive the latest Tesla.
He could have had a Hyundai EV but he insisted on waiting until the Tesla 3 was available, according to an article in the Daily Telegraph.
The car was, of course, paid for by taxpayers.
But think of all the dirty carbon emissions Bowen was pumping into the fragile atmosphere while waiting for his EV of choice to arrive.
If the weather bedwetter was really concerned about the climate, he would have taken the Hyundai. I mean, when you’re on a climate highway to hell, you take the first EV you can get your hands on, don’t you?
Not Bowen.
The planet may be on fire, but Bowen reckoned he could afford to let it burn just a bit more rather than pass up the chance to drive one of Elon’s cars.
I’m sure the children mining cobalt in the Congo will be happy for Bowen. But I digress.
As this picture shows, Bowen is clearly still learning about his new set of wheels …
Someone needs to tell the Energy Minister that you don’t need to hold the power cord when charging an EV. It’s not like electricity is going to spill all over the ground if the cord suddenly disconnects.
He’s going to be standing there a long time.
Six hours?
One thing I do know about Bowen’s new car - it will automatically swerve to the left.
I wonder if he realises the electricity charging his swanky new vehicle is generated by burning coal? Probably not.
You have to love the arrogance. As energy minister, Chris Bowen proposes policies that make the cost of electricity skyrocket for ordinary Australians while, at the same time, posing in front of a prestigious EV provided for him by those same ordinary Australians.
Anyway, if Bowen’s intention was to inspire the rest of us, I think it has worked. I’m certainly inspired.
I think we should all trade in our current vehicles for free Teslas.
Who’s with me?
Ok so we shovel out $ 65,000 to buy the base model but if we need to go long distance we pay $80,000 or if we want some performance we pay over $91,000 +...we’ll I guess nothing beats the purse strings of the tax payers bottomless wallet...it isn’t my money so I can spend up big to prove my pious virtue on the matter...I’m breathing rarified air doing my upmost for the environment... I’m saving Australia from more intense bushfires, and longer and more frequent rain events and of course hotter and more regular droughts and also more dangerous cyclones any other horrific weather disasters I can think of and wait for it greater sea level rise which is claiming my Pacific neighbours and their homes.., my new EV and I am amazing.. this car does so much for my statusI....take some more pictures of me I’m so cutting edge and so Green savvy ...and if you don’t have a garage get ready to run the worlds largest extension cord to power your cars trip to work...but that’s ok your powering your car with coal fired power which won’t be available next year so your midlife crisis toy will run out of puff sooner than you think! What a wimp says the VK commodore and XE Falcon crew... we have the real muscle buddy
