There, There, Mother. Congress is Going to Make Everything All Right.

Remember, when it comes to climate change, it’s the science.

Nancy Pelosi, on the $369 billion climate change bill just passed by Congress:  “Mother Earth gets angry from time to time, & this legislation will help us address all of that.”

One of the ways Pelosi and Congress intend mollifying our infuriated Earth Mother is by providing a $7500 tax credit to the upper-class (they’re the only ones who can afford the things) buying new electric cars and, in a touching display of compassion for the poorish, a $4000 credit to the upper-middle class buying used ones.

You see, everyone knows electric cars are “clean,” producing no hydrocarbons when in use. The same goes for electricity itself, but only when generated by nuclear power of course–oh wait . . . Ah well, there’s always natural gas, vastly cleaner-burning than oil or coal–oh wait . . .

Perhaps this clean car will calm our Earth Mother down.

Unfortunately, the energy production method required keeping clean cars like the above powered is considered by environentalists far and away the dirtiest of them all, thus the most despised of them all.
