Has anybody found it suspicious that from day one the execs at VW admitted they sabotaged their own Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) diesel powered cars? Or that they seem almost happy to halt TDI sales and recall millions of TDIs around the world? This is a first in the world of Corporations who normally deny, deny, deny.
Where’s Idaho, I know they’re some hardcore Diesel fans in Idaho!
TDI vehicles were the fastest growing sales segment for VW, and VW administrators intentionally modified an emissions computer program that even the designer of (Bosch) warned, in writing, not to! Now realize that VW is pushing sales of their new electric car called the e-Golf.
Just a few days ago a survey revealed that 75% of electric car ‘owners’ refuse to actually buy the car, instead they lease. But that’s not all, leases of electric vehicle (EV) in the United States peaked in 2013 and have been steadily declining since then (in 2013 EV leasing was at 80%). The survey excluded the damned expensive Tesla cars because their average monthly lease is almost $9-hundred per month with a nearly $7-thousand USD down payment!
In the European country of France EV sales actually went negative!
Why lease an electric car instead of buy it? Because it costs almost as much to replace the environmentally deadly batteries as it does to buy a newer used car! So, herein lies the difference between e-car operators and diesel vehicle owners: E-car operators are not committed to the vehicle, they’re short timers, they’re not long term ‘car lovers’ who want to actually own a piece of rolling art. Diesel vehicle owners want a vehicle they can hang onto long after it’s been paid off, their looking for a long term commitment. This is something the automotive industry does not want.
The automotive industry wants turn-a-round, they want to sell new cars constantly. In Germany, where VW is based, government control freaks have been trying to ban older cars for decades. In 2008, Berlin, Cologne and Hanover created strict ‘pollution’ laws. As one resident of Berlin commented “The problem is that this affects ONLY people who have a Diesel that is more then 2 years old or a normal gasoline car that has no catalytic converter (my 1986 VW bus does have one and I got a green sticker means I can go inside the city with it). In the end it affects people who have small bussinesses most – people who need to drive small vans – which are 99% diesels here in germany or people who have gotten onto the cheap diesel bandwagon that has hit germany in the mid 90s – mostly poor families or budget aware people… …Its meant to give the german automotive industry a bump (hey we have an ultra conservative government without greens or such in power what you expect?) because its struggling thats all thats coming out of it.” It’s all about guaranteed sales!
You can’t even work on your own car in Germany unless you use an approved car Hobby Work Shop: “…doing work on your car is technically not illegal, but doing any sort of work where the possibility that fluids can leak onto the ground is, except for on a sealed ground, for instance an epoxy sealed garage. Meaning no oil changes, no working on the cooling system, no brake fluid changes. If caught I believe the fine can be anywhere between 500 to 10,000 euros. Therefore one should look for what is known as a Hobbywerkstatt, there you can rent a lift, tools, and are able to dispose of all fluids without risking it.”-Twitch_de Frankfurt am Main
There are now some exemptions to those A-hole laws, such as ‘classic’ car clubs who conduct a yearly protest cruise to the capital Berlin where they drive their decades old cars ’round and ’round the capitol building, honking their aged horns and revving their engines.
France has just passed an anti-old car law as well. Starting in 2016 the city of Paris will ban cars made in 2001 or earlier, classic cars are not exempted! City A-holes will ‘give’ old car owners the equivalent of $1,500 USD to buy a new car! (perhaps it’s really about boosting those negative EV sales)
The city of Los Angeles, in California, tried that in the early 1990s and it was a failure. Why? The city was going to compensate old car owners with only a few hundred dollars towards buying a new car, and classic cars were not exempted. When all the classic car owners got together and threatened a massive class action lawsuit based on the value of their expensively restored cars the A-hole city administrators backed off.
For conspiracy aficionados; why is the U.S. terror agency known as USAID pushing the leasing of EVs through their Finance and Economic Development (the true FED) program? This brings up another point about EVs, they’re production and sales are supported by taxpayer subsidies! (“The world’s most electrified auto market didn’t rev its engines overnight….It took a lot of work and a lot of subsidies for Norway to become a major electric-vehicle success story”)
Diesels represent true independence, especially if you have an older vehicle that can easily run on bio-diesel (which is basically vegetable oil)! Hell, Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel built his iconic engine to run on vegetable oil: “In 1900 a small Diesel engine was exhibited by the Otto company which, on the suggestion of the French Government, was run on Arachide [peanut] oil, and operated so well that very few people were aware of the fact. The motor was built for ordinary oils, and without any modification was run on vegetable oil….. I have recently repeated these experiments on a large scale with full success and entire confirmation of the results formerly obtained.” He is the first documented victim of the monstrous U.S. Standard Oil company, “The American oil millionaire John D. Rockefeller became his nemesis because diesel engines consumed less oil than other engines….at the expense of the profits of oil companies.” He was later ‘disappeared’ from a ship in the english Channel, later an unidentifiable body was found floating near Norway!
What does oil family Rockefeller have to do with the government and industry push towards electric vehicles? In 2014 a British news report revealed that the Rockefeller heirs were dumping their investments in petroleum oil and shifting to alternative energy, such as electric cars!
