Bet Tesla will place superchargers right outside the government plots. So Musk can cash in on this.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

It just makes no sense economically either. He is screwing over Elon's own company, just to force oil onto consumers. I get the feeling that this administration is straight up doing it for the evilz. Supporting only dictators, telling every lie possible, cutting government agencies that help, while creating new ones to steal your tax anyway.
Incoming ICE Tesla
How are they gonna charge the $400 million worth of cybertrucks they ordered for the military?
Ooooh, haha, I just found this: Trump administration says it has no plans to fulfill $400 million 'armored Tesla' contract - https://www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g-s1-48571/trump-administration-order-400-million-worth-of-armored-teslas
What does the president think about this?
I'd just not show up to work.
Lol what a jackass
The NIH used to have an electric outlet with a large sign saying EV charging:D Spending 60 hours on a 1KW trickle charge on the guvmint's dime is awesome!
1.3kW so you're still getting a decent bit of charging done
Can he just fucking... disappear? Just take all that money you've stolen from contractors, kompromat from Russia, and bribes from Saudi Arabia and just fuck off. He has a deep hole inside and will never truly be happy, which makes me feel great, but that's a small consolation compared to the destruction of democracy and the entire USA.
This will definitely lower the price of eggs.
This feels more damn petty than Regan taking solar panels off the Whitehouse. Like these chargers were already installed, they weren't costing a damn thing, and now they're going to spend money to have perfectly good infrastructure sit unused. Fucking morons.
2026: Tesla stops manufacturing cars and pivots to humanoid robotics, with Ai enabled control and dedicated starlink network.
We're gonna be killing robots in the streets by the end of the decade.
Nah, more likely robots will be killing minorities and kids in the streets. It will be illegal to harm the robots. They fulfill the will of the oligarchs
gods i fucking hate it here
That is offensive and sad. Keeping existing infrastructure that makes a nice employee perk has high value. Cost savings on electricity seems like a bs minimal excuse.
Don't worry, he'll just give Musk another $50 million government contract to redo them. And by "redo", I mean turn them back on.
Shameful. Reminds me of when Reagan had the solar panels removed from the roof of the White House.
This is really funny imo.
We are past the time when green technology needs a boost.
We are now at a time when green tech is the cheapest solution.
So these are all theatre, cause green will be the obvious choice for those who think about the bottom line moving forward.
Cruelty is the point
That's exactly right. These thing were already bought, paid for, installed, and being used. This is just a fuck-you to anyone who cares about the environment. Why? Because if you care about the environment you probably don't support Trump.
