A state-owned public transport operator in Paris, France, the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, has pulled out 149 electric buses from its fleet after two of them spontaneously exploded within the same month. The RATP decided to temporarily retire the electric vehicles after the second explosion occurred around 9 a.m. on April 29 near the François Mitterrand Library, according to reporting from the local newspaper Le Parisien and a RATP news release. Footage of the bus engulfed in flames in Paris’s 13th arrondissement was widely circulated on social media. A video by VIXX compiling the viral videos showed smoke emanating from the top of the bus, where the battery is located.

The Achilles Heel of EVs. Makes the old Ford Pintos actually seem safe. Imagine those giant lithium batteries or piles used for storing power for electrical grids going up.

Lithium fires burn until EVERYTHING is gone but steel. Firefighters cannot rescue victims from the fires. It takes upwards of 20,000 gallons of water to put out an electric car fire. A bus is way larger. This technology sucks.

Number two nails it. We DO NOT have the right fire fighting equipment needed to douse lithium battery fires. The EVs are giant lithium batteries with wheels and seats! Remember the phone battery fires on airplanes? They had to put special bags on board the aircraft to help the flight attendants snuff them out inflight.

Lithium batteries are incendiary devices, very dangerous and once the batteries ignite, very difficult to impossible to extinguish, apparently. GM says don't park your electric bomb in an attached garage. Airlines will not accept shipments of lithium batteries. The damned things are dangerous as heck.

If they took the same caution for electric vehicles as required for gas powered vehicles, there would be no electric cars on the highway. These things are fine as long as there is no accident. When an accident occurs they are very dangerous. Additionally mining lithium from China and Africa using slave labor and children, and open pit mines is evil and very environmentally un-friendly.. If the everyone had been driving electric cars and someone discovered the internal combustion engine the environmentalist would be talking how safe, efficient the new car is. How the fuel is natural and not causing the environmental damage that lithium does.

There was some guy who was collecting worn out lithium batteries (the DO die) with the idea of recycling them. He had rented an old factory or warehouse, fortunately in the countryside, not near other buildings, and had a huge stack of these lithium batteries. Not being charged, not doing ANYTHING except sitting there.....and then they lit off. I don't think they quire explode, but some have reported phone batteries kind of exploding. In any case, the fire department had great difficulty, perhaps even entirely failed, I don't remember for sures, at putting out the huge fire which resulted. Let me see if I can find a news story on it. Well, here's one that came up. EVs on a ship...burnt the whole ship. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/lithium-ion-batteries-fueling-fire-122636147.html?msclkid=3a847f7ecef011ec8b2277208c475e31 If you want to have some fun......do a search on " lithium batteries fires" in "news".....I used Bing Dozens of different stories of places burning down due to lithium batteries. These damned things should be outlawed as too dangerous.

Lithium reacts with water to make fire so you can't put the fires out with water. Almost any source of Oxygen will do but water is double good because it also provides Hydrogen that adds to the fire. Last week a local school board was showing off their new eBuses before this video came out and I thought sure hope it doesn't go up with kids in it.

Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage barred a philanthropic group from featuring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at a June conference at the site and forced organizers to relocate. Tikvah Fund leaders Elliott Abrams and Eric Cohen told The Post Friday that museum brass advised them to either disinvite DeSantis or take the annual Jewish Leadership Conference elsewhere. Cohen said they were shocked by the ultimatum. “Never before did the museum share their opinions about or seek to assert oversight over our guest speakers,” he said Friday.

As the years take their toll, our World War II veterans are passing away. There are so few of them left that when we get an opportunity to honor or celebrate one of them, we should. It’s believed that retired Sgt. Victor W. Butler is the last Tuskegee Airman living in Rhode Island, and he is turning 100 this month. That’s an amazing feat in and of itself, but the fact that he so bravely fought for his country at a time when racism and segregation were still prevalent in the U.S. makes his story even more remarkable. “The airfield was very nice.

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell has once again made a complete fool of himself, this time with a defense of abortion in which he brought up the completely unrelated issue of school shootings to blame Republicans for mass murder as justification for his support for the killing of the unborn. Drawing on President Joe Biden’s recent demonizing of nearly half of the American electorate whom he accused of being the “most extreme political organization” in the nation’s history, the California Democrat upped the ante with his latest unhinged Twitter outburst. “You know who had a heartbeat?

If you’ve been on social media at all this week, you’ve probably been amused by some of the unhinged reactions from the left to the leaked draft majority opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. They were full of apocalyptic predictions by people who don’t understand what overturning Roe v. Wade would actually do. Be that as it may, it is widely believed that the draft opinion was leaked in order to allow for a pressure campaign to take place in the hopes that some justices could be swayed before the final opinion is released.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that the average American does not understand how good the U.S. economy is doing. Burnett said, “So mentioned a new CNN poll that found two-thirds of all Americans now disapprove of how President Biden specifically is handling the economy, two-thirds of all Americans. That’s bad. On top of that, more than 50% of Democrats think the economy is in poor shape, up 16 percentage points from December. Eighty-one percent of independents think the economy is in poor shape. These are all bad, no good numbers in this entire thing. How big of a problem is this for the president?”

Parents and politicians alike are slamming President Biden for his failure to address the US' ongoing baby formula shortage - with one distressed dad saying 'never did I think I would have a problem finding food for my baby in America.' The backlash against Biden comes as the formula shortage has reached crisis levels in recent weeks, with at least 12 states facing 40 percent or higher out of stock rates. As shelves across the country meant to carry formula remain largely barren, parents such as Russell Bleck, a husband and father in Lexington, Kentucky, have become desperate to get their hands on the all important product.

The protest comes after the Washington Post published an article earlier Saturday about a pro-abortion neighbor of Kavanaugh who was protesting outside his home on a regular basis but was having trouble getting others to join her because most people believe protests at private homes are considered bad for a civil society.

Jill Biden made an unannounced trip across the Ukraine border today for a Mother’s Day visit with Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelensky. It was the first time Mrs .Zelensky has appeared in public since Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24. Jill’s trip into Ukraine makes her the highest-profile member of the Biden administration to go into the war zone. Credit when credit is due. Biden went into Ukraine, something that her husband, the President of the United States, did not do when he was in the region recently. In other words, the first lady is doing what the leader of the free world refuses to do.
