Michael Ramirez for April 25, 2021

How can anyone be this stupid?

In which Michael Ramirez demonstrates that he does not know what a battery is or how it works.

I see Ramirez has gone #justPaynestupid.

I will agree with all of you that the use of petroleum products is ruining the planet, but unless you live on a farm and employ the use of farm animals(mules to pull your plows, cows to supply your dairy products), then you are as addicted to petroleum as I and the millions of others are. Nearly everything that we use is produced, transported, or in some fashion brought to us by the use of petroleum. Remove the political arguments and the prospect of profits and you will never hear the term “alternative energy” again.

Even the coalminer’s union has said that they are eagerly awaiting alternative energy so they can get newer and better energy jobs.

I guess the GQP can’t use the ol’ “save the coal jobs” excuse anymore.

It’s amazing how conservatives fail to believe in American ingenuity. As for me, I’ll place my bets on America being able to create, design and engineer new technologies to replace these 18th/19th/20th century ones the GOP wants to keep pushing.

Conservatives need to have a little faith in America for once.

Sponsored by American coal and oil companies. We approve of this message.

Oh Mike, you know better.

Um, Mr. Ramirez, the sun’s rays come through clouds, that’s why even on a cloudy or rainy day it’s always brighter out than it is at night. Oh, and just for the record, night happens because of the the earth’s rotation, not clouds.

Here’s the answer to this problem:

Conservatives have only backwards to offer

Mr. Ramirez has never heard of hybrid drive vehicles?

Or advances in battery technology which will sooner or later render liquid-fueled vehicles obsolete?

Mr. Ramirez is also unaware that petrochemicals are a limited resource that we humans are using up?

I admire Mr. Ramirez’s art. It is sad to see such talent used in the service of misleading viewers, justifying poor choices, and outright lies.

Can you spell Battery?

Here comes the sun And I say it’s all right

The dude with the jerry can must not have gotten the memo.. this car does not use gas. But seriously.. doesn’t anyone in that bunch have AAA

If these people had been around then, they would have fought the development of the automobile, because it would put blacksmiths out of work.

Hi, Mikey.

The electricity made when the sun shines is STORED (what a concept) in things called BATTERIES. So it can be used LATER.

I hope that’s clear. I tried to avoid big words.

A truly embarassing strip even for you, Mr. Ramirez. Please bring at least a modicum of intelligence to your work.

Drove up and back to Seattle (180 miles each way) for a visit with Spouse’s 98 year old mother. More Teslas passed us than Porches.

They have these things called batteries.

Who else loves Biden just sitting in the backseat grumpily?

The road we just may be on now, no pun intended.

Ramirez, green cars don’t work that way and are actually quite comfortable and have good power, and can go the distance. A cute cartoon though but you missed the boat on this one.

There are a few solar powered EVs out there, like the Aptera, but even they don’t rely entirely on the sun for their power. And they still use large battery banks for powering to EV. This toon promotes the worst of the myths about EVs. Now Mike can keep his ICE cars, as I still have an ICE truck, and keep polluting away. My Leaf is driven mostly, and the Dakota is solely for the few long distance drives.

Heheh the “Beast” turned into a bunny, Perfect Mike. Of corse the looney left purposefully ignores the point and message behind the ‘toon which illustrates the absurdity of this insane new green deal.

Along these lines the Climate Summit was an absolute disaster riddle with technical difficulties with heads of states talking over one another or sitting in dead silence, echoes, reverberations, feedback etc. One would think that after a year of the world being forced to switch to online meetings via Zoom and such, the leaders of the and their staff could figure out how to do this without any problems. Then there’s slow Joe Biden’s embarrassingly absurd performance. First, he’s sitting alone behind a desk in a videoconference and he’s WEARING A MASK. Were any of the other world leaders wearing a mask. No of course not, why would they. Personally been on dozens of videoconferences and never saw anyone wearing a mask, it kinda defeats the purpose. Second, most heads of state had their national flag or symbol displayed behind them. Not Biden. Joe and his Democrat handlers so disrespect America that they couldn’t even be bothered to have our flag on display during the summit. Then there’s slow Joes performance in addressing the summit, an embarrassing disgrace as always.

Another job well done Mr. Ramirez. You got the loony liberals panties in a bunch again. Listen to their little hissy fits. They are sooooo laughable!!!!

Republicans want to continue to subsidize oil companies as they pollute the world.

He has just proved he is someone who lives in the dark

Put an “R” after their name!!

The Q onspiracy theorists will blame the so-called “Chemtrails”.

Whenever we offspring made a real Bozo comment, my Dad used to ask us if we were born that stupid or if we practiced. Ramirez clearly practices.

The plague of straw men overrunning the countryside must be defeated! Thanks to Mr. Ramirez for bravely destroying one in today’s cartoon!

Ramirez doesn’t understand that a battery powered car is powered by batteries…

Todays’ toon is so stupid on so many levels I started to pass but I must point out to Kracklin Rosie that you wear the mask for the environment you are in, not for the people on the screen.

If your average MAGIDIOT ever tried to think about an EV and solar energy at the same time, it might believe that is how EVs actually worked. However, they can’t hold multiple thoughts of conservation at the same time, let alone realizing the use of solar energy to power the car is not so concrete.

I am so tired of fools like Ramirez. I know that’s not polite, but fools like Ramirez are putting us all in danger. It’s past the point of worrying about his tender feelings. He’s a fool.

Ramirez, in 1921:

“Get a horse!”

“If God had meant man to fly, he’d have given us wings!”

“Candles were good enough for my grandfather, they’re good enough for me!”

“Radio is a fad!”

“Men will never break the sound barrier!”

“Talkies won’t last.”

This won’t be a problem once Congress enacts decent pollution control laws

This car has a gas tank as well as a solar cell array. This seems to be more than a hybrid-electric car. Who forgot to gas up the car and drove it till the batteries were drained.

“Ramirez was not the one and lost his head.”

I guess he’s never heard of batteries. I guess he’s just another fossil.
