We sincerely hope that people are paying attention to the aftermath of Gavin Newsom’s Disco Inferno 2025 in Los Angeles County. Entire communities have burned to the ground because of Newsom’s “visionary” efforts to do battle with the weather.
Newsom’s global warming diktats have resulted in tens of thousands of people suddenly finding themselves homeless in a city with only dozens of rental units on the market. The lives of human beings have been destroyed so that Newsom could save a worthless bait fish that wasn’t even endangered.
Best of all, thousands of electric cars and trucks are now charred hulks and environmental hazards because people were unable to flee in them.
One of Newsom’s most obnoxious global warming initiatives is his attempt to ban all gas-powered cars in the state by 2035. Los Angelenos have been eagerly complying and getting a head start on this. The most popular EVs in L.A. County are two versions of Elon Musk’s Tesla, followed by the Toyota Prius and the Ford F-150 Lightning.
There are an awful lot of those silly EVs that burned up in the wildfires, which is an aspect of the blaze that few are talking about yet. Once an EV catches fire, most fire departments don’t have any of the equipment or tools to put them out. You can’t just dump water on a blazing EV. They burn extremely hot and they burn for a long time.
Pacific Palisades is now a wasteland of burned-out EVs. Every one of those former vehicles is now considered a toxic waste dump by Gavin Newsom’s environmental police. People aren’t even allowed to move them without proper clearances and permits from the government, and they’ll have to hire very busy specialist teams to clean all the burned Teslas out.
From the Los Angeles Times:
“You’ve plugged your electric vehicle into your home charger and hit the sack. Overnight, high winds topple a power line. Your charger blacks out. Then, a report of a fire, followed by an evacuation order. Your battery’s only charged to 25%. And it’s your only car.”
Exactly.
That is the exact scenario that many people experienced in the wildfires. It’s now dawning on a lot of people in California that if electric cars are their only option, they’re going to die in the next big wildfire that happens.
Newsom mismanages California’s forests and its thick, brushy areas around Los Angeles by not clearing out hazardous, dry materials. He’s protecting the ferns and the fish and the weather from global warming. But that means he’s not protecting the lives of human beings from predictable disasters like these wildfires.
Imagine trying to get out of those hillside communities in an uncharged EV. The power company shuts off the electricity when there’s a wildfire!
You can’t just stop in at an EV charging station and recharge your vehicle. EVs are designed to be short-distance vehicles and that is the last thing you want when you have to evacuate from somewhere.
Even if you were lucky enough to find a charging station with power in an emergency like that, you’re going to be waiting a while. Even on a DC fast charger, it still takes an average EV an hour to reach an 80% battery charge.
That doesn’t sound like an enjoyable hour when 80mph winds are pushing a raging inferno in the direction of your family. And that’s assuming that there aren’t 50 EVs lined up ahead of you at the charging station.
Just days after Gavin Newsom announced his 2035 ban on gas-powered cars, the state government sent out a notice begging electric car owners not to charge their vehicles. The crap-tastic governor hasn’t allowed the state to build any new power plants, so charging all the EVs at once was threatening the power grid for entire regions of the state.
About 10% of the cars on the roads in California are EVs today. Imagine if Newsom could get that number up to 20%.
California is doomed. People in Los Angeles aren’t suddenly going to start voting Republican after this disaster. But people in other states should pay attention and learn from Gavin Newsom’s fatal mistakes. Electric cars will get people killed in emergency situations.
Plus, we’re pretty sure that all the toxins released in the air by all the homes and EVs that Newsom allowed to burn have offset any “carbon gains” that he’s made.
