Chevron exec enlists Arizona retirees in effort against electric cars
- Florin_Andrei 7y agoNothing more american than Mr. Moneybags using the fools and the easily deceived as puppets, in the name of "freedom" (i.e. the personal interests of the puppet master).
- gowld 7y agoHN title (not article title) is misleading to my reading. The "retirees" are Chevron/Unocal retirees in Arizona (and presumably pension-holders or stockholders) specifically, not general Arizona retirees.
- whenchamenia 7y agoThe effort is against the Public Funding of ecars and infrastructure by contacting previous employees. Title is misleading and a half, and eco-political clickbait.
- IOT_Apprentice 7y agoIs Chevron enlisting its retirees in AZ to fight electric car infrastructure? Yes it is. Is that a bad idea? Yes it is. ICE cars got infrastructure from a combination of Gasoline and Car manufacturings teaming up to destroy public transportation at metropolitan levels. Know your history. The rest of the world is going to pass this country by, and leave it a backwater, with the adoption of solar and electric power, alongside the transition to electric vehicles. And the drive for that will push battery technology even further, which is good news.
- foxyv 7y agoFunny, Chevron could be making a mint on charging cafes or convenience stores. Park in a place for 30 minutes and charge while shopping or eating. Maybe throw in a Starbucks partnership or run it like a Sonic where people come out to your car with food/drinks.
