CANCER And Global COOLING? Risks To The Electric Vehicle Market That Could Be More Damaging Than Ever Expected?

For a second I thought it was a mommy blog. The blog is just pointless conjecture.

There are people who fear living near electrical power lines.

There are people who fear electricity generated by nuclear power stations, believing the electricity itself is radioactive.

There are people who put caps in their electrical outlets, fearing that the electricity will leak out and make them sick.

There are people who believe that holding a cellphone up to your ear while on a call will give you brain cancer.

There are people who believe that airplane condensation trails at high altitudes are chemicals deployed by the government.

There are people who believe Jenny McCarthy is a medical expert and that vaccines cause autism.


The list of people's "interesting" beliefs go on and on. Do we really need to give these sham notions publicity, and air them, as though they had any credibility? (This is where Alt.Right-ers chime in about global climate change being a Chinese hoax.)

Actually, this would be where the Alt Left intoleranti (sic) chime in and call for the eradication of the EV so that their religion of global warming will not be terminated. :)

As we know, the expression “Alt Left” is used solely by Alt.Right-ers to mean “not one of us” or “not an Alt.Right-er.” It is intended as an attack. So thank you, Matt, for that glowing compliment, though I am sure you didn’t intend it that way.

When Matt alludes to me being intolerant, he is correct that I am intolerant towards Nazis (neo and original flavor), Fascists, totalitarianism, racists, bigots, supremacist, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, anti-LGBTQ people, and hate groups in general. Basically, all these, collectively, are under the Alt.Right umbrella. I am SO not Alt.Right!

History records that Americans (and others) laid down their lives in World War II to defeat German Nazis. This is the highest American spirit in action (in my mind), sacrificing selflessly for the greater good. Meanwhile, Alt.Right-ers march in torch-lit Nazi assemblies, chanting “Jews will not replace us,” and they call these Nazi marchers “fine people” (a direct quote from the prez.) Remember this, when you hear Alt.Righ-ers raise their voices, claiming that White Nationalists (White Supremacists Nazis) are the most Pro-American “fine people” around, and that everyone else hates America :-/

Also remember that the Alt.Right-ers’ favored weapons are: Hate, derision, ridicule, deflection (attributing one’s own despicable characteristics to others), and nit-picking (a diversionary tactic to introduce red-herrings and dilute focus on them). Keep this in mind when you read MDarringer’s posts (and a handful other Alt.Right-ers here on AutoSpies). You might see it in the replies to this post.

And of course, if there’s anything that pisses off an Alt.Righter, it’s indisputable facts that puts them in an unfavorable light, and exposes them for what they truly are.

Looks like TheSteve is back to writing essays that no one reads.

This guy does not seem to understand that the cell phones are senders of EM radiation and battery is not the problem.

Yeah, it COULD be. What we KNOW os that the ICEs cars are killing car by the thousands as we discuss this „idea“.

The end is near! Oh my whatever should I do?

-35C with the windchill today in the GTA. A good old "cold enough to kill you" winter day just like it was when I was a kid. My dog could care less and would even go in the river to get stick if it was not frozen over.

Forget about electric vehicles. They need to be recharged over the already over taxed aging national electric grid powered by coal and oil.

Hydrogen power is the real solution to powering mass vehicles and trucks. There is limitless supplies of hydrogen and the only by product is propulsion and water.

The only problem is that hydrogen is decades away from readiness and by then EVs will have made them pointless.

EVs have already made FCVs pointless.

EVs have indeed made FCVs pointless and in a decade or two ICE as well.

But where will the added electrical production come from?

I'm honestly surprised that the sanctuary state I live in has not made it mandatory for all new construction (residential and commercial) to have solar panels.

Some cities have, prewiring for charging stations too. The way electricity is priced in CA it is utter ignorance not to have solar and batteries at this point.

Damn, 001! That's a really sorry excuse for FUD. Do the Spies ever consider the sources they quote? Seeking Alpha is a known Tesla hater outlet, has a bunch of idiots who shorted the stock and now feel sorry for themselves. They have zero credibility and have been debunked over and over.

EMR recommendations were initially collected by the biased International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection or (ICNIRP) and did very little to protect health. It appears that if EMR measurements do not exceed the ICNIRP guidelines everyone is safe, but the data is so flawed that occupants of hybrid and electric vehicles can be proven to be at an increased risk of cancer and several other health problems will also occur over time. The fact is that the ICNIRP data comes nowhere near to showing the dangers, as there were profitable reasons to ignore those facts.

Specific magnetic fields were long ago proven to be “carcinogenic” in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization, who advised that the designers of consumer products should minimize consumer exposure to ELF EMR, but didn’t really give any guidance as to how much it should be. This should have, but did not apply to hybrid and electric vehicles, even though drivers and their passengers were bound to spend considerable amounts of time in these vehicles and the health risks were known to increase with constant exposure providing what could be loosely termed as the microwave effect.

“In January, 2014, SINTEF, the largest independent research organization in Scandinavia, proposed manufacturing design guidelines that could reduce the magnetic fields in electric vehicles”. All automobile manufacturers should follow these guidelines to ensure their customers’ safety, but no one does because no one has been given the data.

Mathematically the ICNIRP guidelines for maximum exposure to electromagnetic fields come nowhere near protecting the occupant of an electric vehicle from serious health risks.

The simple fact is that Passengers inside an electric or hybrid vehicle will be exposed to low frequency EMR at dangerous levels if you compared them with conventional vehicles or other daily exposures combined. See image below where quite clearly passengers are sitting on a bed of batteries.
