Chevie Volt facts with added Notes

See the USA in a Chevrolet ... er ... Volt, at 40 miles per charge?

Chevie Volt assembly line shut down due to poor sales. 1300 laid off and receiving unemployment checks. GM blames Rush Limbaugh. 3/5/12 This shutdown happened one day after Obama gave "them" a non-commercial boost.

Eric Bolling, financial reporter, test drove the Chevy Volt at the invitation of General Motors.

For four days in a row, the fully charged battery lasted only 25 miles before the Volt switched to the reserve gasoline engine. Eric calculated the car got 30 mpg including the 25 miles it ran on the battery. So, the range including the 9 gallon gas tank and the 16 kwh battery is approximately 270 miles. It will take you 4 1/2 hours to drive 270 miles at 60 mph. Then add 10 hours to charge the battery and you have a total trip time of 14.5 hours. In a typical road trip your average speed (including charging time) would be 20 mph.

According to General Motors, the Volt battery holds 16 kwh of electricity.

It takes a full 10 hours to charge a drained battery.

The cost for the electricity to charge the Volt is never mentioned so I looked up what I pay for electricity. I pay approximately (it varies with amount used and the seasons) $1.16 per kwh.

16 kwh x $1.16 per kwh = $18.56 to charge the battery.
$18.56 per charge divided by 25 miles = $0.74 per mile to operate the Volt using the battery.

Compare this to a similar size car with a gasoline engine only that gets 32 mpg.

$3.19 per gallon divided by 32 mpg = $0.10 per mile.

The gasoline powered car costs about $15,000 while the Volt costs $46,000. So Obama wants us to pay 3 times as much for a car that costs more than 7 times as much to run and takes 3 times as long to drive across country.

REALLY?

Added Note 1. The Chevie Volt is under-performing in sales. Consumers are not buying it. See #5 below.

Added Note 2. In addition to the GM bailout, we, the US Taxpayers, are paying out a $5,000 subsidy on each and every one of these Obama cars that is produced and sold.

Added Note 3. Electric car batteries are NOT lifetime-of-the-car batteries. They must be replaced periodically. Car batteries are not cheap.

Added Note 4. It costs more in "energy" to produce electric cars than is saved in driving them. This creates a net energy loss based on current technology. Compare this to the price history of hand calculators, cell phones and TVs.

Added Note 5. Electric cars emit more pollution than do gasoline powered cars. Heard on the radio.

Added Note 6. GE just mandated that its field reps must drive Chevie Volts. If reps elect not to do this, they must provide their own car and gasoline, out of their own pockets. The head of GE is the head of the Obama job creation team. February 2012

Added Note 7. A certain eletric car battery, if drained, must be returned to the factory for replacement at a cost of roughly $40,000. Heard on the radio 2/23/12

Union Membership Rate Falls to 100-Year Low

… According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today, the union membership rate fell to 11.1 percent, with just 14.6 million wage and salaried workers maintaining membership.

… The rate of union membership has been on a steady decline over the past three decades. It grew slightly from 12.1 percent in 2007 to 12.4 percent in 2008. During President Obama’s first year in office, however, it fell once more.

Federal Unions ... the numbers

AFL-CIO: The AFL-CIO is a parent union to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and all but the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).

AFGE: 600,000 + 4,500 in DC area

AFGE is the largest federal union. It represents 600,000 federal workers and some 4,500 DC government workers and monitors issues that impact the federal workforce personal and professional lives such as funding, working conditions, and health care benefits.

Agencies with the highest concentration include the Defense, Social Security Administration, and Justice. Workplace inspectors, border patrols, VA medical staffs, and certain Environmental Protection Agency staff also make the membership list.

NTEU: 155,000

The NTEU is the largest independent non-postal federal employee union representing some 155,000 workers in 24 government agencies.

The NTEU represents the Customs Service and Border Patrol workers, employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The NTEU was first established in 1938 as the National Association of Employees of Collectors of Internal Revenue (NAECIR). The organization sought to improve working conditions, secure fair wages, and ensure job security for federal revenue officers. Over the years, the union has undergone name changes and expansion efforts. It took on its current name in 1975 and now includes members in Treasury, the FCC, ATF, and EPA. NTEU tries to ensure and expand federal worker protections, rights, and benefits.

NALC, NRLCA, and APWU: Postal employees are very familiar with and belong to unions. To them, the initials National Association of Letter Carriers (NACL) and American Postal Workers Union (APWU) are household names. The National Rural Letter Carriers Association (NRLCA) also represents U.S. postal employees.

AFSCME 1,300,000

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is the fastest growing and largest union for public employees, reporting a whopping 1.3 million members.

AFSCME represents a cadre of state and local workers and a small percentage of federal agencies and private and not-for-profit organizations. Public health, law enforcement, education, and public works employees comprise the bulk of its membership. Women account for a majority of the membership.

NAGE: 150,000

The National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) was formed in 1961. The organization assists government workers in collective bargaining and by lobbying for workplace safety, fair pay, and workers' benefits. Its President, Kenneth Lyons, has been at the helm since the union organized. NAGE represents 150,000 federal, state, and local government workers nationwide including emergency medical technicians, nurses, custodians, police officers, and scientists. NAGE is affiliated with a diverse set of smaller unions including the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO), the National Association of Nurses (NAON) and the Army/Air Technicians Union (AATU). It is also affiliated with the AFL-CIO and the Services Employee International Union (SEIU).

NFFE: The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) represents federal and DC municipal employees. It was first organized in 1917 and is the oldest independent union for federal and DC government workers.

AFT and NEA 3,000,000 estimated

The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association also represent public employees.

This totals over 2.3 million Big Gov Employees plus teachers who owe their paychecks to those members of Congress plus the locals [i.e., teachers]. Politicians happily agree to their raise demands in return for their votes.

The NLRB's proposed new election guidelines are designed to make union certification elections as one-sided as possible by:

• Encouraging union operatives to conduct stealth organizing campaigns for months or even years until they collect "union authorization cards" from just 30% of the workforce;

• Ambushing the rest of the workforce with quick-snap elections just days after union organizers turn the cards in to the NLRB;

• Denying workers sufficient time to counter union-boss propaganda, educate themselves and coworkers about the effects of unionization, and organize in opposition to the union;

• Forcing companies to hand over to union organizers the name, address, phone number, email address, and shift schedule of each employee, exposing workers to "home visits" and other intimidation tactics. [www.NationalRightToWorkFoundation.org] 8/20/11

11%. In 2010, the union membership rate -- the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of a union -- was 11.%, down from 12.3% a year earlier, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions declined by 612,000 to 14.7 million.

In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1%, and there were 17.7 million union workers.

Highlights from the 2010 data:

• The union membership rate for public sector workers at 36.% was substantially higher than the rate for private sector workers at 6.9%. (See table 3.)

• Workers in education, training, and library occupations had the highest unionization rate at 37.1%. (See table 3.)

• Black workers are more likely to be union members than are white, Asian or Hispanic workers. (See table 1.)

• Among states, New York had the highest union membership rate at 24.2%. North Carolina had lowest rate at 3.2%. (See table 5.)

CDC: Nation’s percentage of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, less that supposed … 1.6% The National Health Interview Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is the federal government’s most relied upon estimate of the nation’s health and behaviors, found that fewer than 3% of respondents self-identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Only 1.6% of respondents self-identified as gay or lesbian, and even less, 0.7%, self-identified as bisexual. [breitbart.com] 7/15/14

Democrat Climate & Health Scare

The New Global Warming Threat: We Will All Be Dead Soon … But Berry and her cohorts aim to scare you into compliance. They want you to welcome politicians who want to raise your taxes and massively raise the cost of your energy. [politicaloutcast.com] 3/31/14

But real scientists insist that there is no global warming taking place. This weather scam is being used to extort money from wealthy nations for the underdeveloped nations. They seek to put a financial lid on the US economy in particular whiie ignoring the big polluters that continue to spew unhealthy particulate matter into the atmosphere. The US is doing its part to reduce emissions successfully while the rest of the world goes forward without restraint or financial consequences.

Dementia – Alzheimer Prevention [update]

• Exercise – walk, run jog, swim, hike, cycle, ski, tennis, bowl, etc

• Study and Learn = Use your noggin.

• Eat Blueberries and other berries

• Brush your teeth with plain water before going to bed

• Consider adopting the 5:2 feast and famine diet.

The Whys:

• Exercise and Learn: Use it or lose it.

• Blueberries are good: Berries in general are a good anti-oxidant food among other benefits

• Brush your teeth: Chemicals from decaying food in your mouth have been found in the brains of dementia like subjects. These same trace elements are not found in those who brushed their teeth before bed.

• 5:2 diet: One feature of Feast and Famine diet is that it accelerates the cell maintenance and repair functions of the body … and that has implications for dementia prevention.

Keep a daily log ...

• Date. Log days on diet. Daily Morning Weight. 
• Breakfast. Lunch. Supper. Snacks. Water intake. 
• Exercise - build up to 20-30 minute minimum 3 times per week.

Feast and Famine Diet. Eat what you like without pigging out 5 days a week. Then on 2 NON-consecutive days, limit yourself to 500 calories per day. 600 for men. To me, that makes a lot more sense than trying to mentally control what you eat seven days a week. This is the next diet that I am going to try. I had the idea years ago that if I would fast one day a week and NOT pig out the other 6 days of the week, that would be a sound diet plan to lose weight. Now it has become official with the Feast and Famine Diet. [dailymail.co.uk] 11/28/12

As a life-long dieter, my suggestion is to ignore the skeptics. They are usually against new any new diet just as they were with the Adkins Diet of years ago when it became more well known. If it works for you, it works.
