New $4B Panasonic Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Factory In Kansas Requires So Much Power That The Facility Will Need Its

Environmentalists furious that coal plant will have to remain open to produce Panasonic's EV batteries.
A coal-fired power plant in Kansas that was slated for closure will remain open after all to provide needed power for, wait for it: a new electric vehicle (EV) battery factory producing “clean” energy storage products.
In accordance with the Biden regime’s ongoing efforts to force all Americans into an EV, Panasonic has built a $4 billion EV battery factory in the small Kansas City exurb of De Soto.
Local media reports state that the factory will require anywhere from 200 to 250 megawatts of electricity to function. This is roughly the amount of power needed to keep the lights on in a small city.
On track to receive a whopping $6.8 billion from fake president Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, Panasonic is proving once again that in order to create “clean” energy, you have to burn a lot of “dirty” energy, rendering it a pointless endeavor.
The amount of energy the new Panasonic EV battery facility needs is so high, in fact, that a representative from Evergy, the public utility serving the factory, testified before the Kansas City Corporation Commission that there are serious “near-term challenges from a resource adequacy perspective.”
Put another way, the Panasonic EV battery factory in De Soto is an energy hog of epic proportions. As such, Evergy says it will have to continue burning coal at a nearby power plant in Lawrence that was previously slated to eventually transition to natural gas production.
There is nothing “clean” about producing “green” energy products like EV batteries. In fact, it actually takes a much greater toll on the environment to produce EV batteries and other EV components than it does to continue building and using traditional gas-powered vehicles.
“A 15-pound lithium-ion battery holds about the same amount of energy as a pound of oil. To make that battery requires 7,000 pounds of rock and dirt to get the minerals that go into that battery,” reports Cowboy State Daily. “The average EV battery weighs around 1,000 pounds.”
“All of that mining and factory processing produces a lot more carbon dioxide emissions than a gas-powered car, so EVs have to be driven around 50,000 to 60,000 miles before there’s a net reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.”
In other words, as increasingly more EV battery and other EV product factories get built across the U.S. to accommodate the Biden regime’s “green” pipe dream, the environment will become more and more destroyed, which has left many environmentalists feeling betrayed as they recoil in fury.
Testifying before federal lawmakers and members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington, D.C., recently was American Coal Council CEO Emily Arthun, who spelled it all out with clarity.
“I met with senators and representatives who understand that we’re going to need coal for far longer than people are talking about,” Arthun said, explaining that the “green” energy industry requires massive amounts of “dirty” energy to stay afloat.
“People are starting to understand that energy needs are increasing, and these premature [coal-fired power plant] closures are a liability.”
Rep. Cyrus Western (R-Wyo.) said much the same to Cowboy State Daily, stating that “kilowatts don’t just fall out of the sky.”
“That electricity has got to come from somewhere,” he said. “It’s not going to come from solar farms and wind turbines.”
EVs like those sold by Tesla are a scam.

I don’t believe that it’s Biden. He doesn’t know what hemisphere he is in. It’s the Democratic Party under the direction of Obama. He laid the foundation in his first term as well as the second on both domestic and foreign affairs. Now in his third term it is on steroids.

Please point out one thing that's not true in the post. Can't just call something BS and not explain how, unless of course you have nothing...

LMAO at dotards and being in a cult. Yet you see President Biden as some great leader. Everything this guy and his administration has done has had disastrous results. From day one declaring to put big oil out of business. Even a 3rd grader might of thought before putting something we're dependent on out of business we should start building our infrastructure first. Of course he botched Afghanistan, has botched our Nations security at our borders, used the DOJ and FBI as his own private police force and even doing what many countries he blames for going after political rivals. He has used his office to enrich his family with our enemies. He has used the DOJ, IRS, and the FBI to try to stop investigations into him, his son, his family and even trying to do that the Republican Party has found 20 overseas LLC's where millions of dollars went to 9 members of the Biden family. Fired a prosecutor in Ukraine which was looking in to where his son was on a board and he told Dad to get this guy fired or they'd be busted for corruption. Then Joe and Hunter both took bribe money. Biden has turned our country upside down to the point that he now has the lowest numbers in history. And that's just the tip of the iceberg and YOU say THE REPUBLICANS ARE A CULT??? AND are drank the Kool aid??? Sorry to inform you but those still loyal to the worst president and VP in modern times have to be the dumbest, least educated, idiots this country has ever seen. There's a reason the right has started an Impeachment inquiry. Unlike the one Dems used on Trump from a dnc and Hillary fake Steele Dossier, and the only penalties that were died out were fines? Well 💩 for brains, we'll be taking our country back from the idiots you voted in because the worst administration in modern times is hurting to many American citizens who want our Corrupt In Chief and the dumbacraps OUT.

Lol, when there’s enough evidence to charge Biden with 91 felonies we can have this conversation.

Bidenomics sure is working, credit card debt is on an all time high and with Dems in charge expect it to go much higher. With diesel prices at all time highs only because of Democrats failures everything will keep rising in price due to everything in our country is brought in using diesel power. The only people becoming richer seems to be the Biden family and that's because they are NOT paying TAXES on most of it and they're all being protected by the DOJ, FBI and IRS.
Thank God for Republicans doing an Impeachment Inquiry of the Worst President in our History, it's just a shame he's wrecked our Economy, invited millions of illegal immigrants, gangs, murderers, rapist, terrorist, drugs, human, sex, traffickers and costing tax payers hundreds of Billions of dollars a year to feed, house, school, health, and now our own citizens are neglected, kicked out of assisted living to make room for non-citizens and making our homeless population even worse. In places like a once gloating about being a Sanctuary state and the city New York has reversed their law about the Right to Shelter is now no longer law because now they see just how horribly expensive to have a fraction ( 100,000) of the nations illegal immigrants our border states have. So many of our large blue city politicians are now turning on our President because they're getting too many of the illegals Biden has let in. Serves them right, they just laughed at the Republicans on the border, now they're just getting a little taste of justice and they're crying it's an emergency because of getting bus loads of illegals, not to mention that Biden was and still is flying illegals to them in the wee hours of the am.

The Republicans can’t even keep the government running. Do you know how devastating it is to the local economy when Yosemite has to close?

I love my new electric vehicle. Ironically California doesn’t want a battery recycling plant, Nevada said will take it ($$$) , it’s called Redwood, seriously.

Sometimes everyone has to take a hit in order to stop the BS! So take the hit locals to Yosemite, or do you love high fuel and your country being invaded?
