Jackson Jambalaya

Who wants to spend a couple of hours stranded in one place inside the city of Jackson?

All Copper stolen in 3…2…1

Pudgy is going to kiss Antard's butt until the minute Horhn takes the oath. No need to hide it now.

Don't worry about the billions of gallons of sewage in the waterways, or the coal burned to make the electricity; these chargers are cLeAn eNeRgY

Thunderous applause from the purple-haired bohemians in Fondren. Don't tell them that power was generated by natural gas.

I wonder long charging stations will last. Jackson can't have planters on the sidewalks without them being vandalized.

Sh*t, we can't even have street lights in the median of the Interstate highways that run through Jackson, without the copper wire being stripped out. It was so bad the Department of Transportation decide to stop repairing them.

This is a 100% cynical, empty gesture by Entergy.

Cleaner? Greener? What do these libs think electricity comes from? Let me help them out: Coal and oil. Morons.

Yep, lots of residents of Jackson drive EVs. Right? Is this another friggin' grant with contract steering to the installer? Right?

90 % of Jacksonians cant even afford an Electric Car.

Sweet! Just hours after Trump announced all EV subsidies are getting cut! Brilliant!

Speaking of copper theft...
KF, can you look into why the interstate lights on I-20 near Ellis Ave have been off for years? I have heard that it was due to copper theft, but I would think by now they could come up with a solution to secure the wiring better?? That area is so dark.

How much electricity does Lumumba burn opening and closing that tall metal gate he lives behind?

@2:52 I will save KF the trouble.

It was theft.

MDOT replaced the copper cables once, it cost taxpayers $20k per light due to high copper prices at the time, and then JPD let them get stolen again.

MDOT announced they will not be replaced since JPD are too incompetent to prevent the theft.

Also, the legislature took MDOT’s law enforcement arm and merged them with DPS. So they can’t do anything themselves to police that corridor.

Anyone can feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I forgot, and natural gas.

So you want KF to shed some light on the problem?

Based on my observation, I would say that there are plenty of chargers already located in the city of Jackson - manufactured by Dodge.

@2:15 and 3:28 you also forgot nuclear fission reactors.

Leave it to Democrats to be a few steps behind common sense.

Yall are so sad…

I drive an ev, it’s great. No real maintenance is required, the motors are smoother and more powerful. Some of you seem to think that electricity coming from natural gas somehow means the electric car is polluting as much as a gas burner. That’s simply not true and never has been. Smaller motors are always less efficient than a large power plants.

EV’s are just better in every aspect except for road trips where it takes longer. That won’t be the case much longer as battery and charging tech improves. Either way, ev’s are here to stay and they won’t be made in America since we are abandoning the tech and relying on outdated gassers. It sucks everything has to be politicized instead of just going with the better option. China is making great strides though and will sell the majority of cars to Americans in 10 years or so. Another industry lost to stupid politicians and their worshippers.

Are these destination chargers that will take several hours to charge a car or are they fast chargers?

When you plug in a Tesla to charge, you can't make the car drive away until you unplug... It would suck like hell to be stranded inside that car unable to leave if some native Jacksonians happen to pull up to rob you while you are charging..

So Entergy gets a climate participation trophy for doing this. No doubt Entergy will pass along its costs to low usage ratepayers like me.

A Tesla with the “Ludicrous Speed” upgrade is still the fastest vehicle on four wheels.

Toyota has seen their future as as distant third behind BYD (China) and Tesla and have partnered with BYD to put the final nails in the coffin of the US Internal Combustion Engine car industry. https://en.byd.com/news/toyota-and-byd-announce-rd-company/

When you have to replace your litium batterieS - ben dover.

Lifetime duration of 2 weeks.

How about more public transportation, sidewalks, and bike paths? As mentioned, the great majority of Jacksonians can't afford an EV. And, the continuously pilfered universal charging "guns" will sell quickly on eBay.

I’d be too afraid of the Blue Hair Gestapo engraving their brand into the side of my Tesla. Plus all the Meff addicts gonna be looting the copper so I don’t see those chargers lasting too long.

5:13, my Honda gas-burner should still be on the road 15-20 years from now. In 8 to 10 years your EV will be worthless because a new battery will cost more than the book value of your vehicle.

3:39 for today's WIN - and in a big way.

Americans' excitement about electric cars has dwindled in recent years, but it has now dropped to its lowest level since 2019, according to a report from AAA.

Only 16% of US adults say they're "very likely" or "likely" to purchase an EV as their next car, down from 25% in 2022. The percentage of consumers who said they are "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to purchase an EV rose from 51% in 2022 to 63% in 2025.

Interest in EVs Plummets to Lowest Level Since 2019

These cynical comments are subtly giving off jealous energy…

Besides Trump cutting EV subsidies, Delbert passed a large extra tax on EVs in MS.

I have friends with an EV, and they love them. Indeed, a few just put charging stations at their home. Their home stations are just plugs on an exterior wall. And, yes, they've taken long trips with zero difficulty. If you have a brain, you can find where to recharge before your trip.
Some of you either don't travel or aren't observant when you do. Or you go through life winging it or unable to adapt to change.
You will always be behind the times.

An electric charger like a hellcat? How does an electric one go Bbbbrrraaaaapppppp when you get down on it?

Amen. Crab in a buckets overload this blog

The wiring will be gone in a week. The homeless will have it stripped smoking crack at these libs doorstep. Mark my words.

Where does a person find the adapter where you can charge a flip fone at one of these?

Can Mayor-elect Horne do is a solid and assume office already? These things will work in a similar fashion as do the new parking system, i.e., they will not. E-Z payment options will be offered. Not a single one will work.

I have no problem if a person wants to drive an EV. Have at it. What I detest are the groups of people who think they know best and want to force the rest of the population to live their way. By the way, you are dreaming if you think the power grid could manage even 25% of replacing the gas-burners with EVs. There's just no way. I'll keep my gas-burning vehicle, thank you very much.
