Climate has always and will always change. Interesting is the FACT that 40 years or so ago the concern was global cooling. Lacking was Al Gore to line his pockets, have a huge carbon foot print while telling us we should.........

My two favorite aspects of the "climate change" scam are:

a) Leonardo Dicaprio, U.N. global ambassador for climate change, flying to conferences in a private jet. This was in addition to the time he borrowed a Saudi prince's yacht and sailed it from the Mediterranean to Brazil using something like 6,500 gallons of diesel fuel.

b) All the politicians and Hollyweird stars that are telling you to hide under your bed from the climate change boogie man and how you are going to drown in rising ocean waters are busy building multi-million dollar homes on the beach.

But back on topic----at one point I owned 5 properties, now I have only 1, and I'm much happier.

They would need:

2 homes.
2 wardrobes at each house.
2 cars.
2 tax bills.
2 heating/cooling bills.
2 yard maintenance contracts.
2 doctors/dentist etc.
And someone to check on each house for 6 months.

We in TV thank you for sharing your wealth.

Thanks for being so concerned for us. Sorry you can’t leave.

It seems very hypocritical to tell people to spend $65K on an electric vehicle, spend trillions of tax dollars on an infrastructure of charging stations, but, apparently, it is fine to have 2 or 3 vacant houses being heated and cooled with fossil fuels.

The home prices here years ago were pocket change compared to the Northeast. Turned out well

Well he is so important to the world that we must all make sacrifices so he can live in the comfort he think he deserves. He does have a huge ego

For those able to purchase a $65,000 electric vehicle and own 2-3 vacation homes probably don't live in The Villages. I'm happy for their success.

There are 5 snowbird houses on my street that have been vacant for 6 months. The heat pumps run every day, the sprinker systems come on, and the landscapers come to mow the lawns. My point is that a few electric vehicles wouldn't come close to offsetting the amount of fossil fuels being burned for those houses that aren't even being used. Why such a strong focus on electric vehicles?

Wow this thread went south fast, those who seem angry some have more than one house, those who want electric cars, but not pay for infrastructure, and those who have, are just happy with their own life, and could give a crap how you live yours

My opinion, if you want an electric vehicle - you should get one. I think you should only be allowed to charge it via solar panels and/or a windmill attached to your garage. No plugging into the electrical grid. That way, you won't be a hypocrite.

Another worthless thread, causing more trouble than good.

Because if the people who have multiple homes are forced to buy electric vehicles, they will have to sell all of their homes except for one since their vehicle will no longer have the range to travel between their homes.

I pray I'll be dead when electric cars become mainstream and at my current age it's very possible.

There are many but don't forget Steven Spielberg and his jet. This is a quote from the NY Post:

A private jet belonging to Steven Spielberg has burned more than $116,000 worth of jet fuel since June despite the famous Hollywood director’s past warnings about global warming, according to a flight tracking database. These elites are full of that stuff we flush down the toilet each day.

Different strokes for different folks. If you have the cash, live where you want and avoid the humidity. Oops spoke to fast. It is now 90+ degrees in Western Canada
