Welcome everyone for the afternoon show here on
Blink Radio WQF
94.5.
I have with me something
that is kind of a treat for me
because I get the learn. Hopefully, you will
learn from it too, and it's about alternative
energy. I have Javier,
an energy expert expert, and he works in
the field, the invent stuff. He's a rub
believer in it.
And
changed my mind because I'm very very very
wary about a world gone, solar and a
world gone electric,
And, you know, I find that to be
massive
toxic environment to mine these rare minerals. Am
I wrong about that. How are you today?
Javier are? Oh, very good. Thanks for having
me, Manny? Yes. I
Javier brother and I went to high school
together.
And that's in a bizarre way
through a mutual acquaintance,
I believe someone who just tied him up
for The rest of his life, his wife
introduces me to you javier a year. And
I must admit your your wife is better
looking than you. Yeah For sure.
And from what you're telling me, you got
plenty of information about,
not only
solar power, electric power and all that, and
you can somehow
bring us to today's politics,
here locally and samples our way. But something
you said yesterday about coming here today was
the probability
and the likelihood and the pla,
is the question of propane gas. So late
on us. That's definitely true Today's, 7 called
the quarter billion dollar school bus scam.
Quarter billion dollar school bus game. And we'll
get on that day. But like you said
cool but. Everybody in my knows about school
and I. That's correct.
And
so this show today it's brought you by
Kimberly Belt Tran. Running for School board, Miami
dade school board, District 9.
This is the 1 that found you very
handsome and I was happy that at 1
time. Yeah. And then you had a bunch
of hair and you grew to keep your
hair it. So can your brother's bald though.
That's true.
Haven't seen in 30 years and I could
predict that. Okay. So Kimberly Belt tried running
for school board, District 9. Please vote for
August fifth to August twentieth.
That's anywhere from Pine crust, down to Florida
City. So if you live in the village
of Pine crust, the village of Palm Bay,
the town of Cutlery Bay, City of homestead
center, Florida City. In many great communities in
between.
You will see the first name on the
ballot is Kimberly T Belt tran, and she
approves the information we're gonna discuss.
Approve this message.
So that's aj.
This... And brought you to to do to
bring everything you got in terms of electric
power. This is what motivated you to discuss
this because
somehow it was appropriated to get a bunch
of electric school buses like Kamala Harris marijuana.
Yeah. Definitely. Well, you know, there's first in
an overview. There's been a big paradigm. Shift
in k 12 education. Due to the school
choice thing. You know a school choice and
the 8000 dollar vouchers? Yes. That now follows
the student. So it doesn't stay in the
public school system.
That for school choice,
it's almost like the student had a scholarship
for 8000 dollars that covered everything at a
public school tuition fee. Because that number was
higher for public schools was higher. Not 100
or...
That's low compared to New York Philadelphia, Boston.
That's but
Yeah. School choice
really voucher program, not necessarily... It is school
choice, but it was definitely provoked by
I think it's 700 of different charter schools
that are around the states. Correct. So the
board could if they wanted to
allocate. Or mis allocate money for, say, pet
projects, things that'll earn them political points with,
you know, donors are lobbyists, but that 8000
dollars never left the school. If meaning if
they went to private school charter pro,
they lost that money. Right? Now, as you
know,
there's competition,
you have to run the school board like
a business. Basically, every public school
is in competition with other schools, All other
schools can. As it should be, that's how
students get educated. Exactly. So when the guy
down the street,
he's a little smarter than your kid,
you you put pressured your kid to get
better grades. That's correct. So the 8000 dollars
leaves the school if the student leaves the
school and enroll at 1 of those other
private or charters or even home? Yes. So
the opposition to Kimberly Be. I'll just... Her
name is Luis Santos. Don't know much about.
I'll just call her the opposition throughout this
Shouldn't you repeat her name because the audience
needs to know? Santos. Lose Santos. On nobody
matter. She's an incumbent.
Exactly.
She's in her... She's she slipped in there
somehow. Early thirties, 20 years younger. She she
plays balls. She likes her growing school. I
know it... She's. In other words, the nemesis.
I really mine. I only know about her
that she's... Has no children. And... And so
she on the school board. How appropriate. Yeah.
She's Kinda like the head of the
In nationally.
She doesn't have children either.
Can't explain to me how you can educate
children. They really understand.
The likelihood that a child will or will
not understand the information.
If you're not a parent yourself. If there's
like a And I know teachers... I there's
a lot of. That don't have children either,
but come on, man.
I think it's critical, obviously. Obviously. So...
Yeah. So what does she wanted to by
way, you can find out all about kimberly
Belt trends,
platform on kimberly belt trend dot com. She's
20 years older, and her early fifties.
Has 25 years of legal experience? Animal.
And mom, That's the most important point. Mom
of a teenage son?
So how much does the option to want
want to spend extra on just the bus
purchases.
It comes out to about a quarter of
a billion dollars. Can you believe that? Because
the benefit by way of just 10 percent
of the students, only 10 percent of all
my accounting students are on a daily route.
Others may get on for a activity or
such, but 10 percent. Well, we know that
the the the Miami version. Miami designated part
of Mass Academy here in Virginia Key. Those
kids take planes, trains on automobiles to get
that school. The whereas we helicopter they're in
range rover.
So to come to our portion. By the,
the entire transportation operating budget for the school
board is about 93000000 dollars. So to spend
a quarter of a billion. Again, on just
bus buses.
Sound disgusting. So how are the buses powered
today? Basically, it's diesel. 94 percent diesel, the
rest are gas.
This is because
years ago, remember the whole big thing, have
to go diesel because the global warming thing.
Now, you're saying that 93000000 is per school
or
because the budget of miami dade County Bonus
schools is larger than they
is the transportation operating budget. Sorry. You gotta
clarify that to my.
That's correct. Just wanna make sure you got
that straight because wages. People don't realize that
the school board is large in the miami
dade County government gets more in taxes by,
like, a hundred so 250000000
dollars. Every year.
That's just... It's in the billion
transportation only, excluding plus purchases. Very important that
they understand that. Okay. By the way, we're
live stream worldwide, WSUF
radio dot com, all over the world. So
if you got friends and other parts... Oh
of town. You can tell them the bluetooth
to their phone to listen to...
I wanna call doctor Belt, but, you know,
I don't know if we got the doctor
or not, but go ahead. You're the x
not. No for you. So someone asked me
today to say, if Had a magic wand,
and I could say, hey, x percent of
the school bus is gonna be powered by
this source, x percent by that. What would
it be? This is now all diesel, Basically,
94 percent diesel.
And I say, well, I'd go on 80
20. 80 percent propane
and 20 percent gasoline. Can the diesel,
bus be retrofitted for probate or no? They
cannot know. Cannot... Diesel is a heavy it
runs different. It's an internal combustion engine, but
it's compression
ignited, not spark ignited.
The propane is exactly like a regular gasoline
car, which most people have. Exactly like that
with a different fuel system. So that would
be expensive. Everything else is exactly. Just change
then that would be expensive Correct. Everything
is exactly the same on a regular gasoline
car as a propane just the fuel system.
But a diesel was a different type of,
so you cannot retrofit them.
It's a good a question because you know
in Europe, they have several what's called bi
fuel cars. They're both regular gasoline
and propane.
From the inside, you just do a switch.
Switch. 1 to another. And doesn't affect the
carburetor and the system 2 fuel systems 2
tanks. Also well. Mazda has 1 audi. Can
propane be fuel injected or no? Yes. It
is fuel injected. Wow. What happens it gets
compressed, a hundred hundred and 50 Psi, so
very light compression.
Like the p nomadic tools you may have
down... Compression, you hit the barbecue wanna sell
about propane tanks. Yeah. We're gonna talk a
lot about propane. This is the exact same
propane when you go to public Cc see,
there's tanks outside. Yeah. That's it. The same
propane. It's up. This is about It's called
Lp liquefied propane. And it's... In Europe, they
have them in every gas station as opposed
to here that don't have them anywhere. They
don't have an every gas station. But they
happens more than here. Yeah. But Why do
you think we have Because there's not enough
money in it? Or why is the petroleum
companies?
And they're making such an effort to to
going to the deep into the earth to
get petroleum,
where do they find propane? Is it a
derivative? Or they actually find same reservoir? It's
in derivative of natural gas. So
it's says you know, natural gas is methane.
Yeah. So it's methane, propane, butane, all the
aims, have the same properties. Yeah. Derivative And
as, you know, we use natural gas to
power? Is it expensive to extract the propane
from the natural gas? Nope not at all.
Wow. And It just comes right. So we're
just brain dead people. We just don't really
wanna do it. Yeah. And I have all
the stats on that. So here a source.
I'm just thinking like, a money... My audience
is thinking. If they're thinking it, And I'm
thinking it that we're probably kinda ask you
about. Yes. So I'll go 80 percent propane
20. That's based on today's technology and
anticipated technological advancements.
I can look at about... 8 years, 5
to 8 years and say, here's where technology
is gonna be. We can't look out 30
40 years, but that's where I see.
And that's what I based on. Basically, what's
happening today is, you know, I remember in
high school had up my first computer, it
was a called the 2 86.
Or? I it was an Intel.
Today's propane buses.
Are,
like today's iphones. But these electric school buses
are like the old 2 86 computer. It's
just antiquated technology. It doesn't... It just and
a huge battery. You're told me it's thousands
and thousands of pounds. Yes. So I'm not...
This talk here today is not about Evs,
E cars.
Regular cars like Tesla. It's specifically about
school buses are heavy. Basically, anything over 10000
pounds.
So
Tremendous burden on our road. I'll give me
the stat on that basically and how it
works.
But Tesla has about close to set the
model s has about 7000 batteries. These are
little batteries, just like the size that's in
your phone. Right? And it's assembled that so
you think 1 battery. It's a battery pack,
but it's about 7000 batteries.
All test has 12000.
The school bus
has over 16000 these batteries.
Okay. Here's the kicker.
What's the range on a Tesla, 03:50,
right? 03:50 miles good range because it's a
hundred kilowatt hour battery. Those 6 7000 is
a hundred kilowatt hours.
That mean they went out there.
The school I don't get the do 0
there. School buses that they just... Yeah. The
school buses they bought are a hundred and
55.
Which Color so wait a hundred. Kilowatt I
was in a Tesla weighs like 4500 pounds.
The school buses weigh over 35000
pounds.
So 01:55, the new ones are now they.
Show of energy production per weight is ridiculous
Not even close. Negative. So the range, we're
gonna get as the range of a school
bus. Is about a hundred miles. And if
it breaks, the whole damn bus breaks, and
you can't fix it. You can't repair it
either to replace a battery it, you don't
replace battery it. You have a 100 mile
range. Anything over 10000 pounds
electrification doesn't make sense right now. And know...
Well, for many, many years.
Oh my god. It's something called range anxiety.
A lot of the bus driver, So why
why would Tesla get involved in Mac trucks
and,
you know, freighter, freight trucks and
that's that's a roost too there looking right
now. Yeah. Jesus because of these trucks can
only deliver Cargo a hundred miles
in that business, you'll lose money. The majority
of Tesla's business is in the regular cars.
Okay. Bottle. Ass and small. So so him
talking about these big trucks is Roost. Yeah.
For now. It's just propaganda
keep him going and that kind of So
what I mean by technological technology. Basically,
the
the electronic busted the technologies in the batteries
that we've been talking about. Any technological advancement
is gonna be in the battery. You're just
like, how does the battery get more powerful.
Right now, it's not even close. You have
a hundred mile range.
You know, these buses are called the Blue
bird vision bus. They make them. The same
company, Blue bird out of macon in Georgia.
They make the electric bus, they make the
propane bus. They they make both.
They say a hundred and 20 to a
hundred and 30 mile an hour range,
I talked to many transportation directors. A lot
of this information. I give you here is
me talking to transportation directors of school districts
around the country. When you turn the... It
says in the Blue brush, if you use
the air conditioning, it's about 25 percent less.
So it's not lower That's mandatory with so
many kids in the butt. We're all using
their air conditioner. Clear mind. Right? Especially right
now. In Florida I imagine.
Budget kids in a school bus without air
conditioning. So the technology,
is in the battery for the electronic bus.
Where's the technology and propane? It's in the
actual propane. So you mentioned before how you
get it? Yes. You can get out of
the ground,
Propane now can also be
manufactured makes called renewable propane, biofuels.
You can make it from animal fats, animal
wastes. Oh my god. Oil. A plant called
the Camel plant.
There's all this information online on how to
make it. The problem right now is it's
not scalable.
You could buy it. And it's over triple
the cost.
Propane now for a school district is under
a dollar a gallon. K.
It's about... Close to 3 dollars you want
renewable. So it's there, but that's where the
technology will take. It only means
that this industry would take off if...
This cool system got behind propane, school buses.
It'd be a reason to build these manufacturing
plants and expand the business and go and
extract the propane. That's correct. Yeah. Jesus lord.
He when government
is needed. There nowhere to be found.
Because, you know, I don't see you and
I.
Having confidence in a propane gas
car. And unless our neighbor gets 1 and
speeds off faster than us, and then we
say, wow. I want 1.
But I remember sitting in a Tesla,
and the reason why I despise it other
than the fact that,
you know,
having wife is 1 thing, but having 2
wives and other things, 2 different Genetics, and
it tesla's is a wife. Got a charger
her all the time. She runs out of
charge,
She's a problem. She acts up. Another wife
is at the charging station, and she's got
charge too. And I seen her here on
the key. How people just have to walk
away for 3 or 4 hours to have
their cars charges. Correct. Especially the people who
don't have chargers in condos.
It's not a valuable Western.
Economy is not. Right now it's not.
I don't never be. All that said if
someone wants to tesla go for. I mean,
it's kinda fun. They're pretty cool, but you're
not buying it for the environment. You're not
buying it because you're d.
Well, I must say fast as all hell.
You're buying it because it's fun. Yeah. I
remember being on a red light and if
Tesla, I was a passenger. You're and I
couldn't believe the acceleration. I didn't like that
feeling of so fast so quickly. Right. So
quietly,
And I felt like it was... Last time
I felt that way, you know,
I was in a porsche, and I don't
like porsche for that reason either, just too
damn fast. Now I wants to have g
forces up against you, just because you accelerate
from a red light. I mean, god. Terrible.
Terrible. But this propane thing is fascinating,
and
I would love to know who is the
first company that goes public to scale propane,
generated cars. Because that's definitely the future. I
mean, so obvious.
Did you think it's gonna be green hydrogen?
It's very hard to get hydrogen.
Hard to make it. It's unstable. It's just
you know, it's very fl, but how do
you get hydrogen? Believe it or not there's
17000
hydrogen auto automobiles in this country today, all
in California.
The problem is it's just like a novelty.
They don't want... They said they were gonna
build a bunch of hydrogen stations, and there's
just... There's a few and a of them
don't have any hydrogen in them. So
Almost like a novelty to city. Oh my
gosh. You go to the gas station, they're
they don't have them in their tanks. I
visualize that as the future. Wow. 30 years
Why do you say that over propane.
It means
acceleration or what? Well, Torque?
It's pure hydrogen. Propane is a hydrocarbon. It's
basically C3H8, so it's 3 carbon
that is binding
8 hydrogen.
You need the carbon to binds they call
it stable hydrogen.
To to bind it.
And remember, it could be produced. It's the
same. When you say the buying that is
to be explosive in the carburetor for it
to blow up. Threat to generate for you
to transport it to l it? To, press
it and it and to move it around.
Oh, it's almost impossible to do that with
pure. Why are you skipping? Why why aren't
you
coming on my team here about propane. You
don't have to do that with Definitely. Hydrogen
is to get it in a liquid form
to get it in a form usable.
Has be compressed to 10000 Ps psi. Yeah.
And... Therefore, it becomes a hazard on the
road. It's impossible tanker blows it blows to
kingdom customer. That Elon musk would have done
that if it was right now. It just
can't be done.
Wow. So
well, anyway, I'm interrupting you because I'm really
obsessed. With what you said about propane cars
and propane school buses. But you seem to
be skipping it, like, if there's some... Something
political like, that'll keep us from never seeing.
Let's get on a whole talk about propane
here. First I wanna get the the opposition
position down just on the record.
Here's her... Her position is called is to
d
everything.
She has 2 positions. Basically.
What is to elect.
All the school buses by 20 30.
Electro electrified school buses by 23 and then
d carbon the electric grid by going solar.
Please. Now these go hand in glove. Well,
you could solar you can solar panel,
like, a a particular school. Oh. But I
bet you I wouldn't run. They're conditioning 24
cents. Right.
I believe it'll keep the lights on and
the teacher's projector running.
But and maybe the cafeteria,
refrigerators and stuff. But to keep it cool,
like, you think soda the park can drive,
a commercial Ac 24 7. Keep... Wanna keep
listening about minutes we're gonna get to solar.
Okay. Great. Alright. Go for propane. And I'll
shut up for.
Again, she want to elect all the school
buses and then d the power grid by
going solar. These are linked together why. Think
about it.
The daily... The recharging of the batteries. That's
why. That electric school bus is tied to
the energy grid. Right? Visualize a cable,
that goes directly from the bus,
the so called clean bus over to grid.
Basically, to turkey point. Right? Then you gotta
fill it up with nuclear power to generate
further the grid. Turkey points about 72 percent
nuclear power. There is. A methane powered methane
gas fired turbine, which is about 28 percent.
So there's 3... For emergency reasons. I... No.
It's actually a cut right. When they refuel
a the nuclear every 18 months, it's down
28 days. And no, it also provides
the base load is nuclear, like, over overnight...
And then the added the
afternoon Rush so that when power goes higher,
that's when they use the gasp fired. Both
of those are on constantly.
Nuclear is very different difficult to temper down
to lower the power. So it's
20 473 65, it never stops. There's always
nuclear power there.
Gas is almost the same way. It's fired,
but you can increase or decrease it easier.
So I wanted to get her, like, positioned
down.
She did a hole.
Show called d,
America's third largest school district or d carbon.
This is miss Santos. That's correct. Yeah. So
this is the opposition. And she in a...
She's in a public forum or an interview.
Is an interview see it on Youtube, but
with opportunity in Miami. Okay. Interview.
This So do you think that the third
biggest school district in the country will be
able to be powered
by clean energy by 20030. I'm 100 percent
committed to doing everything in my power to
make that happen, and I do believe we're
making great strides in that direction. Okay. Just
wanna make sure that when you, like, this
is her thing. She is spear this whole
thing.
The whole mission of... Come on, man. That
was that was, you know, that was a
tease That wanted to hear more brain than
this Year. You heard the word clean there.
Clean. What does even mean by clean energy?
This is what I call the clean hose?
This is 1 of the most important thing.
What is the clean hooks? When do you
think of clean? What do you think?
Clean means healthy. Right?
Unclear
unhealthy. Right. Does that happen anything to do
with carbon and the of this global warming
thing?
Not at all.
I believe it...
It probably does, but it's not intended That
way. It's intended to eliminate fossil fuels entirely.
The clean hoax is that carbon dioxide emissions,
which is the global warming think. Is the
same thing as local air pollution,
which I don't want local air pollution either.
Local air pollution is which causes
member acid rain
smog, both of those have been pretty much
eliminated.
And, of course, in lungs, asthma,
bronchitis,
Copd,
want all that eliminated. I want our air
imma.
I'm an environmental. The Belgian are environmentalists. We're
just environmental who can do math. Okay? We
don't wanna spend trillions on a problem. That
doesn't exist. So she's equating
con 2 separate unrelated issues. Taking advantage of
people's,
naive
again Let's get just to get a little
technical for a second. The...
What's unhealthy about diesel gases is what's called
the nox, the socks and the particulate matter.
Yes that's technically nitrogen
oxide, sulfur oxide in particulate matter.
That's in diesel gas today.
Those are not and propane. So propane is
a solution to that. That's the key. Propane.
About 90 percent of the nox is eliminated,
propane as opposed to
diesel, and the sox is limited, and there's
no particulate matter
at all. Particular matters imp
impurities...
With remember the old days, you, you're behind
a diesel and they Florida and you saw
that black smoke out. Right? That is the
particular matter. I know Yes. And they're very
loud too.
I'm definitely not promoting diesel. Right? Yeah I
yeah diesel sucks.
I remember used to drive around in a
diesel peugeot show.
Never forget it. Nothing was noisy. Yeah. They're
noisy. And again, we're doing the big diesel
Ut now. The the power of Visa. You
gotta go diesel because they're more efficient. They
put out less carbon and there. It's all
this carbon tunnel vision. Whatever it takes is
get rid of carbon because it's warming. We'll
talk about that later. It's warming the planet.
Who lose that. Global warming. I don't believe
that. It is the question is how much
and most importantly, what should we do about
it? What's your solution to? Yeah Right? So
she said,
checks actually called carbon toxic also.
You know, there's a lot of things that
are toxic in this world, but it it
Is carbon 1 of them. His carbon actually
toxic. Well, I personally think Democrats are talking.
Sorry. I just had to throw that 1
out there. Like put it in about the
toxicity... Because we... In the afternoon show, yeah,
where the concrete conservative, you know, I had
to stick it to...
Yeah. So toxicity.
There was a
a presentation done the school board a few
years ago,
and it was about a girl who a
student who did a science project. On the
toxicity. Here's her talking about that. Of, 1
student who
came to the school board because she, as
a science project decided she was... Point to
measure
emissions outside of the bus drop off lane
at her school, and it became really evident
that they were really toxic point it you
know. They were breathing toxic air at the
school and for the bus driver at
Toxic air. Okay. And some girl measured it.
I went back and listen to see. All
the School beans are online on video. And
so I'm back and listen to the whole
thing. Okay.
The toxic air... I call this the toxic
deception. The toxic air is about nox and
socks.
This whole podcast is called. This shows when
It's called d
about
Carbon. She's implying, deceiving say, hey, carbon
dioxide is what's toxic.
Well, we we excel that every every day.
That's why, hey, just exactly. That's why, hey,
you just gotta go electric. That solves a
problem. Well, what about? This was a whole
my breath too? Exactly.
Well, as, you know, the carbon sink is...
You're at the trees, rainforest.
Yeah. It absorbs. They absorb about 45 percent
of what we put. Biggest problem is that,
you know, taking down the Amazon is not
helping things. Their claim is that
the healthy level of carbon dioxide is I'm
gonna get into some small numbers here is
0.03
percent.
Point 028 to 0.03.
So
Very quick 30 seconds, go back to elementary
school. What's the air breathing now. The old
78 21. 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent auction.
What's the other 1 percent? They're called trace
gases.
What of those is carbon dioxide?
They say that point 0427 is way too
high it's been going up from 0.03 for
1 for decades. What a rocket. And that's
what's warming up. And then they get you
United agents on board and the climate dermatologist
and all this
scam, and then they run a whole political
movement in all these western
economies on this.
Just to extract
very poisonous, rare, earth minerals in the ground,
which is more toxic than anything that they're
talking about. That's
You could find a tons of videos on
Joe Rogan do about that Yeah. Folks just
ag Google images, rare Earth mineral minds, worldwide.
There in 1, there's 1 that isn't in
a mile wide, Not 1
because you can't scale it. If it's that
enormous, and it's out of nowhere. And then
sometimes it's in the most impoverished and impoverished
nations of the world where you got kids...
Handling it with their hands and their feet
and their barefoot.
My goodness Artisan liners yet. Wow. There's a
lot of problems with that. So to close...
What we just heard. She said they were
quoting. You... They were really toxic. You know,
they were breathing toxic air at the school
and for the bus drivers. I went back
and listened to the whole thing. I don't
okay. The carbon dioxide that she measured was
half a percent, 0.5 half percent.
That is within...
The permissible exposure limit with Osha for any
factor that... Providing that her tools as a
kid. Right.
Tools were accurate and all. It's a handheld
co2 meter. You going any factory... Any warehouse,
they have meters in the wall,
c o meters in for and other things
too.
That meter for C is gonna go off
at 3 percent.
3. Is that's when it starts getting dangerous
3 percent and... And indoors.
What happens is carbon dioxide is it's not
poisonous. It's not toxic at all it's a
simple as fixing. Like many gases are. It
displace oxygen in the air. So if supposed
to be 21 na down to, it's 18,
then it becomes more dangerous. Obviously, it. If
it displace 5 or 6 percent. Right? You
may be choking.
This is displacing
1 half of 1 percent. Again, within the
limit, no beat will no 1 will ever
feel it.
But the implication on this,
Podcast she went on is hey, You know,
it's like, okay. Carbon
dioxide toxic. Here's our solution. We're gonna spend
an extra quarter billion dollars. Let me be
clear on the dollars here. It's not that
they're spending a quarter a billion dollars.
It's an extra quarter a billion dollars. And
they're gonna come out of somewhere. In other
words, if you bought, There's about a thousand
school buses might they kinda... Would you think
that it would actually public bond this money?
Create... They would create a debt buy school
bus. I'm gonna a quarter. When asked about
the money, she said, that will be figured
out. Oh, sure. Classic liberal. That'll be figured
out. So Yeah. Propane school bus is about
hundred and 10000 dollars.
The electric bus, about 360000.
About 02:30 extra plus the infrastructure of F
fp putting in the chargers and the burden
on the roads and everything because it's a
lot of weight. So it's a quarter million
dollars per bust times a thousand. That's where
I get the quarter... Remember in the turn
bikes, you'll see those lifts and stations all
over the turn bikes where these trucks have
to be weighed. There's a reason why they
have to weigh it because they're gonna tax
those trucks, based on the weight that they're
carrying because they're a burden to the asphalt
turn, and it has to be maintained.
Lot of weight a lot of speed often
damages roads. So now you're bringing that problem
to the city roads because of an incredibly
And guess what? Once the school bus
becomes electric. You know the city bus is
gonna become electric. I mean, that's just
obvious within 5 years that government buying their
city buses and they making those electric too.
There's a whole website called emissions analytics dot
com. All about the tires. It's a British
guy. All about tire missions. And basically, the
heavier of the vehicle, the more... So tires
have emissions. Guess what tires are made of.
Petroleum project Petroleum products. Called V volatile organic
compounds. Little things we don't see that's why
they wear out when it rains it gets
washed into our water. So you Not only
that, there's there's already. It's
car
factors behind rubber tires because
there's an increase in in cancer cases, of
people who play on astro turf athletic fields
because a little rubber Right. Chunks of rubber
inside the turf to keep you from blowing
out your knee.
Did people crying about that too. I remember
when we had that discussion to put athletic
fields on our village green here in Keep
us escape. I remember people coming with the
information.
And it didn't it didn't poo poo.
We needed that... We needed the turf more
than the grass because we couldn't create a
large enough hump,
for that, Athletic field to be drained properly
during rains and all that stuff because it
was just eating up,
you know, how many sports we had, How
many
genders we had, how many genders? Sorry.
I I just said I did that on
purpose. But, you know, Boys grows lots of
teens,
our beautiful field that we have, which is
only 1 field. Just was always rotten. And
we're always beaten up. So, yeah. We went
turf, but I remember 1 of the complaints
was that little rubber, which goes to what
you're saying about tires. Right. And the heavy
there are... The electric school bus is a
few tons heavier than the regular. So the
tires are gonna be changed faster is... So
little things like that. What's called the total
operating cost just the tires can change faster
their... 300000 now goes to a 325000
tires. Exactly. Not even talking about. So let's
talk propane. I know you wanna talk propane
before. You sell propane?
See and when you go to public... I
love I love protein because
it's really
it's comb combustible,
and,
it doesn't smell. You And it's and the
the order you do smell is only because
of a leak. It's a leak. It's very
distinct. The ethel mark captain and they put
in it for that specific reason, so you
can... From what you're telling me, man, That's
the way to go. So, yes, it's the
same propane as in your barbecue. There's some
stats on.
On that. It's it's very clean. Yeah. We
let it touch our food. Right? Yeah. So
it's a clean fuel. It's a very
light fuel
in a dryer fuel than gasoline or diesel.
So it's lighter under dryer. Not toxic. It's
listed by the Epa is what's called a
clean alternative fuel to gas or diesel. Under
the clean air act.
Most importantly, it's eligible for the clean school
bus program. This is a bus program, of
program
funds for school buses.
Of course, we wanna use it just for
electric buses here, miami to dade, but people
use it for electric, for propane or for
compressed natural gas.
That's a program.
It's gonna... Trump has said it's gonna keep
it, So it's not doesn't matter if who's
present. That's staying.
So this is an alternative fuel.
1 thing you'll find that, you know, the
opposition with what I call the Climate Ex.
What the the Always say is, we bought
these first 20 buses from this Volkswagen settlement.
Volkswagen is it's gonna be they cheated on
the on the Nox submissions with the Cadillac
converters. Yes. And we nab them for billions
of dollars. As part of those billions of
dollars.
If There was a mitigation trust. Right?
We took that money which went to... We
being florida, we north states. Florida... Holy United
States, Florida Got their piece of Miami dade
County school district got a piece of that.
And they spent to them on electric.
You could but
said, so it's paid for him. Could have
taken that same money and bought over triple
the propane buses
or if there's even other types. Of. You
can even bought diesel with what's called after
treatments and you I'm don't recommend that, but...
So
again, you know how politicians Rex. A little
facade. Well, we got it for free. Well,
you could have bought... Prepping for free times
the propane buses right? Consider all the money
that's wasted in other parts, you're gonna fill
those caps in the budget from the other
waste you created. And it's all about the
money as we started the top. Get to
save money. And your wife obviously wants to
correct all that. Of course. She has a
lot of programs. Every program she has.
Is mission specific. What can we do to
make the school fun again better? Would miss
Santos debate your wife?
Yes.
Not sure what and I think they may
have 1 scheduled. I'm not sure about that,
but... No, they're always welcome here. Blink radio
94 5 and keep sk. She would be...
Sit here and talking debate them. Definitely more
than happy to. You asked about propane yet.
It's the third most
used motor fuel in the world behind gasoline
and diesel.
Key thing. Don't know, for you especially. It's
produced here in the United States. We'd have
to get everything from. You usa baby. 30000000000
gallons. We have... We only use 10000000000 gallons.
We export 20000000000 gallons, approximately of propane last
year. And who's who's our big buyers in
China? Like... Not China,
the Eu, basically,
European Union,
mainly that... And that's a separate tanker and
everything right? Propane
is
you know, delivered differently. We ship it Yeah.
On and Lng tanks are enormous. Over the
Ceo. Yeah. We we... Again, it's compressed, so
it's l liquefied and then shipped that way.
Not flown. It's all usually Yeah. The water,
on the water. So again, it's liquid at
about a hundred hundred and 50 Psi. Again,
for
people listening for kind of a relative stake,
natural gas, it... You take about 4500 to
5000, that's a methane gas. 5000 Psi to
make it liquid. Hydrogen 10000.
So this is nothing. It's very like
Already becomes gas. I. I mean, And you
can't spill it When you fill up a
propane,
Remember, it's a gas just state at at
atmospheric pressure. So when you fill it up,
think of, like, a quick connect, it just
goes right in, press the button, and it
fills it up.
But 7, 8 minutes, you filled up
98 gallons.
Real quick. Not 3 and a half hours
to charge every night, like an electric bus.
No. When the... Most these people in condos
don't have charging stations in their building. So
they have to use the city owned
gas stations
charging stations, And I don't really know who
foot to bill. I think it's a company
called Blink, ironically, like Blink radio.
It's called Blink. That's what the side of
the meter say. I imagine they're getting the
getting the bill, and I imagine they're sharing
with a city in some respect.
Very very unfortunate, But you could see how
group think, and I was saying this the
other night to a group of
transportation officials at the,
discussing the re rick back or master plan.
And I said the biggest problem you all
has is group think. When you all get
together,
citizens come second, you guys appeal to each
other first.
And that's the saddest part.
And we have to change that. Right? It
starts with the school board and the line.
It really starts with a large group of
elected of people doing the right thing when
no one's looking.
And that's the biggest problem of the politician.
If no 1 can see that they're doing
good, what good is it?
That's correct. That's the biggest problem. It's
they don't wanna do the right thing on
nobody's looking because it doesn't garnish votes or
something.
They do the popular thing to get votes
to be able to say, like, this ding
bat.
I shouldn't say that. Let me take that
back because I do want debate here I'm
blink radio.
Calling calling the her... I think that doesn't
help my cause at all. So excuse me,
miss Santos. But you're pig get idea or
they're just they're just blew that 1 too.
Just it's so enormously expensive. How can you
think that that's okay? I don't get it.
Well, if you think about it, are these
is this new? Propane power isn't new to
other school? Districts have that?
Well, brow, not too far. Right? Has 224
of them. That's 22 percent of the daily
routes and brow, global our propane powered buses.
So we have problem. Well, they they didn't
tell us. Florida. It's it's almost 800.
Indian River County, it's a small county. It's
small district a hundred buses.
Percent, all of them, propane. They started in
2009.
They've been out this 15 years, a complete
feed of fleet of propane buses.
Wow
hundred And at the top hundred school districts,
about a third have some type of propane
buses in there. You'd Have I've talked to...
What how about they cali?
0.
Well, yeah. You know, miss Belt for
border Commission. Border commissioners man, get damn propane.
School bus. Blue bird, the company makes it
and There's only 1, so they have a
monopoly. Blue bird. No. They have Thomas a
few. They're probably the best. That's 1 thing
they've done while they selected probably the best
because they build just the bus, The actual
bus.
Specialized. Absolutely. The engine or the drive comes
from somewhere else. They've built about 1500. How
about their speed? Or they normal speed
propane goes just as fast as. Very similar
being a propane drives just like a car.
Okay. So if you've driven a diesel, like,
for bus drivers out there and have the
diesel so you have to step on the
gas pull the away. And then a it
builds up. Builds up. This is not. This
is a responsive. So electric is very similar
to regular car. Very responsive. Right when you
hit, You drive it like car. Right?
Bloomberg produced by the way about 1500 electric
buses. The last 6 years. They produced over
20000
propane buses in the last 60 months. Yeah.
So that means a government them to build
these electric bus. Again, what happens they build
the bus?
When you get some credit subsidy. What's the
premium for a propane it's about 6000 dollars
to a company called Ra. Or they put
the fuel system in its propane. That's the
only difference. Ra since ra racing, they put
the fuel system. Premium from an electric, 230000
dollars.
For the drivetrain, The battery, the inverter, the
electric motor, all that. Not a rack. It's
completely different. So you asked so what applications
is propane use. It's using race cars.
Again, ra racing has race cars. So propane...
It's a higher octane fuel. You know, the
87 89 that we have here in our
gasoline, 93 premium. It's a hundred and 408.
So it's a more efficient fuel. So you
these are you saying that all these races...
Racing teams are on propane? They're on gasoline
Routes just has 1 to drag. Drag. Oh,
drag. Okay. They use it because, you know,
they use that because they make...
Remove for these buses Exactly.
Propane is used in caterpillars, You know, forklift,
such. So anything big indoor warehouses.
We talked yesterday about the z bon. Yes.
Which is if you go to the Panthers
game, if you look at anywhere Nhl, those
ice res resurfaced.
You'll see. 2 big propane tanks inside, Those
are propane.
Why? Because it's made for Mid to heavy
duty. Anything over 10000 pounds. If you could
imagine that za bon if it was battery?
It'll be too heavy. It would crack the
ice. Right? So that's why they're propane.
So that's the application of. It's also used
as power generation, power generators.
You could to almost every Miami dade public
school. You'll find a propane tank somewhere in
the outside. Right? Little separated from the building
for backup for power generation. So it's the
same propane. This is nothing new... Nothing. Now,
is that also home gas for this propane
as well? Yes. We don't use much gas
in Florida for the... Like propane for that
Right? I remember are my my old house
in the seventies in West?
I remember sitting on that tank as a
little kid. It was a place to hang
out, sitting on the tank of against the
wall. Huge tank.
3 people could fit up there. Right. And
we were always there. Sitting there on that
tank because it's, like, a perfect... It created
a perfect lounge
between the round of the tank. And the
back wall of your house, you sat in
a lounge.
It is just natural for the kids who
sit there. You can use. Never forget it.
When I moved out here, that went away,
but I remember my parents had a had
a propane tank. I just wanted know if
it was propane, not some other gas. Probably
the propane. Used it for cooking. Yeah. We
don't needed much for heating in florida. It's
used for heating a lot in Northeast and
Northeast... For cooking. Pretty cool.
So well, let's talk about Let's just compare
the 2 buses. Let's do a quick 5
minute comparison about that.
Most people use what's called a turn diagram.
If you heard us like a triangle.
Where you look at the factors. Right?
What are the factors we're looking at taking
an evaluation tool. Right?
The 3 main factors are looking about It's
reliable?
Are they affordable?
And are they clean? By clean, of course,
now we mean healthy, healthy for your lungs,
Right? Not... For the environment. Not carbon clean.
Right? Okay. So that's evaluation tool.
Much of this information I get is from,
you get a website called better our buses
dot com. It's 1 long word. Better BETR,
our 0RBUSES
dot com. Better our buses dot com.
So what it looks at. Okay. Propane versus
electric.
The 3 main wins I just mentioned, reliability.
We talk about the range anxiety. Right? Of
electric buses. They go a hundred miles at
the most. You have to recharge them every
single night.
Yeah. But you also have to... Oh, I'm
designed. You have to design the route. Only
a hundred miles. We you can't leave people's
strength. The average route maybe kind about 83
miles. So you go for 70 to 90,
So you'll probably get through a day. For
But every single night, and it takes 3
and a half hours to reach each. And
the a huge power station somewhere.
It's all gonna be just 7 transportation centers.
For miami dade schools and miami dade. It's
gonna be. Like, there's a fueling station there
now for diesel.
Fp l is building the chargers right there
at the transportation are. But you basically need
1 per bus, maybe 1 for every 2
buses? Yeah. So you have to charge it
every single day. It gets powered by fossil.
They want it... And when do they wanna
charge? After 10PM when the rates are lower,
right, off peak. Okay.
And you know how... By the way, you
how Blue bird delivers these electric buses? They
told them to location because
They drive every
gas or propane bus. They drive the propane
buses to the destination. We order 50 hundred,
they're driving them all here. You order electric.
They're all being towed or lapping why because
they don't have
they don't have the range. And they know
that... We go down the street, the most
of the 1 by the way most of
the charges you see out there, like in
the public, They're what's called their Ac chargers.
So you can familiar with the Ac versus
dc.
The Ac alternate current takes 8 out. Hours
to charge. Yeah. Okay. The one's Fp and
Is building for Miami dade schools is Dc,
which is about 3, 3 and a half
hours to charge.
Hours So... But because they can't drive it
from macon Georgia down here
on some wim that they're gonna find some
charger it, they have to tow them. So...
Wow. That tells you about the range.
What you said before, They're not really reliable.
Right now, they're not reliable. Maybe in 20
years. 25 years. But they're not reliable no.
In 20 years, it'll just get so toxic
because these mines
have to be so large.
Eventually, they're gonna become problems for the areas
that that that are... Dedicated to mind. Eventually,
contaminating rivers, contaminating the the outskirts,
the suburbs of these my it's gonna be
a a disaster waiting to happen 20 years
from now, when half of our desolate lands
that they discover rare Earth minerals on,
become mines.
Well, and I believe in the United States
is are gonna permit, They're gonna get it
from the third world,
and that's gonna be a problem. Not only
way are you under this, but even the
you know, what I call the the climate
ex. Right? The Global people, They're under that.
So
the talk that they're the ones that are
preventing us from getting the mind. But let's
talk about it. Permits for mine. By the
way, back to our triangle. Obviously, propane much
more reliable, meaning
electric oysters are unreliable. They're not affordable. The
quarter billion dollars extras.
And back you know, clean and healthy. It's
about the same. To me, clean and healthy
is what's gonna avoid
asthma,
bronchitis,
Copd and ph.
That's,
propane is the solution that just as much
as an electric bus. Solves the same problem,
and they're both quiet.
Not as, you know, propane is about
very quiet. Have idle. The difference is just
the cost. I... Self propane on. I thought
it I had start stop technology when I
was. Source is the difference and the manufacturing
cost.
There's something called carbon debt. We heard that?
And there's a credits carbon debt. For everyone
here, this is sourced by Bloomberg.
New energy finance. This is March 20 20.
There's a whole port here, and it talks
about carbon debt. What is Carbon debt? Basically
what you're talking about. Carbon credit. Dirty... No
no. Carbon debt is
the dirty production of the batteries. They're so
dirt. Oh what I was saying about the
mines? That's correct. So
the amount of coal that's burnt to make
the batteries to process the batteries.
So you think, well, cold being
What why do they need the call for
what the extracting equipment know? So this report
doesn't even talk about
the mining.
So let's get deep into what these batteries
have. They have cobalt, which because mainly from
congo. They're republic of Congo. That's where though
the barefoot kids are... Yeah. The Chinese own
the minds by the way. Yeah. And that
goes to China,
in lithium,
half of it comes from Australia.
Another big chunk comes from the lithium triangle.
This is, I at Argentina Bolivia and chile.
It could shipped over there. This report does
not include the mining. How dirty the mining
is. But it gets to China.
China has a market has cornered the market
on processing batteries. 90 percent it's 97 percent
of the markets. All Tesla.
All the electric school buses of these
you know, buses, these electric school buses. It's
a company called Cummins,
cummins accelerated division. It's their Chinese division. Okay.
So because of the cost and because China
has
cornered the market. It's right company that we
know is cummins.
Cummins?
They have so they're all processed
in China.
They figured out this report from Bloomberg says,
well, what the breakeven because we know it's
so dirty. Right? We know the electric bus
is tail pipe clean. There's no emissions out
of the tail pipe. But to get to
that point, it means you're looking at it.
It's regular electric school bus,
Right? Or a tesla and then also you're
looking at a ford
or a propane.
What's the difference? To get to that point,
it's so much dirtier to make the batteries.
How much dirtier. Will they calculated?
In the report the Bloomberg report?
2.2 years.
E manufacturing emission. Just to manufacture the batteries,
it'll take 2 point years because, again, you're
driving the electric bus. There's no emissions. It'll
take about 2.2 years to basically break even
where the carbon emissions is equal.
Right? So in the first
2 plus years,
you're actually cleaner in propane or a regular
gas car. Right?
That's only 2.2 years. Then I figured something
I was saying, well,
I call this the math of 63. Right?
Math of 63.
Because it's over 3 times more expensive. What
if you utilize the amount of them?
What does math of 63 means? For every
20, electric school bus are you bought, you
can have the same cost
and about 63 propane.
63.
If you equal that out, made 63,
Now your breakeven goes up to 70 or
6.9 years.
7 years are 80000 miles.
Meaning you have to drive the buses
70 years,
before you now start emitting less carbon into
the atmosphere than you would, if you just
had propane. What a skin?
These are all numbers. All sources all in
this. I'm leaving the in case someone everyone
calls away, What's this
carbon debt? And how does that work? Because
they know, hey, it's it's so dirty to
build the battery. It's the... Well, you knew
that III
came from that angle from their get code,
so I was dead on. Propane buses, the
engine is a ford engine. Right? Regular engine.
Just for you a engine buffs out there,
Just 7.3 liter V 8.
It's called the Godzilla. So it's a regular
engine. Made in dear airborne, Michigan. Okay? Wow.
So made in Usa. So
that's what the math is 63 years. So
you got these break
So the problem that they p report to
solve.
Right? Right. Whatever the problem is this solution
doesn't actually solve the problem for... 2 years
or 7 years, which way, if you factor
in the money, equal utilize the money, it's
7.7 years. So don't tell me these are
are cleaner. They're tail pipe clean, that's the
deception. Oh, there's no tail pipe. So you
don't see the like spoon. Yes.
But, of course, it's
it's... They're so dirty to produce. That's why
they have these reports. To tell people play.
And this is a very pro electric vehicle.
Report. It's just saying it's gonna take a
while
for you to have a break of carbon
and then eventually, keep the car
10:15 20 years, the electric vehicle will be
much better. Well, guess what the warranty is
on these buses.
8 years.
Cummins warrants it 8 years or a hundred
and 25000 miles, we probably won't get to
the 01:25, but 8 years.
Anyone who's at a Tesla the say warranty
8 years. You know what 8 years in
a month
that battery is dying. Right? Yeah.
Remember folks, remember when you we used to
have cordless phones in our home? And I
knew this as a hardware store people.
People had a tendency to leave them on
their charger when they would travel. That's the
worst thing you can do because it burns
out the battery charging.
Eventually, doesn't receive a charge. And I had
to carry every freaking single battery of every
manufacturer in order to make a living, selling
those little batteries.
So I said to them. Hey, man. We're
not doing it anymore. We have this battery
that we think is the most popular of
the rechargeable batteries on these mobile phones in
your home, But that's it. And
on top of that the industry, do didn't
have a universal plug
so that you could use other batteries to
plug into your phone. So imagine when a
test no longer takes a charge.
What is Tesla gonna do? They're gonna acknowledge
and it's a legitimate trade instill? So when
it doesn't... Charge anymore. Tesla specifically has kinda
solved that problem. They have another company called
Tesla Energy, you know? And for the battery.
They take the batteries back. They use it
for battery storage for solar in California. So
they're repurposing to answer that. So they will
acknowledge it as it as you're trading in
when you're cardinal no longer tested test or
repurpose the battery and give you pretty nice
credit back. But that says. That's an that's
not diesel to us. And not not the
other battery operated cars no 1 else To
do that. No 1 else does that.
So
basically, we go through a few of these
items, maintenance,
if you're a maintenance person, working miami school.
Only a cummins authorized maintenance person can service
the electric bus. If not, it's out of
warranty. You touch that battery, drivetrain inverter at
of warranty. So it's big for them.
The oil changes. When you do a propane
oil changes, it's it's it's like gold. You
don't see any that suspended carbon, I know
a lot of people don't do oil changes
out there, but in gasoline and diesel
black mu. Inside Don't see that in propane.
It's a lot cleaner.
So clean that these carbon score,
I meaning, they measure how much carbon dioxide
is put out by different fuels.
Propane about 44 percent less than gasoline diesel.
So you are saving. So going prop, it's
not like you're emitting the same carbon dioxide.
We are solving little of the problem that
they report to have this carbon... Carbon dioxide
problem. So you believe that the scam owners
are
are not in the propane world. They're in
the battery world. Therefore,
It's obviously that conversation is being had, and
the propane
argument is not being had. Correct. And yet
There's a full
industry building propane, freaking buses. Oh yep. And
like I said have
why? Isn't brow, like, 100 percent propane. What
keeps them from going a hundred percent? I
don't get it. This some kind 2 union
contract or something? No. To Hey It makes
sense that every government utility vehicle of all
types should be broken. They bought most of
these in the last few years. Yeah. And
and you can only buy school buses as
the old ones go out of date. So
you can't just replace. There's a diesel. It's
5 years old. There's... You had projected it
to be 15 years. Only 567, so they
just can't replace those. That's why. It should
be we should pass
legislation that says that you have to...
Replace a diesel
bus with a propane bus. So, brow, that's
have... Again, 22 percent of the buses are
propane. Seems like a small number, most a
huge most of them bought in the last
few years, why didn't they go electrical? They
were thinking about the things, school safety, obviously.
They had other the
priorities. Right? But that's the amount of school
buses, the diesel ones that came out of
service that they were gonna take to auction.
So you can't just say we're gonna replace
all these buses at 1 time.
So it has... That's why it's only 02:24.
As time goes on, I'm sure they're gonna
do the same thing. They're not... Wow, and
that's brow. As you go... The date wouldn't
fall soon.
Yeah. That means your wife would need
another what?
Another 7 school board members to join.
And right now, it's close. The school birds
very good. It's just hers will tip. You
know,
if the incumbents stays there.
It becomes more on the liberal side, more
in the... You know, this... And she... Your
wife is by herself up against her? Yes.
It's general now they're they're together 1 Great.
So
again,
August fifth to the twentieth if you can
vote, if you're in District 9, which goes
anywhere from the village of Pine, Village of
Palm meadow Bay, the town of Color Bay,
City of Homestead, Florida City.
And little pieces of, say Richmond Heights and
Corey, you will see Kimberly T Belt train
is the first name
on the ballot under school board. Vote for
her, And the money will be used, you
know, it'll go basically to teachers in school.
Most of her programs, you think are adding
programs. I don't know much about it, but
things like a after school.
Performing arts, music,
sports, very big on sports at all levels,
of, media, heavy inter internet, Tv station, interviews,
all this,
When you think of a school program, half
the money is going to teachers,
teachers, coaches, mentors of your teacher, you'll love
it. Forgets any money on
electric school buses and things that
theoretically may help the environment.
This is mission critical. Right?
Let's compete against the private charges. So let's
make the school's attractive again. That's her whole
goal. Get politics out of the school board.
Right? Every dollar would be spent to help
the student to make the student. So, yeah,
I personally
kind of an offs shoot here. I don't
believe that students are have the poor grades,
very low mask scores, low, beating in English
I don't believe it's because of the teachers.
We have great teachers. It's just a lot
of. I believe it's a sunshine state stand.
They're not in... Yeah. They're not engaged in
this... I don't think the teachers really.
Are allowed to teach. I think they're giving
a manual. That's part of the,
you know, their certification become teachers
and they don't let them deviate from that.
In fact, Alan, I think they let him
concentrate at 1 particular struggling student.
I believe that this... Student can be given
re remedial education on the... During the summertime
time.
I believe that the failure of common core
was that. It was so remedial.
It almost created leverage to get your child
to go to the next grade.
And our biggest flaw
as educators from the get goal. First of
all,
allowing our government
to teach our children.
Second of all is associating
educational development based on grades,
which means based on birth.
So there's a lot of 6 year olds
that don't pick up information at the same
speed as other 6 to your year olds.
And since they are so overcrowded in every
freaking school everywhere
to that they have to push up to
the to the the second grade. Third great.
They can't keep them back. I was kept
back and first grade.
I was kept back because my parents asked
them to hold me back. Along with my
4 or 5 other delinquent friends,
and it was because at had the complex
of being refugees that my kid is learning
Spanish at home and struggling with English in
school. Therefore, maybe he's falling behind. But my
mom
tell me till I was, like, 40 years
old, that she 1 who kept me back.
And meanwhile, my self esteem was shot.
All those years
because I was always a little older than
everybody in my age group in my grade.
My kids were in second grade when I
was at first and all the way up.
And guess what? I turned out to be
a poor student because I always felt...
I don't know. Deficient. And now
I think I'm the most important school I
have to advocate out there because I'm calling...
I'm calling for the parent guardians ship school,
which is the conversion of public schools.
To Pairing guardians ship schools. I've seen that
on a lot of Kimberly
programs I've seen a lot time. I've seen
special education on there, specific to certain children.
She's a member of the color Bay Education
Advisory committee. So what you're talking about...
Oh, she needs to have some serious resistance
on that advisory committee. I hear by the...
That a lot. But let's... Let's it's talk
about sold, by the way, to close out
in the whole bus things. It's not that
I'm against
electronic buses? Yeah it's that technology is and
the market is. That's how it works The
market is. If it wasn't, then the open
market would provide
a product similar in performance and costs,
to propane or any other alternative fuel without
government substance. What's amazing is that you're the
first person to tell me
something that has been out for so long.
How proficient the propane industry is. It's there.
It cranks our cars.
And... Sorry, buses.
And
why the politicians didn't get behind it is
beyond me, and they immediately flipped the switch.
Some lobby, some,
group,
some technology maybe was a group of,
battery operated wizards, you know, people like yourself
engineers, who somehow wanted something to do. So
they got into this world and they... All
they did was a rapid around climate change.
Propane is not politically ex ex. There's no
advantage to do it. Yeah. Because has that
word gas, propane. Right. Gas. But electric, it's
the green new deal and it's so there's
a a big political advantage for that. That's
why it's done basically. And eventually, the whole
damn electric grid and this a whole country
is gonna pop
because they continue with this battery operated charging
station and stuff like that, that's gonna be
such a burden to the electrical grid
that
if then it'll start making individual, small, individual
plants and
you know, like nuclear facilities for maybe 10000
homes at a time, small facilities, all over
the country, which is, of course, risky because
it's nuclear power everywhere. But if we can
reduce the the nuclear power plants,
not reduce the actual plants that exist, but
create more subs stations at are nuclear, literally
a nuclear down the street from your house,
as unsafe as that sounds it's probably safe
as all hell. But if we don't somehow
mini
nuclear power so that All new developments have
their nuclear power station like a Len wants
to crank out another 2000 homes somewhere, they've
gotta
provide for the nuclear power facility for that
development.
An individualized power,
this country shot if they don't go that
route. I agree with you.
They the
you know, I like nuclear power. It's.
If we have Time at the end, we'll
do a bonus on turkey point, but... And
as a turkey point has 3 units. There's
2 nuclear reactors.
Again, a little over 70 percent of the
power, and then 1
methane gas fired
plant. That provides all the power from my
bay county. Right? So
I agree with you. The problem with turkey
point specifically.
Those are over 50 years old is the
water pollution. And again, we can get into...
Nothing tracking into the bay. I'll make 2
statements in my own, and then we can
go back. But explains why the oxygen is
being depleted Nothing being has been worse for
the Bi aquifer that's our pot water. Yeah.
Than Turkey point in the design of it.
So like I said, if we have a
few minutes at the end. In other words,
you believe they've already cure that in the
new nuclear power plants out there? And by,
all that said, I'm very pro Fp and
l I've been a customer 30 years. I
think they're very good for the community, And
it wasn't almost best fault. It's just stable
most. It just turned out that way. But...
Yeah. And who's on this is Bill Gates.
He thinks the only way to solve this
issue is he has a company called terra
power, which is nuclear power plants. And He's
building a couple, and he wants to build
nuclear power plant. He solves the water issue.
There's sodium cooled. Instead of water. Doesn't use
any water from the aquifer.
The you... It's all sodium cooled. That's could
be cool. That could be Still the same
is it been contested or is it legit?
He's... The first 1 hasn't opened yet. It's
wyoming.
And so that's his new company terra power.
And the sodium, what is the sodium under
than assault? What is it just
surrounded by salt?
Don't know much about how it works. It's
the same way Works. It's nuclear efficient. You're
splitting uranium and right getting the heat generator
which you know. You know how it works.
Yeah. Sorry. Heat makes steam,
spin a turbine. Right? Run a generator, light
your. Right? That's the same concept, but how
you cool it?
That's this... Again I'd have to go Yeah
With Sodium. How can he cool it? Like,
is it a powder? Form? Is it a
pace? Gonna look at how tara powers is
doing? As hell? And steal the technology
Side of me
would love to understand that the other me.
I couldn't understand it if you even explained
it to me
for dummies.
It's just some... It's just scientist scientist. There's
no There's no ifs ends or butts. I
wanna talk about solar power. Go for. You
got...
Right now, you've got 9,
9 minutes.
So... You've been going for a full hour,
mister Belt? Let's go. We... I call it.
Man. You spend that much time in school
over your stuff?
Geez.
We call this... Where you go to school?
Live, you. You with the Berlin. Right? Yeah.
And then Loyal University in new Orleans. You
went the Lo. Great school.
Fantastic.
I'm don't how you get. We call this
the lie of 45. Again, Not I had
to bash the 1, but let's... Oh, go
and stop giving me disclaimers
not here to Bash.
Blake radios is all about. Let me try
to put this on and see how this
works here.
Speak up. You got the freedom for now.
This is the opposition. Talking about solar power
Remember at the beginning, we talked about electro
file buses
and d the electric grid. The whole grid
has to be as much as we can
solar.
The of the force. What she said this
was last summer.
She... We consume is coming from solar energy.
In terms of where...
Here's you did... For the buildings, you get
energy from,
solar, of course, comes to mind, but talk
to us about what. Yeah. So solar is
huge. Right?
For 45 percent of energy, we consume is
coming from solar energy. 45 percent of the
all building. Of all the energy by From
fp. Yeah. So that's huge. Right? Is that
true? Tremendous.
Step.
Do you think that's sure I don't believe
he's not gonna true. Gonna court again.
45 percent of the energy we consume is
coming from Solar energy. The host says 45
percent of all buildings.
She says, This is the opposition of all
the energy we buy from Fp and L.
So that's tremendous. Big step. Okay.
Obviously, that cannot be true. Nothing than a
flat out line. I know what she's talking
about. That's like 5 percent. But, you know
what many? You know many solar panels that
will require. My god, all of the ever
would have to be under solar panel. It's
1 percent basically. Come on. All the the
power coming into miami media schools comes from
Turkey point. Right? Nuclear or the gas fired?
And they... And what's their total footprint of
solar power of Fp 1? 6 percent 6
percent of the Florida grid? Cheese. I think
Has a little remember. There's duke Energy. There's
T but that's north and in the keys.
There's 1 solar plant in Miami. Just 1.
Fp has about 66 plants. 60 some odd
plants
either working now or that they're building,
including 1 in the Ever near the... Right
next to the ever
out there. By Coconut Palm. So it's basically
1 percent, not 45. Oh my Lord. I
know what she's talking Blatantly lying. What she
talks about is it's
unrelated to the power. What she said is
there's an investment program called Solar
together with Fp and L. You basically put
money...
Every month to give them money. It's called
the subscription,
charge right and give them money, and its
Fp uses it to build, operate and maintain
their solar fields.
Subsidize pay back credits.
And they'll pay... And they... On their website
I just write it this morning. The breakeven.
So where you'll... Your credits will be more
than what you're paying in is 7 years.
We can make support. Meaning it's an investment...
It's a coop op investment program. You're in
it with Fp and. Fp L owns everything,
but you're...
Getting into it and the product is how
much solar they produce. So that's the risk.
If they don't produce enough solar power, you
your breakeven will be longer.
But the 1 hurricane rips the whole damn
farm and house. They get into it because
it's something called renewable energy certificates to these
digital certificates that shows the federal government. Hey,
Miami meeting School boards is
participating and trying to even though it's utility
scale trying to help solar energy, so that's
why they're in it. But they can buy
how much can you buy of this investment?
45 percent of what you use that's... But
it has nothing to do with the power
that's coming in? It's unrelated to that. So
what you said is just obviously a flat
outlet. We're 6 percent,
a third in the country, California,
20 percent of the greatest solar. That's California.
They've been at this for 15 years. And
is it also true that in solar energy,
the longer you go
between the panel? And the transform
station,
the power is reduced by 20 30 percent.
Per mile, something like that. Correct. They have
something called capacity factor, which is capacity.
It's about 25 percent. We're a third in
the country... In the country... Gotta be impressed
with me that I know. Yeah. California is
just 30 percent by nuclear, for example. So
in other words, the panel generates let's say
a hundred kilowatts. Right. By the time it
gets to the station, not even distributed to
the home, the and consumer.
By having get to the station, per mile,
it's being reduced.
Right.
Significant. So the station probably doesn't even receive.
The hundred kilowatts if probably receives how much?
The factor measures the amount that it takes
in. So it's says it's just a hundred
kilowatts. To the amount of electricity generated to
the end user, which would be 25 right?
Oh my god. So 80 80 75 percent
is... Beer. By the way the stated goal
by, you know, the climate ex, the stated
goal of solar is to be 25 percent
of the grid by 20 and 40. That's
their state goal for her Say Oh, It's
45 percent today
is just an un truth, just again, designed
to show people. Oh, we're doing something, you
know, I'm Mcqueen, green, and so I'm doing
something to help. And my left friends will
over me. What's the result of all this?
So for example, California has been at this
15 years. California is still 45 percent
gas fired. Okay?
The result...
High cost, electricity.
Our average cost, 15 cents kilowatt hour from
A fp. It's about 15 cents a kilowatt
hour. This is... I'm reading here. Residential sector
20 24 costs. California,
31 cents. Kiddo. So over double. Our
And what... And and and is it is
it the left?
That doesn't allow nuclear power in California when
it's obviously needed? Yeah. They just closed 1
called songs. Santa an Off. They have during
1 nuclear power plant.
They're down to 1. Or they had several.
And
why is
Why is it electricity so expensive in California
good old supply and demand. They over relied
on solar
and they have an under supply. Yeah. I
think I think, Texas all also had that
problem when they're grid collapsed. The big problem
with too much in Germany. In Germany? Last
summer is 60 cents a kilowatt hour. Oh
my lord. It's now 50. Can you imagine
we wouldn't stand that in mind 50 cents
a kilowatt. On 15. Because, again, they were
relied on solar. They didn't want any nuclear.
And France was 100 percent run on nuclear,
and they shut
percent apple well France is still a lot
better. They can... They're still running nuclear. This
is specific to Germany. They were getting a
lot of natural gas from Russia. Once the
war started, there were these pipelines that yeah
were sabotage, Nord. Yeah. We blew it up.
That exactly. That does increased the Made Joe
Biden approves it. Trump dis disprove it.
Biden approves it to only blow it up
less than a year later.
On unbelievable. That's right. That was you're right
in 20 22. So what's the issues with
solar? Basically 2 things.
Energy density?
And what's called intermittent.
Enter... What's energy density? It's the
kilowatt hours? They you... The electricity that's generated
per, the mass or the volume or the
surface area used.
What's very dense. Right? Oil and gas. The
volume of liquid produces a lot of energy
nuclear that those uranium pellets produced produce a
lot of energy.
Surface area. I'm gonna give you a little
stat from what you said before. If we
wanted produce the power of tricky point with
solar,
you would have to cover... All of the
air. The I
you would cover... If you covered...
The entire village of Pine crust. These are
the voters are destroyed... The entire village of
Pom Bay in the entire town of Cutlery
Bay. All 3 with solar panels and inverter,
you would generate
25 percent of the power that turn turkey
point generates.
So I'm saying it to be. It would
be 13000000 panels. It's... It's just not dense
enough. You need a lot of surface area
to make a little power. Jesus Lord. How
can you guys buy into this stuff. Looking
at it. I mean, I I hear horror
stories. Remember I'm in the hardware store business.
So I hear the horror stories, all, the
incredible costs.
Just to put panels on your roof.
Okay? And then your power to be more
expensive.
California eliminated the crediting.
Didn't limit me they reduced it by sunday.
It's called net energy metering,
and the m 3 says we used to
credit you this much
for your solar power that you... On your
roof. Now it's... Reduce 75 percent. So it
takes you forever
amortized your pants. They're really ton to cool.
We got a couple minutes left. You've done
You know down the 2.
So what's intermittent?
Solar is intermittent. It's not on demand like
gas neutral or nuclear. Right?
Of course, no sun at night. We only
get... How about rain.
Right. We have a hundred and 20 something
days of rain.
Perfect. 240 days. That you could actually use
it and it's about usable sunlight is 6
hours. Maybe have to use it. Of those
02:40 days. Yeah. So Solar competes with... We're
Definitely being...
Represented by our lesser.
I'm more convinced about than ever before,
being in radio
since 2017,
I just realized that
the station has allow me to,
you know, to have people like, you informed
me of of things. And I wouldn't
found otherwise by just reading journals and stuff.
But not being able to share with you
all a 94.5

is a real sad state of affairs that
you, my audience

want your harder and tax stars to go
where it's supposed to. Right?
Please vote August fifth, August twentieth,
if Kimberly Belt for School District 9 from
Pine Crust, Palm Bay, Color Bay, Homestead, Florida
City. You will see her name Kimberly T
Belt is the first name on the ballot.
And your hard earned money will go
to the students to make, Miami dade public
