On last Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that he doubts “that Americans in 2050 are still going to be driving that old technology, that combustion technology that we inherited from the 20th century.”
Buttigieg said, “[T]he share of EVs has been dramatically increasing every single year, and that’s continuing. Now, our goal is, by the end of this decade, to be about half-and-half. We think that that can and will happen. But what isn’t guaranteed is, first of all, is that EV revolution going to continue to be made in America? During the Trump administration, China really built a major advantage on EVs. But as somebody who comes from the industrial Midwest, sees how the auto industry creates so much by way of livelihoods where I come from and really around the country, I’m much more excited about the jobs being created on U.S. soil, and that doesn’t just happen. We’ve got to make sure that the U.S. leads the way as this technology changes. I don’t know a lot of people who think that Americans in 2050 are still going to be driving that old technology, that combustion technology that we inherited from the 20th century.”

Better git busy making Mr. Fusions then, buttboy!
The Democrats are hard at work on “the final solution”.
:-(
Don’t be silly, he only puts things into his butt.
America won’t be around by 2050
Yes, he truly is that ignorant and naïve.
I have news for him. They won’t be driving battery powered cars either. Battery powered cars are a product of government interference with the economy to produce results the economy has already demonstrated it doesn’t want.
I was at a Christmas party talking to a wealthy guy with some high-end connections. He said a whole street of his buddies had purchased electric cars and installed chargers in their garages. They had all received cease and desist letters from the power company that said the infrastructure in their area could not support their chargers, and they were forbidden to use the chargers under penalty of losing their electric service.
It’s ALWAYS about control with the Communist left.
Like I will still be driving when I am 106.
Oh, more ‘tips’ from bootee judge. I hear there will be a lesson on ‘sack’ lunches soon. Hey petee, shut up.
No....we will be on BUSSES and TRAINS if the DEMOCRATS have their way!!
Buttgiggity has spent too much time on his belly on a table in the Senate Hearing room.
“”I don’t know a lot of people who think that Americans in 2050 are still going to be driving that old technology, that combustion technology that we inherited from the 20th century.””
He must NOT know NORMAL Americans. Bureaucrats are determined to remain in the dark and live in their own fantasy world.
The Democrats want rickshaws now and rickshaws forever—the obedient masses will pull their masters.
Hopefully, the rapture will occur before then.
GF yourself, Buttplug.
Oh, Merry Christmas to everyone else.
In 2050, the world will be wondering how the ‘old’ climate change hoax was allow to exist for so long, and they’ll also be wondering how much better the world would have been without the scam being shoved down their throats.
Take the gummit subsidies from EVs and see what happens Comrade.
