It wasn’t long before it became too costly to make two versions of cars, so the regs were adopted nationally.

This cover story makes no sense.

TWO versions?

Just look at all the 'versions' that JEEP makes already!


Any color other than black??

The options one can select for a newly built vehicle are staggering in number!

“Hummer EV Is THE Status Symbol But It Costs $100 per Charge”

So?

My current Grand Cherokee costs the same to fill its 25 gallon tank with $4 gas!


Which I am going to do in an hour or so from now.

There are a LOT more than that, they are just sitting at home or NOT on the freeway.

The thing is Elsie that that $100 is extra cost added to what is only going gto Increase in price electricity costs. They are a,ready harping about adding on “taxes” to the electricity costs once folks are switched over, driv8ng the price of electricity even higher, so that $100 per charge is gonna be quite a.bit more once they do.

Yes gas is $4 a gallon ($4.50 here), but it is due to incompetent ‘leadership, who has waged war on fossil fuels, but we have seen that under competent leadership, those prices can drop to under $2,a gallon.. that won’t happen with electricity as more demand, and less supply (think rolling blackouts x 20) will drive the prices up

Good to hear, Mad Dog. I can get kerosene at the pump at one station, about 20 miles from me in the Treasure Valley. I’m just sure that it used to be more widely available, and as an energy commodity, when their were over 4 million kerosene kitchens in a nation of about 100M people.

I have just been looking at old catalogs that showed water heaters, stoves, ovens, room and whole home heaters using kerosene. They are from the late 20’s and 30’s. It occurs to me that as distributed energy reserve, it is more flexible for the user than any utility. It lends itself more to supply and demand pricing.

I think this same fact is true of gasoline, now. Thus, the push to eliminate it, I think.

...gasoline and other petroleum derivatives will disappear once the need to produce it in volume and distribute it is gone.

And so will all forms of personally owned transportation. EVs are not a viable replacement for internal combustion engines and never can be. It is a bait and switch operation.

This is intentional. Our elites want a neo-feudal system in which the peasantry is under their absolute control. Freedom of movement cannot be permitted under that system.

If the transition reduces the world economy to a pre-industrial level (and a world population to 5% of current totals) they are fine with that too.

I agree with your assessment 100%.

This is about control and the establishment of neo-feudalism.

Centralized energy supports centralized control.

Milton was prophetic.
