--- " ...President Biden's plan to have 50% of cars sold in the US be electric by 2030. "

Aside from outright market manipulation and subsidies benefiting the EV manufacturers and the component supply companies, one thinks to those pictures from Castro's Cuba, wherein "old" cars were kept running by very creative mechanics in the face of "market" shortages and such.

We've two older vehicles which we intend to keep running with regular maintenance by our local garage, although we are fortunate enough to buy with cash new "EV" models. Won't happen. Don't need them. The Cummins diesel Dodge hums along brilliantly.

As to Biden's (and Obama's) strategy:

All the Buttigieg Marxists in the world -- as proven by those wacky Castro Marxists for decades -- isn't going to change things.

But they'll keep trying. And they'll keep failing. Cuba has already shown the 'future' -- and they did it 'yesterday'.

There will still be multitudes of ICE Vehicles around in 2030, but there will be little or no fuels available to run them. Gas stations will be few and far between.

And what fuels are available will be so costly that no average American can buy them...............
