Schumer just made a statement that there should be no ICE vehicles on the road in 20 years. This is madness, a prescription for impoverishment. You simply can’t make an infrastructure shift of that magnitude in 20 years.
And the idea that government planners are going to figure this all out, and do it all with “equity” in mind, should lead to catcalls and howls of derision towards those proposing it. This is Central Planning writ large. We know what lies at the end of that road, and it isn’t pretty.
We used to see them in Tennessee. They took them all out: no one was using them and they took up parking spaces.
Equity? You mean put more electric chargers in south minneapolis? The locals will be running electric cords to their homes within a month.
It’s really not a problem, because unless the Chinese have a plan, the world is going to run out of child slaves to dig the cadmium out of the ground long before we have enough EV charging stations.
