And does he not think we’ll need energy independence even with EVs?

I’m done but I will say I cannot do my job with an EV.

I don’t even want to think about a charging station with 6 “pumps”. Everybody hanging out for an hour or so.

It’s is ridiculous.

I really think they are planning Nuclear to do it but they better get cracking that whip.

This EV pipe dream is just that.

No infrastructure at all.

They really seem to be hell bent on depopulation.

The Biden administration is sold out to the “Green New Deal”, which will destroy the country.

$50,000 to start to buy a electric car with risk of fire with home being burned down while the car charges or flash fire while driving. Add $10,000 to get higher voltage charger at home so you don’t have to wait 20 minutes or more for a partial charge at a some station if you can find one.

My limit for a gas car was $10,000 (last 3 were Honda Accords) so I could buy 5 gas cars vs 1 electric car.

The democrats have deliberately raised the price of new cars. remember obama/biden having cask for clunkers and used car prices went up afterwards. The electric cannot compete with a gas car.

They make inexpensive vehicles (including diesels) in other countries but US laws and the omnipotent EPA won’t allow them here.

And Biden’s Transportation CZAR states that we all must get rid of our cars and ride the bus. 👎😡🚍

The woman eventually gets up but throws punches at another passenger before getting off the bus. Benavidez said he’s noticed more bad behavior on buses recently. “It’s been a problem for the past few months. People refusing to wear masks, not obeying commands of the driver, twice in the last month I’ve witnessed two people doing drugs on the bus,” he said.

He’s calling on city leadership to bump up security. “I agree with the free fare program and fares but at the same time they had to anticipate that there was going to be some people getting on the bus as a result of that program that shouldn’t be there,” said Benavidez.
