You’re spot on. They want to eliminate the oil companies for control of all power.

This isn’t even about climate or EV’s. If this were about EV’s they’d be announcing projects to vastly expand our electrical grid to handle the migration to EV’s, and they’re not. People are easily fooled by seeing charging stations. This about control, pushing us to public transportation and eliminating as many cars and our independence as possible.

Nothing these morons mandate will have the SLIGHTEST effect on the climate.

This has nothing to do with climate. It has everything to do with Neo-feudalism.

“I still have a lot of incandescent bulbs. A LOT.”

So do I. but I have been impressed by some of the newer high CRI led bulbs though (not so much the really cheap ones)

It’s not the gas tax that will kill the ICE; it’s the wholesale disappearance of gas stations to fuel them.

The corrupt gov’t eco-rat filth will make gas so prohibitively expensive to produce, that stations will close by the thousands.

“Hard to explain to other people what a kick in the pants fun this is.”

Yes it is. I’m having a blast in my several years project. I have been ordered to finished her by Christmas and I’m on track to make that happen.

Most of them are not that smart.

Some “face” types at the top with a cadre of overseers and a bureaucracy of fellow travelers.
They are deep inside the system.
They enjoy the taste of power over others with little if any knowledge of the damage being done.

—”15 minute cities for everyone.”

And with that comes the behavioral sink.

... “In his most famous experiment in the series, “Universe 25”, population peaked at 2,200 mice and thereafter exhibited a variety of abnormal, often destructive, behaviors including refusal to engage in courtship, females abandoning their young, and homosexuality. By the 600th day, the population was on its way to extinction. Though physically able to reproduce, the mice had lost the social skills required to mate.”

It’s all a ruse. Dem. GOP.

Is your theory that Trump is an eager cattle-car motorman also? It seems to me a pro-gasoline plank on his campaign would be likely, and I think the issue in itself would raise the one behind it, which is control. That is, that the Marxists cherish electric everything because if they're in charge, they can threaten to pick off individuals for shut-off and starvation.

I have trouble gaming out a strategy that would help Trump by championing this horrible notion himself. Conversely, I think that Trump assailing the idea and everything like it--should the Dems be so unwise as to talk about it--would draw conservative candidates and voters out of the woodwork carrying weapons.

There is a danger that before the campaigns start to heat up, the Dems will have done some polling and call out to each other, like an audience at a comedy act hearing a stone-cold joke about a recent disaster with thousands of deaths, "Too soon!" and keep their intentions silent until they've won.

“GM is the way to go if you want selection of pre-cat crate engines and rebuilt trannies. “

Yup, I’m a Chevy man purely for long term parts.

And don’t tell anyone, but I pick up old leaky trannies in Vegas back allies whenever I can.

“mandated the mercury filled florescent bulbs to save the environment”

The ones that cost twenty times an incandescent and were going to last 10 years? Attention government, why don’t we believe you? I doubt any of them made 5 years, much less 10.

I am curious as to what SEMA and major
aftermarket parts manufacturers are
doing to stop this sudden transformation
to EV use.
Thousands of businesses are going to
shut down. Muffler, oil change, gas
stations, machine shops, transmission
shops, tool manufacturers.
Working on your EV car will void your
warranty. Any repairs will require
a trip to the dealership.
Much of the US economy centers around
the ICE vehicle.

Fully agree.

Have an old Land Rover defender than can run on cooking oil or Jet A or diesel.

All the parts are easy to find (same engine as an old London cab) and can be easily be worked on in the field by anyone with vague mechanical knowledge.

Literally designed to be fixed at war or in the darkest of Africa.
