Americans bought only 116,099 electric cars in 2015 – out of a record 17,500,000 cars and light trucks sold

0.7 percent

But based on the amount of MSM news on them, you'd think it was more like 70 percent.....

“...and pay for the expanding plethora of “essential” government programs...”

One way is that if Trump is elected, these “essential” programs will become non-essential and disappear...
I believe a lot of the wasteful government programs will be dissolved by a Trump administration and the government will become leaner...

THAT is the business way...Opposite the political way...

Government needs to butt out and let the Private sector work it out

And here in Oregon our brilliant legislators just passed a bill require each electric company providing electricity to retail electricity consumers to eliminate coal-fired resources within the next 15 years.

I can’t wait for all the greenies to be left shivering through the winter waiting for solar & wind power to work. Me? I’m moving!

Another lie by the left. “We need to make America energy independant.” We done that, asshat. You just won’t accept it.

That is a great article and I hope it reminds everyone as to why we are hurting in manufacturing jobs.

But everyone knows that China is what’s crushing our manufacturing...right? If we could just get all those trade manipulators to play by our rules and our laws why they could be just as crippled, taxed, and regulated as us and then we could all compete on a level playing field.

Under her presidency, says Hillary Clinton, a ban on oil, gas and coal production from federal lands would be a “done deal” and the United States would have “at least 50% clean or carbon-free energy by 2050.”

Does she have any idea of the revenue stream the US would lose from royalties on that production?

Or how many pissed off oil workers would have nothing to do but assemble in places she might show up?

Meanwhile, in another rubberstamp of heavy-handed government actions, the post-Scalia Supreme Court just ruled that EPA may continue forcing states and utility companies to spend billions of dollars trying to comply with coal-fired power plant rules, while lower courts spend years reviewing challenges to them.

I have repeatedly said on this forum that America will not be 'made great again' in terms of manufacturing or otherwise as long as the EPA continues on it's hell-bent crusade to sink our economy and industry.

One candidate swore in Iowa to use the EPA (which means its continued existence) to uphold the Renewable Fuels (ethanol) Mandate to the fullest extent of the law.

That means, under that candidate, the EPA will continue in its mission to destroy America, if that candidate is elected.
