The issue is not EVs. The issue is how to manage an population no longer able to afford to drive.
TPTB want a population of walkers, bikers and mass transit users.
“Granholm: California’s New Gas Vehicle Sale Ban ‘Could Be’ a National Model”
Correction, it WILL become the National Policy - but ONLY if the Democrats can convince enough Republican voters to sit at home so that their RINO loses to another Democrat. At this point, they are ONE VOTE short of mandating ELECTRIC cars and OUTLAWING gasoline cars.
“walkers, bikers and mass transit users”
Ever since the end of WWII state, local and Federal governments have done everything in their power to get people to move out into the suburbs.
The make plenty of coves in the suburbs such that what would be a 5 minute walk becomes a 30 minute walk to the store.
Now we reverse that in less than a decade?
The trollies were all pulled up except as tourist attractions.
Bus service is now almost non-existent. A 20 minute drive becomes a 2.5 hour commute.
We don’t have decent train service (I’ve been in China, Japan, Australia, and most of Europe. We have by far the poorest train service of any place I have been).
The electrical infrastructure in some places is so bad that an eighth of an inch of ice can bring entire cities to a grinding halt.
Some cities have not replaced transformers in 70 years.
The last functioning nuclear power plant in the United States was built in Tennessee almost three decades ago.
So we do the “California model” people can’t get to work, restaurants won’t have diners, shops won’t have customers, tourism will be all but wiped out, factories will be starved for energy and will move to Asia.
So basically Secretary Granholm is either a complete idiot or she is actively working to sabotage the country or she is helping China to become the dominant country. Or all three.
True. Good post.
If the Dem side was right then how come they have to insist on totalitarian control to force people to do things against their will?
Henry Ford’s popular low cost automobiles allowed people to be mobile, free of interurban schedules and other mass transportation. That freedom was major part of America rising above the other countries in the world. Mussolini could make the trains runs on time but we could go where we chose at any time.
Now taking that away takes away freedom thanks to the Dems.
Old people often say “If you take my keys away you may as well call it a death sentence because my life is over.”
In California their polls since the 1980s showed “People want rail, bus and other mass transit to be funded fully but they want someone else to ride on them.” They said they will continue to drive their own cars.
