Imagine how good Ford would be doing if instead of going whole hog EV, they brought back practical models like the Escort and Taurus.

The Great Reset makes no secret that they want us afoot. Pushing the EV’s is probably the quickest way to achieve it. And it’s good to remember that they don’t care how much pain and suffering is inflicted in the process, including famine.
Two things: work trucks and vans are needed to do ... wait for it ... work. Work requires energy.
Work = Force X distance
There's only so far you can whittle down the energy and still get work done.
What if fuel mileage reduction mandates were tied to government spending reduction mandates.
Did the U.S. Congress pass this EV mandate in a legislation? If not, then what the Biden Administration is doing is unconstitutional.
While China is burning record amounts of coal. They are constructing one NEW COAL BURNING power plant EVEY WEEK. It is far cheaper power than green energy which US businesses are forced to use.
72 miles per gallon of gas is pretty good. I’d rather they go this route then electric cars. Not everything is a bad thing. I remember when you complained that cars were going from 10 miles to the gallon to 25 miles a gallon. The sky is falling. Lol.
it is troubling, to think that bureaucratic decrees are being issued like this.
Last year, Gavin Newsom and the California Air Resources Board, decreed that no new internal combustion vehicles can be sold in California in 2035. A few other states and the European Union are also using that 2035 date as a target to phase out the internal combustion engine.
And we’re doing all of this to fight global warming, and it is blasphemous of any of us to question global warming, or how much man is contributing to this problem.
I would just point out, that we have nowhere near the infrastructure to recharge hundreds of millions of electric vehicles, even if we buy the notion, that we have to fight global warming. But such inconvenient truths don’t seem to matter to the liberals who are issuing decrees on how we are to live our lives.
We should get rid of our legislatures and courts. Who ever is elected as the President or the Governor (from the Democratic Party) gets to rule as our Kings.
We're heading down that direction.
NEWESOM & BIDEN will both be dead by 2035.
(Ride ze bus. Eat ze bugs)
Exactly
completely destroy our quality of life
to achieve climate paradise
sound familiar?
Bring back the Edsel. Even that dog would make better margin than the EV’s
A lot of folks are took busy just trying to get by to pay much attention to this crap. Sad to say.
Owwwwww. Unconstitutional. They do NOT care.
One thing that always ticked me off is it seems the auto companies just accepted whatever mandate the government kept ratcheting up on cafe standards over time and never fought back. They just kept rolling over passing the extra costs off onto the consumer and I am about @#$$!×ing tired of it!!
If China were using CLEAN COAL BURNING TECHNOLOGY, their air wouldn't be so damn' thick and dark and polluting the rest of the world.
Here in the USA, we have clean coal burning technology and are forbidden from using it by the enviro-whacko's and the moron in the White House.
In the meantime, China and India are responsible for 70% of the worlds coal usage. The USA and Europe combine for 8% and the rest of the world is 12%.
Clearly, China and India are the world's biggest polluters, and emit more CO2 (that "dangerous gas" 'n all that) than the rest of the world combined. There's no amount of "CO2 emission cutting" the rest of the world can do, to make up for the crap China and India put into the air themselves.
Simple pay to play.
