Conservative response: Then no longer subsidize it.
Liberal response: Then force them to take it.
The forcing part would actually be pretty easy. Just get the EPA to issue more and more stringent gas station regulations. Slowly but surely. Make it very expensive to follow those regulations. Poof! Eventually few or no gas stations. Gotta go electric, pal.
Something similar happened to a guy I know. He owned a gas station near me. The EPA showed up, and shut him down. Turns out his gasoline storage tank was the wrong type. It wasn’t leaking or anything like that. Just the wrong type.
His choice was either to dig up the old tank and replace it, or go out of business. He chose the latter.
“Just get the EPA to issue more and more stringent gas station regulations. “
That is exactly what is happening. The upcoming CAFE standards will require the car makers to suspend the laws of physics to meet them. The rats have every intention of regulating ICE vehicles off the roads. It is why all the car makers committed to all EV production but cars are planned out 4-5 years ahead of production. So EV sales tanking now is a big problem for them.
Already happening in California. Now it's $5.00 per gallon (previously $7.00).
Higher gas prices at the pump.
