The global climate is always changing, but contrary to the popular narrative, the science on the exact causes is far from settled. Alarmists claim that humans burning fossil fuels for energy will catastrophically ruin the climate, and they demand a “net-zero” future to save the world.
What would happen if the climate alarmists actually succeeded in the United States?
Although it is impossible to predict the future, early warning signs from President Joe Biden’s policies don’t paint a pretty picture.
Decreased Individual Mobility
First, if the federal government bans gas-powered cars, individual transportation would get less reliable and more expensive.
Americans prefer gas-powered cars over the electric cars favored by climate alarmists. In November, a coalition of nearly 4,000 auto dealers sent a letter to Biden explaining that his plan to force Americans to buy electric vehicles won’t work.
The auto dealers warned that “the supply of unsold [battery electric vehicles] is surging, as they are not selling nearly as fast as they are arriving at our dealerships—even with deep price cuts, manufacturer incentives, and generous government incentives.”
Despite subsidies to encourage manufacturers to make electric vehicles and tax credits for drivers to buy the cars, only 7% of new vehicle sales are electric, compared with Biden’s goal of 60% in 2030 and 66% in 2032.
Americans have many reasons to prefer gas-powered cars, as explained by Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate and Environment. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news outlet.)
Drivers may refuel gas-powered cars in five or 10 minutes at a gas station, while recharging an electric vehicle may take 45 minutes or longer for a full charge. Most drivers of electric vehicles prefer to keep their battery above 20%, and the charging process gets longer when the battery reaches 80%.

Seems like a losing battle for us. The cultists are winning and will win because of the ignorance of the average US citizen.
The average US citizen likes to gas up in 5 mins and thinks EVs are for sissies.
EVs are piling up, unsold.
The only people who believe this nonsense are leftists in an echo chamber.
Yes, the truth is finally coming out.
And the solution will be — trillions in tax dollars to save the EV industry. I expect this to happen.
After all, it is about global warming... and we are all going to DIE! if we don’t do something now! WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!
Difficult to fight a religious cult when its members are brainwashed.
Plug in yer car yet?
This is a good reference for facts!

Wouldn’t be at all surprised. For the Greater Good, doncha know...
Sadly, that is probably right.
Climate is just the pretext. These type of folks touted a similar dystopia in the 1960s based on hysteria about the “population explosion”. But that didn’t get any traction.
None of these facts are true! All the thermometers have been hacked!Or the observers lied! Very sophisticated propaganda:

and how Great life would get if Americans would collectively tell these freaks F.O.!
Earth is millions of years old. It has gone through hundreds, probably thousands, of cycles of climate change. According to the Climate Change Acolytes, for the first time in the history of the universe, climate change is caused by human activity. You are going to have to show me some pretty solid proof to have me believe such a unique and unprecedented causation.
EVs are one thing. People can put up with the inconvenience of an auto that is crappy compared to a gasoline car.
But the far FAR bigger issue is electricity that costs fives times more and is only on 18 hours per day. That’s where the real hurt will happen. And it is coming quickly.
These greeniacs are reshaping our electrical power system without a clue about what they are doing.
they would never agree on anything and go to war with each other
1. Silence
2. Immobilize
3. Disarm
4. Kill
Change my mind...
No. I’m not letting go of my ICE. I have a carport at my house, and I’m not going to have it destroyed by an EV fire.
The Climate Alarmists never mention the massive volcanic eruptions that pumped billions of tons of vapor and ash into the upper atmosphere. Vapor and ash have a dictatorial influence on our atmosphere by effecting sunlight and the temps of the atmosphere, ergo, rain and snow fall.
An example is the Tong Volcano pumped 58 billion tons of vapor and ash into the upper atmosphere thus having a direct weather effect of rainfall, snowfall, winds and temps. It will take years for the vapor and ash to fall out of the air and the wx to settle down. Besides the Jan 15,2022 Tonga there were two other volcanoes that erupted make a grand total of 100 billion tons of material floating in the atmosphere. Scientists say that the single Tonga volcano literally shook the entire earth and was the most severe in over 1200 years.
It’s freezing here in southern Pennsylvania. I don’t know how much of this global warming I can take.😉
“These greeniacs are reshaping our electrical power system without a clue about what they are doing.”
The primary controversy surrounding our government is whether they are simply stupid, actively evil, or both.
It’s not encouraging.
