During an interview with the Fox News Channel aired on Friday’s “Special Report,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) responded to arguments that electric vehicle adoption should be determined by consumer demand by saying “Okay, but can I also remind you that the companies didn’t like catalytic converters? They didn’t like seat belts.” And that while companies should see what consumers want, “we also need to make sure that we are ready for the vehicles of the future and global climate change is real.”
Dingell said, [relevant exchange begins around 4:45] “We are not banning the production of internal combustion engines. People can drive them. The global marketplace wants electric vehicles as well. They are part of a production mix, part of a product mix. I’m going to keep this country, this state competitive. So, they’re part of the vehicle mix.”

Yeah that’s right Debbie Dingbat. Companies didn’t like catalytic converters or seatbelts. But they’re going to just LOVE flaming cars, parking structures and houses. Ya dolt!
Dingell is saying that Big Brother knows better. Big Brother always knows better.
So if Big Brother says drive an EV and eat insects, you’d better drive an EV and eat insects.
Yeah right. Might as well have said "If you like your car you can keep it."
Berry, do you have one in your garage?
I won’t take scientific advice from people who don’t know the difference between a man and a woman.
Dumbass. Comparing EVs to catatlytic converters and seat belts is like comparing dingleberry to a sailcat.
I still don’t like seatbelts or catalytic converters.
“Debbiew Dingell” describes her name, and also her technical IQ. Ms Dingell-berry could be out argued by any techno who could pass “Science for Poets” class.
All Dingels are this stupid.
“... and global climate change is real.” Dingell[berry] said
The stupid: It burns.
Of course there are plenty of imbeciles in Congress but she in particular shows the peril of have a spouse inherit a seat when her spouse kicks off. Having a dead husband was her primary qualification for the gig
CAGW is not really real.
Not everyone wanted facemasks and vaccines either.
We don’t like you Debbie does Dingell.At least converters and seat belts work, are based on actual science and not junk global warming “science”, weren’t cost prohibitive, didn’t put thousands out of work, and on and on. While you are at it, shove your CAFE standards.
Not sure if this is a good example here.
Carl Sagan said about all outlandish scientific ideas being accepted:
“But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”
― Carl Sagan, Broca’s Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science
80% of all scientific papers are wrong.
Neither of which put car prices out of reach for most people, were based on immature battery technology, reduced the range and increased time of distance traveled, were problematic in summer heat and winter cold, had a tendency to spontaneously ignite the car, or depended on an already stretched coal and natural gas fueled energy supply. If it wasn’t already his birth name Dingle would be a top choice.
Dingell thinks the government invented seatbelts.
They were first introduced commercially by Nash in 1949 and, more significantly, by Ford in 1956. That’s 10 years before the guvmnt’ required them in new cars.
What a ditz.
