But I don’t have a small yard! And I also drive 25 miles to work!

My point was the electric tools are fine for some jobs.

Batteries simply haven’t comparable energy storage at comparable cost to hydrocarbon fuels and therefore make sense only in very limited situations.

It is evil of some like the RomanWarCriminal to have the government steal my earnings to pay for their electric toy cars.The Founders would not have approved.

I think we both agree electric cars are a bad idea.

Electric yard tools - to each his own. I haven’t had much luck myself.

I think conservatives need to be more careful about calling someone “evil” for using a tax incentive. Do you deduct your donations from your taxes? Do you deduct your mortgage interest? Do you claim dependents? Even if you don't, are all those who do “evil”?

Yes, electric cars have some kinks to work out and the price needs to come down more. However, the potential for the West to be able to stick it to the petro-tyrants of the world, depriving them of their income, all while transitioning to homegrown electricity, seems to me to be a cause that conservatives should get behind, not fight against.
