Eat your peas.
Its a huge boost to China. They control the supply-chain for EV batteries and parts
Or what?
bingo!
the destruction of personal transportation is the real goal
elites exempt of course
And even for the few who have all of that working in their favor for an EV, there are times an EV won't do. (i.e. pickup chores, road trips in directions with few charging options, etc.). EV's should be a free market choice.
Well, no doubt it’s all gain for him and the Biden Crime Syndicate.
Quick question. Saudi oil production has been cut 3X yet the price of oil keeps dropping. Why? Is it because the economy is that bad? Or are we simply using less oil?
70% of all Cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo
At the current rate of consumption, demand will outweigh supply by 2030
Then what?
The non-elected bureaucrats are in charge of this country. Politicians exist to give the people the illusion of freedom of choice.
Public transport that for many, is not available, or impractical for where they live.
Public transport is fine if you live in a civilized society. You don’t have to drive as much and often it is faster.
However, we don’t live in a civilized society.
The public is signed up for this. My neighbor overspent on a KIA electric car, and couldn’t be prouder of himself.
The marketing of EVs has been genius. Now, the public wants one, with no regard to the shortcomings.
Under their thumb. Demon Rat party must be crushed.
Any government organization that attempts crap like this must be shuttered.
Its a plan that’s never going to happen. 🙄
I still don’t know where the Greenies think this power to charge these cars will come from. They want the grid to be powered by wind and solar, but what happens on a windless night? Where do they think the stored power is coming from? 100 megawatt batteries? There’s a certain justice to the rolling brownouts in CA since the Greenies have blocked every new power plant for the past 20 years and it’s going to get worse before it gets better if Dufus gets his way.
Finally, how does the EPA get to set laws without Congressional oversight? Or is this just another example of how our Congress lets us down by not doing their job?
Yes, they have wanted that for decades. But now, with autonomous vehicles, they can create it without the same "herding cattle" into buses and trains.
Centrally controlled, autonomous vehicles will give them full control over your mobility while creating the illusion that you have freedom of movement and choice.
A good many 2015 and earlier model gasoline-powered vehicles shall still be on the road and daily users in 2030 and even 2032, There will be a huge aftermarket demand for the necessary parts to keep these vehicles in running condition. New vehicle sales shall plunge to levels not known except in time of war. Between December 7, 1941 and about July or so in 1945, NO new automobiles were for sale in the United States. There was still some limited manufacture going on, but it was all and entirely for exclusive military use as staff cars and diplomatic vehicles. Supply of new automobiles did not catch up with demand until about the mid-1950’s. Many of the old prewar vehicles were virtually remanufactured in the years between 1945 and about 1953 or so, restorations to original factory specifications.
Little-known statistic - of the four million or so of Model A Fords built between 1928 and 1931, two million or so were still daily drivers in 1950. They had such a high survival ratio because almost anyone could overhaul one under a shade tree in the back yard. Of course, driving one was like trying to pilot a chicken coop down the road.
