If President Biden’s electric-vehicle mandate is as popular as progressives claim, why are they trying to censor critics who want to inform the public about the mandate’s costs?
That’s the story this week, after the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) launched ads in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio and Montana to educate Americans about the Administration’s back-door EV mandate. Mr. Biden is “rushing to ban new gas-powered cars” and wants “to force you into an electric vehicle,” one ad says.
The Biden team doth protest. “There is no EV mandate,” a Biden campaign official declared. No? The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed greenhouse gas emissions standards that would effectively require that EVs make up two-thirds of auto maker sales by 2032. The standards will “accelerate the transition to electric vehicles,” EPA said.
EPA’s proposed emissions rules are so stringent that auto makers will be able to comply only by producing an increasing number of “zero-emission vehicles” or by buying regulatory credits from EV manufacturers like Tesla. Americans shopping for a new car will have no choice but to buy an EV or pay a fortune for the few gas-powered cars still available.
Yet Mr. Biden and his allies don’t want voters to know that banning gas-powered cars is their end game. That’s why the progressive umbrella group Climate Power on Tuesday shot off a missive to broadcasters demanding that they pull the AFPM ads—or else. These “advertisements include obvious lies aimed at deceiving the public and must be pulled from the air immediately,” Climate Power chief operating officer Jill Shesol wrote. But who’s actually trying to deceive the public?

Sad that progressives are working so hard to suppress the rights that our forefathers fought and died to secure for us! If we lose the n3xt election, the ,eft WILL stack the supreme court in such a way as to ensure that they will never have a minority nu,ber on the bench again, and our last line of legal defense agaisnt a government gone rogue will vanish altogether.
Trump was right- if we lose the next election, the nation is done because evil will consume it- destroy it. Destroy liberties and co stithtional and sc protections
I can just see the Big Government mandate now. Since it is so very unfair that gasoline vehicle owners can ‘charge’ their cars in 4-5 minutes, flow regulators will be mandated on every gasoline pump to match the hours it takes to charge an EV. In the name of ‘charging equity’ every gasoline pump will be limited to dispense just a few ounces of gasoline per hour. In very cold areas, the limiter would be programed to dispense almost nothing. Only then will everyone be equally inconvenienced. The Hussein/Biden Regime will call it the Inconvenience Equity Act.
Is there ANYTHING the tyrannical Dems won’t ban?
Ban Trump from running.
Ban gas cars.
Ban fossil fuels.
Ban ads the expose the ban on gas cars.
Ban Trump from owning businesses in NY.
Ban guns.
Ban the death penalty.
Ban private healthcare.
Ban the filibuster.
Ban the Electoral College.
Ban “gig work.”
Ban the right to work.
Ban stores with separate “boys” and “girls” sections.
The ‘Climate’ clowns sound and act more ‘evangelical’ all the time. They have made themsleves ridiculous.
the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is going about this the wrong way, They need to Publicly Endorse Bidens EV mandate by STOPPING All Sales and Deliveries of any Petroleum Product within a 300 mile radius of DC, then the Ruling Class can show America how their plans work in real life.
The TV station I work for got one of these C&Ds. We responded by telling them to buy their own ads and sent them a copy of our rate card. Then thinking they can just bully us into pulling ads they don’t like is absurd. Pay to play, sweety.
they would just have military deliver the fuel.
