Electric Vehicles
May 13, 2023 01:31:00 #
Are European nations embracing all electric vehicles and pushing like Joe Biden is jamming this down Americans' throats? What about NASCAR and Formula One? Can you imagine the soon to be run Indy 500 having to use electric vehicles? I recall the hub bub back in the day when the gas turbine showed up and nearly won the Indy 500 by a lot had it not been for a bearing failure???

Top Gun took a shot at E-Cars mixing apples, oranges, and rotten eggs.
Joe Biden is jamming this down Americans' throats?
Americans buying E-Cars because of incentives and because it is the modern thing... same reason I purchased my Ford Mustang convertible in 1964.
Biden is pushing the installation of charging stations to remove the reason people are reluctant to buy an E Car. Tesla leads in the design of reliable stations that will charge any brand of E Car. The long run economy of owning an E Car is attractive and is getting better with improvements and price cuts.
Did Presidents Taft and Wilson shove gasoline powered Cars down peoples throats from 1910-1914 to get rid of horses and buggies? NO! Nor is Biden shoving E Cars down American throats.
What about NASCAR and Formula One? Can you imagine the soon to be run Indy 500 having to use electric vehicles?
Really Top Gun, is this a reason to make a law to ban E Cars? How many Americans drive in NASCAR and Formula One? Times Change. Can you imagine the quake when Ford introduced the V-8 ? Sport can set their rules. We all know that E Cars would win the Pikes Peak run.
Top Gun "don't stand in the door way" as warned Nobel Poet laureate Bob Dylan who sang about... "Times Are a Changin' "

Do away with government subsidies and incentives and people mostly won't come near an EV.
Leave it to the open market and see how they do

Yeah, that would work really well with solar energy as well.

What do you not understand?
Most would not be converting their home power without subsidies.
Old thinking will eventually leave naysayers out in the cold.

Other than the Executive usurping the role of the Legislature?

D... You are so wrong.
"WASHINGTON/DETROIT, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. government plans to end purchases of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 in a move to lower emissions and promote electric cars under an executive order signed by President Joe Biden on Wednesday."

Meanwhile Biden, via the EPA, has ordered all natural gas- and coal-fueled power plants to reduce emissions by 90% between 2035 and 2040, or be closed down. (Again the Executive acting as Legislature.)
What will be the new source of electricity to power all of the EVs that Biden and his controllers envision we will have by that time?

His Executive Orders are being implemented through regulations coming from the various federal agencies.

That's called an "incentive". bubba.
MAYbe manufacturers will use this timetable to make quieter, efficient, less polluting vehicles.
It wasn't that long ago that "forced" diesels to install devices to cut pollution. Remember? Still gots trucks!
We keep hearing of groundwater pollution from leaking gas stations.
We just had another ahole try to cut off a tanker on the freeway. Ka Booom!!
Wouldn't be nice for Americans to have a nice quiet reliable commuter vehicle that you just plug in at night?
I remember blowby tubes aimed at the ground, black grease strips in the middle of the lanes.
I remember that living in LA,CA was like smoking over a pack a day.
I remember the sky turning from blue and clear to yellow to brown throughout the day.
Is ths the "good 'ol days" you want to go back to? Bubba?

Once again the executive order is a goal not an “ order”
