From The Patriot Nation.net (Aug. 15):
Well, they really wanted Americans to suffer for more…
On Thursday, President Joe Biden has announced a commitment from U.S. carmakers that electric vehicles will make up as much as half of their sales by the end of the decade.
Auto executives and lawmakers joined Biden on the White House South Lawn as he signed an executive order on the voluntary commitment.
It’s a joyful collaboration, with the Big Auto and the White House to push President Joe Biden’s radical climate plan, which would fatten their coffers while draining American customers’ bank accounts.
The administration wants automakers to raise gas mileage and cut tailpipe pollution between now and model year 2026.
The moves are big steps toward Biden’s pledge to cut emissions and battle climate change as he pushes to shift the nation away from internal combustion engines and toward battery-powered vehicles.
Last week, the country’s largest automakers committed that by 2030, electric vehicles will account for 40 to 50 percent of yearly sales, “moving the country closer to a zero-emissions future consistent” with the Paris Climate Accord.
And it’s too bad if this corporate pandering to the left’s climate alarmism forces consumers to pay more for the gas-powered cars that most Americans prefer.
This unholy alliance between Big Auto and Big Government, which accounts for just 3 percent of U.S. car sales, is a massive undertaking designed to bully consumers into buying more expensive, less-efficient electric cars.
Electric cars are mostly used in big cities and cost roughly $55,600.
Prioritizing electric vehicles alienates suburbanites — but that’s the Biden administration’s not-so-secret goal anyway. [read more]
Nothing against electric cars but you have to plug them into a power source eventually. If America can’t have coal power plants and nuclear power plants then what are electric car owners going to them into? Wind turbines? Don’t think so. Solar power cells? Won’t work during the night.
