#14  Someone will make an electric golf cart that counts as a car and people will buy them for a few thousand to make the GIVERnment feel like they are being helpful.

#13  ...not to be confused by our Founding Fathers who remembered to implement at the earliest possible date permitted in the Constitution to ban further importation of slaves.

In 1807, the U.S. Congress passed a statute prohibiting the importation of slaves as of the first constitutionally-allowable moment of January 1, 1808. This act was signed by President Jefferson and entered into force in 1808, rendering this part of the Constitution irrelevant except as a historical curiosity. (or a bludgeon to blame later generations for something they never did in their lifetimes)

#12  This is an example of why we should be happy that our leaders have the attention span of a gnat. This will all long be forgotten by 2032.

Just go back to 2000 or so and look at all the "mandates" to be accomplished by 2020.

BTW: ever seen an Electric Car fire.
My son is a Fireman in the Metro-Atlanta area says it can take hours and produces a lot of Bio-Hazard issues.

Question: How many new Nuke Plants does the USSA Junta plan to build to support the enormous power drain this will cause to the already over taxed power grids on the West Coast and Northeastern seaboard?

Note: It takes about 8-10 years to plan, get approval, build and test a Nuke Power generator before use..

So they better have started back 2020.

A Junta Order to rescinded 2024 or sooner.

Because the US Constitution does not give him the power to mandate such items or issues.

#8  Not to mention there isn't enough lithium in the world to build all the batteries and the environmental problems with disposing of worn out batteries

#6 And other factors for the EV Mindset Folks

EVs Cost 1.6 To 2.3 Times More To Service Than Internal Combustion Vehicles, New Study Shows

Keep in mind that for this crowd, that's a feature, not a bug - if people can't afford the repairs, they won't drive.

#3  Where are you going to charge the electric vehicles?

They'll have some slaves enemies of the people undergoing their rehabilitation sentence turn dynamo wheels.

#2  I can't wait for all of the lithium ion car battery fires.

#1  It's a totally genius plan! I only have one question:
a) Where are you going to charge the electric vehicles?
b) What are you going to charge them with?

Yeah, I know that is two questions, but arithmetic is not a strong point with this crowd. As you can see by the fact that no one is talking about these questions.
