DETROIT (AP) — Casting his climate policy as a jobs plan, President Joe Biden left out important context and used fuzzy math when he announced sweeping new green initiatives that he says will boost the U.S. economy with the creation of 1 million new auto jobs....
...One million new jobs in the auto industry is a highly ambitious goal that would mean more than doubling the number of workers now employed in motor vehicle and parts manufacturing.
Many analysts and the United Auto Workers union, in fact, have warned that electric vehicle manufacturing probably will mean fewer net auto-making jobs.
... And because electric vehicles generally have 30% to 40% fewer parts and are simpler to build, fewer workers will be needed to assemble them. That will require a reshuffling of jobs, as workers who once made engines, transmissions and other components for gas-powered cars have to switch to electric motors and batteries...
...The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment when asked for a breakdown of the 1 million new auto jobs that shows an accounting for lost jobs.

Did y'all in the auto industry get that?
Joseph Stolen is an idiot.
Just like “Cash for Clunkers”
Destroy all the perfectly fine ICE autos and force people to buy new EVs.
Why not have people dig ditches and fill them in? Same economic effect.
Of course there will be lots of new jobs building new power plants, transmission lines, and distribution lines to recharge all those high-polluting batteries.
He’s got a great Five Year Plan for everything.
And then repeated it.
“Ape Pee”
The Democratic Party is opening a new intelligence agency. They are hiring informers and they want you to spy on your neighbors for their White Supremacist activities.
“Man Of Stole”
They know their jobs claims are BS. They know that real people will suffer. They’re to be sacrificed on the altar of a climate fairy tale because that’s what their lunatic base demands. These people truly have no soul
I think like four years ago in Germany, they laid out the whole future for E-cars....admitting that the whole car industry would downsize by 2030....cutting around 30 to 40 percent of all jobs. At least they were very honest about this business...there is zero growth in the future for the car industry...only downsizing.
They actually factchecked old Pedo-joe? My my. Miracles never cease to wonder.
A rare moment of sentience for the AP for them to point to in the future to claim they aren’t biased partisan hacks.
No less tone deaf than John Kerry suggesting petroleum industry workers displaced by the XL pipeline shutdown o into making solar panels.
Harris & Pelousy will not put up with him very much longer...
He has already set the table... He can be flushed down the crapper anytime...
The communists are on an unstoppable roll...
Joe Stalin —> Joe Stolen
The man is BS.
Beyond stupid...
“Did y’all in the auto industry get that?”
The already had that loud and clear, and are making medium and long term preparations.
EVEN IF the Dems get shut down in the midterms, the damage is done.
lol
or as fdr proposed
empty the atlantic ocean into the pacific ocean
by means of a bucket brigade
‘power plants’? you want to pollute ????
Figure out how many windmills and solar panels it takes to charge one electric vehicle for one day and require that number be built for every electric vehicle sold.
You notice that the AP only cares if it’s union jobs lost Screw all the people who work in the gas and oil industry.
