I’ll cough up the cash to convert my large truck to propane before I would ever consider owning a tiny and soulless Prius, etc.

I used to drive a Ford propane equipped truck for a roofing company.

It had the 390 block which could be a pretty good performer, but the propane lowered the power a lot.

and it was hard to find fuel that they would dispense into an auto, or the places that had the fittings to dispense auto taxed propane.

You have to do some planning for that, but it wasn’t all bad.

As far as the rest, they are deluded in believing that doing even more of what has ruined the heavy industrial base of this country will magically improve America and make the birds sing and the Sun shine more brightly.

Namely, more regulation.

In that event, say goodbye to most of the auto business in America, and start buying the Chinese cars that are waiting in the wings.

Go diesel - all the torque - more efficiency (mileage).
