Making everyone use electric cars is a control on Movement

Same is true of driverless cars. Unbelievably, some Freepers actually support these totalitarian schemes.

[a fool in paradise]

They’ve already managed to outlaw certain toilets, lightbulbs, ac units, analog tv broadcasts, and dishwasher detergents...

They will take combustible engines from private hands.

For your own good. < / sarc>

Same is true of driverless cars.

These are called BUSSES.

Busses are like regular elevators.

Driverless cars would be similar to pater noster ones.

[Datom]

The NASCAR races in CA should be interesting ie; 1 hour pit stops to “refuel.”

[Slyfox]

LA has lots and lots of oil wells:

[Impy]

Is it possible to imagine a world without carbon-spewing gasoline-powered cars and trucks? California should join the effort and move toward banning sales of new carbon-emitting vehicles as soon as is practical. And maybe even a little sooner.

Hardened crackheads must be lining up at the LA times building in the hopes the LA Times editorial board will share some the next-level shiite they must be smoking over there.

My environmental plan, not a single tree more should get chopped down to print this birdcage liner.

[GOPsterinMA]

And yet we burn food, corn, for fuel, which they do apparently love.

And burning corn leads to both an increase in the price of other foods, meat especially.

And ethanol production uses huge amounts of water, also depleting that resource.

Hypocrisy, thy name is “Liberalism”.

Also:

Watch for the big push for electric, self driving, ride share golf carts for travel. (((They’ll))) push this even harder now that “The Trucks Of Peace” have been used in theUSA.

Under the guises of alleviating traffic, environmental protection and yes, security, another facet of population control will be hoisted upon us.

[jjotto]

The price of US corn is at or below cost of production. How much cheaper do you think it could get?

[mewzilla]

I wonder how many vehicles the owners of the LAT have....?

[GOPsterinMA]

Then why has the cost of meats increased so much? Everything I’ve seen and read attributes it to increased corn prices.

Using corn is bulls**t; a gift to big agra. Pretty much any plant can be used for ethanol production. But there’s no profit in using “junk” plants and trees.

[jjotto]

So you see and read wrong. Not my problem.

[GOPsterinMA]

Ok Farmer Ted. That’s why my biggest client is involved in the ethanol industry and Thanks God everyday for corn.

Guess the checks I receive from them are wrong too.

[jjotto]

Most profit from ethanol comes from selling distiller’s grains as animal food.

[GOPsterinMA]

That’s one avenue.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Using corn is bulls**t; a gift to big agra. Pretty much any plant can be used for ethanol production. But there’s no profit in using “junk” plants and trees.”

YUP....FACT.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Paris is a bad deal because our emissions are actually slowly dropping on their own.

The nightmare of foisting puny electric cars on an unreceptive population continues.

DOOMAGE!

I absolutely agree. If they believe fossil fuels are killing the planet, they need to live up to their convictions and not have their lives facilitated by the sane among us. Our sanity should not enable their lives and their ability to be self-righteous and look down upon us, their betters.

[Kickass Conservative]

I guess all the Mexican guys who Home deliver the LA Times every morning are driving Electric Cars and Trucks.
