I will be 72 and they will still have to run me down in my Dodge Charger and I will make sure I have nitrous by then!!
I HATE being told what to do or what to buy!!!!
I hate even MORE being told what I CAN’T DO or BUY!
Insanity.
It’s about control.
CO2 has nothing to do with it.
It’s just the convenient vehicle.
I just hope there are enough semi-sane people in Congress and the bill won’t pass.
Soon by a government near you - ration cards. The state will issue ration cards controlling how many miles you can drive in a month (it is for the children). Everyone will get one card for 100 miles, sorry if you have to drive further but we have to save the earth don’t you know. /S (was “s” really needed?
This initiative has nothing to do with protecting the environment. Automobiles represent freedom and movement. Statists want to restrict everyone.
By 2040, battery-electric cars and fuel-cell cars would have the same range (and same recharging/refueling rate) as today’s gasoline-fueled cars. In fact, battery charging rates would be almost the same as fueling a gasoline fueled car possibly as early as 2026.
Forget about the impossibility of meeting this goal and the cost of it if we did.
The only people who are going to support this is that small slice of Americans who are severe environmentalists and Climat Chage warriors.
I view this as a positive-—for Trump and the GOP. Most folks are not convinced that electric cars are for them yet.
This idiots think if they mandate this, we will buy electric cars from Detroit.
Obama already tried this and failed.
Not sure if this is pro-Tesla or anti-Tesla legislation as Musk has fallen out of favor with the Uber-Left.
Once again, the Democrats prove just how DIM they truly are!!!!
Vote for a Bright—NOT for a Dim!!!!
I think the Dems should run on making cars illegal on the first day of the new administration, in Jan. 2021!
It's the only position that conforms to their projections ...
Why wait 20+ years if we are all gonna be dead in 12 years?
Do I really need the < /sarc>?
Dumb.
This would destroy the petroleum industry, making gasoline and diesel rare and extremely expensive. Same for home heating oil.
Go power fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks, ocean liners, planes with solar power. Try it. Won’t work.
Petroleum products contain a tremendous amount of energy, and cheap. The reason for its high price is taxes. Nothing comes close.
” 30 percent more carbon in it than when I was born” Obviously another idiot who thinks carbon is carbon dioxide. It’s a chemical compound. It’s not carbon. They’ve demonized carbon.
Actually sitting around fires all the time, historically, made lungs pretty black. Lookup Otzi.
If we go back to the Stone Age, like eco nazis want, that’s what you’ll have again.
They won’t be happy until we’re driving around in Fred Flinstone mobiles. Them ??
Not so much. They will declare themselves immune from the law because they ARE CRUCIAL to D.C. and yes, they will still be there. EVIL DOESN’T DIE.
Are we planning to destroy our ability to wage war after 2040? No more fighter jets, drones or armor?
“When I take a lungful of air in this moment, it has 30 percent more carbon in it than when I was born,”
So what? Pull your head out of your ass Merkin...the air is fine out here.
Coming for my gas-powered car? Bring it on!
They hate guns and cars. Both empower the individual. They want total control. They want everyone’s movements to be controlled. That’s why they are pushing for “self-driving” cars, which they will control from a control center.
Except themselves. They will have the best of everything, as the ruling elite always has when the left is in power.
Come and take them! (many expletives suppressed).
look at the misleading words - “30 percent more carbon”. Yeah, 0.04% of the atmosphere is made to sound like it’s half of it.
