Absolutely agree

Govt didn’t “Phase out horses”; the automobile demonstration of better comfort, longer range and higher speed made the horse “obsolete”. No Govt meddling required

Should have been the exact same model for incandescent lightbulbs. But Govt screwed this up too. CFCs were a horrible solution, now LEDs earned the spot. Brighter, longer life, more efficient, immune to vibrations and cheap

Let capitalism work

How can so many intelligent people be so stupid. I do not want an EV. Period. Plant more trees folks!

The US antiquated grid needs a Trillion dollar plus grid upgrade..even without the electric cars.

See where this is going?

Europeans haven’t figured out yet how to integrate properly the software required to operate their new EV vehicles. They are far behind Tesla in this regard. The VW ID-4 is a hot mess, for example.

Just providing the amount of hay to eat, and straw to bed them in stables, would take 3 neighboring states.

Since I nothing to little about the nation's electrical grid, no I don't see where this going, other than more control by our idiot leaders.

You may want to ask EEgator.

” European Parliament and the European Council “

Must be nice to tell a billion people what to do without having to ask their vote for it.

At least. But the purpose of EVs is twofold: funnel wealth to deep state functionaries and supporters by distorting market forces (ie. Forcing an unwanted and inferior choice on consumers) and restrict the ability of the serfs to travel around. Both very worthwhile goals of the deep state minions.

Before you “phase out” ANYTHING, you come up with a TRIED, WORKABLE alternative - FIRST.

They'll learn the hard way - this winter will be a taste of the future for the EU fools...

Dear Greens;

We’re tired of power cables shoved up our rectums and we’re leaving. So long and thanks for nothing.

Signed,

The Unicorns.
