What a moron.
Just like they are trying to do to guns! Ban the ammo.
PS. Quit giving them ideas to kill us off.
“Just ban gasoline sales. Problem solved, right?”
Actually, i’d say that the problem would be solved in a matter of days.
Uh, no—they very well intend to do what they Re doing.
They are imbeciles for wanting to do it!.............
But we can count on Congress to rein in the out-of-control EPA and Executive. Right?
The American people will unelect the party/parties that adhere to such nonsense.
Too bad there is only one party ruling this collapsed nation.
Other people are running the show....It ain't BITEME.
Where are the CEO’s of the car companies? Why do they just go along to get along. I’m sure Biden has discussed this with them. They must be fine with it.
Ask any of these so-called homeless vets for their VA ID card.
There is that.

I imagine Biden is increasing sales of new gas vehicles. Get em while you still can.
” . . . agency was committed to finalizing a tailpipe standard that is “readily achievable, secures reductions in dangerous air and climate pollution and ensures economic benefits for families.”
Every part of that statement is a lie.
“Readily achievable” - only achievable if EV sales greatly outnumber ICE sales
“Reduction in dangerous air and climate pollution” - actual pollutants (like CO and nitrogen oxides) are now controlled to levels trivial compared to those of cars in the last century; “climate pollution” by CO2 is an unproven hypothesis with minimal practical consequences even if partially relevant. And any reductions in CO2 will be offset by an order of magnitude by coal-fired power plants in China and India - go sell your climate hysteria there, EPA.
“Economic benefits for families” - total and complete horse manure; forcing ordinary Americans into EV’s will increase purchase prices, increase their insurance rates, make even trivial repairs more expensive, tank resale values, increase the frequency of tire replacements, beat up the road infrastructure more rapidly, among other things.
If this crap is put into effect, have your kids consider a career in ICE auto repair and maintenance - it won’t be long before the streets in the States look like downtown Havana, dominated by cars many decades old, kept in service as a last resort.
And Suburban College Educated baby-killers will believe it.
Follow the money.
There is no infrastructure in place or proposed for the huge uptick in numbers of battery-powered EVs. Battery-powered EVs are and shall always be a niche market, and it is virtually saturated already.
But there is no alternative being developed to overcome the deficiencies of the scheme of using batteries and recharging from the electric grid spanning the nation. The electric grid is already being strained to its limits in places, especially now that wind and solar generation mandates are in place. Both these “renewable” sources are unreliable, take up far too many resources in their construction and placement, and are woefully under-engineered for the conditions facing deployment in the field.
The manufacture, distribution and proper management of the vast number of batteries necessary in this scheme present a series of individually insoluble problems, and taken in combination, cannot EVER reach the wide dispersion and acceptance that the hydrocarbon-fueled vehicles have achieved. The resources in minerals, transportation, delivery and environmental concerns cannot be developed on any cost-effective basis.
The concept of using electricity to provide traction power to a vehicle is really quite elegant. The problem is with the SOURCE of the electricity - is it possible to generate on-board electric power in sufficient quantity to make the design at least as reliable as the internal combustion engine-powered vehicles that have been around for well over a century already, and on a cost-competitive basis?
Combining an on-board electric generation system and coupling it to electric motors to drive the wheels directly, such as done with Diesel-electric railway locomotives, has been well engineered since the 1940’s, and the reliability has been proven over and over. It may be possible to develop a relatively compact fuel-cell design, using compressed hydrogen in tanks, to provide the energy, converted to a system to increase or decrease the power output of the fuel cell as needed, as power demands change.
But no, they are going to keep horsing around with these technological dead-ends, wasting who knows how much valuable capital and most importantly, time, in pursuing these fairy dust and unicorn fart schemes that are NEVER going to work.
The real climate crisis will occur when the unsold EVs pile up on dealers lots and spontaneously burst into flames ... millions upon millions of burning EVs will cause a climate disaster.
