Will this be popular in California? Will PG&E offer to subsidize EV purchases?
Coal-powered cars - yep, that's cutting edge. (As I blow by them with my big, honkin', gas-guzzlin' V-8)
Reminder of why these people should not ever be in charge again.
Three thousand dollars? What a piker. In the NEW America, this is all supposed to be free. I should send him a picture of an oil sump or a pile of burning tires, but that would probably get me a visit from the SS.
No.
So we get $3000 to buy an electric car, and, voila, all electric cars will go up in price by $3000. Brilliant.
Just gimme gimme gimme $3,000!
Having a car is privilege!

Chuck Schumer knows he is lying about vehicle emissions influencing our climates. How can he live with himself? Why is he not in daily mental torment for lying so much?
Question for you, Senator Schumer:
Why go through the trouble of conversion? In the 10-year timeline of your legislation, the Earth will already be an unrecoverable disaster, and New York, Los Angeles, etc. will be underwater — all thanks to fossil fuels.
Let’s enjoy the few years we have left before the Green Deal catastrophe hits Earth and we shall die as a species.
Rather than controlling gasoline, we should be enjoying its benefits. Drink up and enjoy my FRiends, for tomorrow we shall die! /sarc
ANYTHING coming from this NY communist POS should be immediately shot down regardless of how “good it sounds”.
The Future = The Government making you buy CRAP you don’t want
Cash for clunkers?? How much can we get Schumer and Pelosi?
Tell you what Chuck, Texas will just stop shipping our oil to your state altogether.
Problem solved. You freeze in the dark.
Too lazy to crank the numbers, but it should be possible to figure out how much energy is generated by burning the gasoline we use annually, and then converting that number to the amount of electricity that has to be added to the grid to act as a replacement. That number has to be enormous, and in terms of both generation and distribution a number that is really intimidating (if realistic at all).
I’m not expecting Schumer to worry about a fine detail like that, however.
Chuck should set an example and have his Party turn in all their gas/diesel vehicles for Electric even the planes and helicopters they use ,LOL
Air pollution from emissions of modern vehicles are relatively low. Let the manufacturers develop a better product and keep the govt the hell out of it with subsidies.
The environmental damage of all those batteries would be apocalyptic. Plus it can’t be done.
It is very important to drive up the price of used cars so that poor and middle class citizens cannot drive. They are just clogging up the highways and should be riding in buses anyway.
With that initiative, the freeways clear up so that our rulers can get around quickly in their electric cars and do the important business of governing us.
***which would provide rebates of $3,000 or more to individual buyers, ****
How about just giving me the $3,000 dollars in cash for each of the junkers I have on my place! I don’t need or want a new car.
