If you like your car, good luck keeping it. Biden's EV mandate drives change people don't want.
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/car-good-...091209528.html If this happens, the grid will not be able to handle the electrical demand. What a bunch of buffoons in this administration. Hydrogen fuel cell is what should be next. |

Biden's agenda is similar to what we did in CA a few years ago, where we required older cars to meet emissions standards they were never designed to meet so they were legislated off the road by being 'gross polluters'. Like telling a 90 year old man who ran the 100 in ten flat when he was 20 years old that he now has to run it in 7 flat or get put down. Or that we all have to swim to the moon. Utter horseshit, a revolution or civil war is eminent.

Yeah the grades here out west are brutal, and you've done them. So have I, 18 mph over the grapevine, emergency's on, 101, 17, 58, and on and on. Gut-wrenching, gear-grinding STEEP ass grades that an EV has NO place on....can you imagine losing power on a downgrade in an EV with no compression braking available even? YIKES.

One of my son's ex- friends, liberal gal, was thrilled when a new solar farm cropped up just outside our city. I asked her if she thought that small amount of electricity was more helpful to society than a small farm growing vegetables. She wouldn't respond.

My walk behind mower in nearing 20 years old, and I just rebuilt it. I might get 8 or 9 years on a power tool battery. |

![]() Totalitarian regimes always control people's movements. If you're old enough, you'll remember the "Iron Curtain" and the "Berlin Wall," both to keep Soviet subjects IN the Soviet Union. The push to EVs is because of the push to tyranny. You will have limited mobility because there (purposely) won't be enough electricity produced, or they will simply activate the kill switch on your vehicle, which all vehicles will be required to have in a few years. It's already a done deal, as I recall. They are regulating IC vehicles out of existence, by making regulations so ridiculous that no manufacturer will be able to comply with them. It's a global Marxist revolution, disguised, as they always are. |

![]() The debate shouldn't be over IC cars vs. EVs -- other than as a personal preference. It should be over: Do you like government forcing you to do or buy things, or do you favor liberty? |

Republicans, including Trump, should be talking about this type of stuff 24/7 instead of constantly talking about 2020 and lawsuits.
