All I said is there is a major shift coming. I'm not sure what form it will take but it will be very uncomfortable for everyone regardless of their politics. Outspoken? I'm just saying the same thing anyone else with their eyes open can see. What's that old saying, "I take responsibility for what I say but I can't take responsibility for you understanding it. Feel free, smoke your brains out.

As I said, I'm not a big EV proponent, but the alternative is what, continue to dump endless amounts of carbon into the atmosphere? I'm just looking around at what alternatives there might be. Somewhere along the line we're going to reach a tipping point and then you'll see everyone desperately back peddling as fast as they can but I'm afraid it will be too late by then. I don't have the answers that's for sure, just looking for them.

But perhaps you’re thinking of ‘socialism’ as in Nicolás Maduro is a ‘socialist’ because he says he is. He isn’t. That’s like me saying I’m Swedish. It doesn’t matter how many times I say it, I’m not. But you’ve already won, F30. You always win. Don’t you ? |

Right, that's not what I was talking about, no shit it's happening in the real world we can read the news. I am talking about the imaginary fears that it's some big bad boogeyman, like people on that side talk with things like "War on Christmas" and their new favorite, people trying to ban gas stoves.

Back on topic, 20 years ago EVs were not good at all, like the Chevy S10 which had 70 miles of range. Now models have been range. Wyoming has some of the lowest EV purchases in the whole US, so understandably I don't see the point of it other than posturing.

Apparently it is there are kids in my child H.S. That identify as a squirrels there’s a school in Illinois that had placed litter box in the bathroom because there’s a group of students identifying as cats. So yes. You can be a rock these days 😂I am not sure it’s healthy though

That said, the current ICE bans in the US are all at the state. Where, as you stated, the politicians are doing the will of their voters. So, from your perspective, this should be a perfect path as it is the most in line with "federalism". Quote:
I also find it quite ironic that all of your "benefits" of subsidies for the oil industry are much more effective in a renewable energy future. Making a case for government subsidies to get us there... "The Government subsidizes oil for a myriad of reasons that benefits national security to supporting the economy by reducing the prices of products that rely on petrochemicals, which is nearly everything one buys or needs in life; from food, clothing, housing, electricity, and God say it, clean air and health care." |

Social media I agree is a blessing and a curse, made us more connected but the algorithms pushed hate content and things that purposely make us angry. Most of us have more in common than we expect but get pushed into tribes.

But like I said in my original post, we can keep ICE for nice motorsports because we are a niche minority anyway. A couple hundred thousand cars used on tracks once In a while is nothing compared to hundreds of.millions gas guzzling cars on the road driven by people who Dont understand cars and can't drive anyway. Electric suits them.better |

Just like how the typewriter manufacturer laughed at the Computer and bemoaned at the US Government for creating the Internet. The world is moving on from ICE cars. But I’m sure you can still find a typewriter manufacturer or two who are certain the computer will fail any day now and everyone will line up for a typewriter again! |

Question- Would EV even be at 10% where they are now without government mandates? |
