I understand both sides of the debate. Some never will. Many do not know what Mercury Poisoning is or what using Coal as an energy source does to all natural forms of life.

Hi Jeremy. The real reason that Ford, Chevy, ect are going EV is also why Ford went to Aluminum. IE the EPA. Less weight, better gas mileage. EV, perfect gas Mileage. Do I think EV is the way to go? Only if you live in a large/big city. Same as for LE Car. But people don't want to know the Truth, just their taught beliefs. Pity IMO.

What was proposed was not a bill or law. It was a "Resolution". It has no binding or teeth behind it. It was done to show support for our oil, gas, and coal industry.


yes I know it will never be a law or were they serious but it was just a statement supporting oil and gas and pointing out the utter insanity of the laws banning the sale of new gas cars in 2035 that several of the intellectually dishonest liberal states are passing. electric cars with their battery production and disposal has just as much if not more environmental problems as gas powered cars and renewable wind and solar power has just as much environmental problems as oil production and the greedy " clean energy" big business is just as greedy if not more than "big oil"

It’s not that they don’t care
It’s just that they put money before anything else
They would sit and watch every family member die as long as they got paid 👎🤬🤣

The rare earth minerals needed for electric cars are mined by child labor in africa and china
The batteries for electric cars are toxic and cant be put in a landfil…so where they gonna put them after replacement
Electricity is created using fossil fuels….
Our power grid cany handle a simple heat wave…how do they expect everyone to juice up?
Once you leave your house,..theres no where to recharge.

Electric cars is a lofty goal but not feasable or practical yet.

Shouldn't ban nothin'!
If you like the idea of an electric car, buy one. With less demand, maybe the price of gas will go down.
If you prefer gas or diesel, stay with that.

No one else should be able to tell you what you should like or dislike.

I don't care what you want to drive either. I just don't want anyone of them subsidized. Let the free market decide. Keep government out of it.
