bidens incredible transition to electric cars

[Timokreon]

It's real simple. I will purchase an electric vehicle when EVERY SINGLE democrat who is trying to shove this down our throats purchases one first. Just like I'll give up gas stoves, gas water heaters, etc.. when every single democrat does it first.

Until then, democrats = the party that tells you what to THINK, what to DO, what to SAY... meanwhile they do the exact opposite. The party of hypocrites.

+1^^.

As I see it, the Biden admin merely wants (wanted) to please those that held to climate change, global warming, and elimination of ANY dependency on fossil fuels. By doing so, they thought they'd secure the votes of their minions and their loyalty which they did to some degree and for a time.

In reality, that admin could care less, again IMO, about our environment as it was all about maintaining power.

People do NOT like being coerced into anything and not being allowed any options....I know I don't and I don't care what it is.

I also think EV's have a place but it's how the admin has been going about moving in that direction that gets under my skin.

Watch Landman

It will educate how the Oil and Gas Industry is not going away any time in our lifetime, nor the lifetime a thousand of years from now, IMO, EVERYTHING is made of Oil...I get lowering Emissions in vehicles, heck I lived through the 60s 70s where if you had your windows rolled down stuck in traffic you would get a large dose of tailpipe CO2...why do you think there is a Recirculate on our vehicle A/C units. Smelling yourself is better than smelling someone else's tailpipe.

Well those days are over, we have much better emission control:



I get it, there are more vehicles now...

But, I am not buying that EVs are that much better for the Environment argument. I have heard/seen alot of BS in my lifetime, I will let my nose decide...I am with @TonyR , EVs may have their place but not in my garage, haha, guess I am just an old fart now.

I haven't watched it yet, do you think they will end up portaying him as a nut job? I watched Homeland which was pretty good until they went woke and changed from hunting down terrorists to trying to understand and help them.

So, one thing I like about this series is any wokeness (ignorance) is squashed with Truth...I quickly turn off a series, which are most of them now, that is full of wokeness or too much pride, if you know what I mean. I think you will like it, rare I sit through a whole series. It takes place in Midland, Texas...

We cut it in half, watched 5 Episodes the first evening, then the last, last night. It has a high rating...Not trying to get off topic here but this does apply to the Thread...

Daimler Will Resume Selling Diesel Trucks in Oregon

“Acceptance of ICE orders was paused due to a misunderstanding in how zero-emission vehicles credits would be recognized in the state’s implementation of the Advanced Clean Truck rule,” the statement continued. “It has been clarified with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality that DTNA’s understanding of the implementation of ACT is correct, and we will receive credits for vehicles it reported to the state.”

Slightly changing the subject, I caught a new gem today about road funding:
"....more Oregonians are buying electric vehicles and not chipping in on the gas tax, all while Oregon’s infrastructure continues to age and deteriorate."

So first came the incentives, then the mandates, and now the blaming. The problem isn't the EVs, it's the stupid politicians who push the stupid people who voted for them to do things with unforeseen consequences that would have been obvious to everybody except liberals.

Oregon roads and bridges are old and damaged. Fixing them is an expensive task for lawmakers this year
