auto industry is nominally still privately owned, but it is slowly becoming a de facto state-directed utility. That’s the meaning of the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed new vehicle-emissions standards Wednesday that will force-feed the production of electric vehicles, whether or not consumers want them.
opinion I think GM and Ford should close their doors and just make legacy parts, the eco policies out of Washington make it impossible to make a practical vehicle. We will all have to go on welfare because we can't get to work or it costs to much just to go to work.
opinion Where’s the infrastructure for being able to charge these cars? It is not readily available especially for those who live in multi unit housing. BidensAmerica
opinion Two things: 1. electric vehicles are significantly more fun to drive and superior to ICE vehicles on every dimension 2. sometimes 'what the consumer wants' is a secondary condition
opinion All it does is further guarantee a Trump victory in 2024. What the EPA passes now can (and will) be reversed once Trump, the duly elected POTUS now, is back in the office.
opinion = Biden Administration:
opinion Do not comply.
opinion Good points.
opinion Scrap the clown and regulations in 2024.
opinion Lol. What do we want? MORE BIG OIL! When do we want it? NOW!
opinion Everybody's waiting for their old to wear out at least those that can afford it. Tesla cutting prices.
opinion insanity
opinion The EV transformation is a big huge pipe dream.
opinion Not a done deal, litigation certain. Politics motivated by GWCC not public health even if PH comes as collateral benefit. It goes to 45’s SC like CPP. Huge economic realities for $Trillions Grid transition needing non existent bipartisanship. For sure chaos could give GOP47 2024.
opinion The Beast needs to be electric, NOW. Walk the walk first. Show us it can be done.
opinion Pay for my car then
opinion This is like forced labour.
opinion The infrastructure better catch up or it will end up being a complete cluster
opinion What is actually intended to do is make the cost to high for middle and lower income families to own a car.
opinion They’re tilting at windmills, forcing a technology on us that’s not well planned, thought out, or even practical in a short span. And it’s ultimately about control. Digital $ system can’t only cut off your access to money. It’ll be everything, healthcare, transportation, food?
opinion Why can’t they apply the same zeal to getting the black community safe drinking water ? Seems even more important?
opinion If only there were an infrastructure to support all of these electric vehicles. Our country has power outages constantly, sometimes lasting for days, but one thing that I’ve never had to worry about is driving away in my gas powered suv from the problem areas.
opinion Wall Street Junkmail shilling for big oil again.
opinion Like seat belts, leaded gas, air bags, rear cameras etc.
opinion What I wan is more vehicles for 2030
opinion The heavy hand of government
opinion Why don't all govt agencies convert to electric first? That might create the infrastructure for more electric cars? But that might cut into public salaries...
opinion Apparently first making sure you have a stable power grid to handle the additional demand never occurred to the Biden administration....
opinion Like everything government decides
opinion But this isn't fascism apparently.
opinion Except 53% of Americans want them
opinion Correct.
opinion Does he know which end the exhaust comes out of?
opinion EVs are not viable for northern states in the winter , the fact the people running the government cant even grasp that concept is frightening.
opinion I'd buy a Maverick &/or a Bolt EUV tomorrow if I could get 1 or under MSRP...
opinion Called progress
opinion Well first it won’t pass in the courts as it wasn’t mandated by congress.
opinion The EV push feels like Betamax all over again but on steroids. The demand for the last generation of gas powered vehicles will be through the roof, which means the poor and marginalized will not be able to afford them and suffer the most.
opinion Always a good idea!
opinion Thieves will line up to strip out all the copper chargers & batteries.
opinion Ok. And?
opinion Because he's not crashing the economy fast enough.
opinion Seems vulnerable to challenge based on the “major questions” doctrine.
opinion Wow wsj clearly in the pocket of big oil, the market shows they are wanted so 💁🏼 maybe let’s not burn down the planet so Karen can have a gas guzzler
opinion Potential risk of trade-in value of gas vehicle’s diminishing due to the inability to resell. Will things like this be addressed? Or are we going to be like Cuba and drive 70 year old cars?
opinion Oh...consumers want them! The ones that don't, don't understand what they really are, yet. The only question is how fast the manufacturers can spool up. This helps them count on a market to build into.
opinion Ok. Buy my car then
opinion The autocratic bureaucratic state strikes again.
opinion Unconstitutional.
opinion This should work about as well as the ban on incandescent light bulbs.
opinion Ford and GM are already greatly expanding their electric vehicle programs, so the choice will eventually be limited without this regulation.
opinion Glad Biden is doing this.
opinion Oh well... we're ending fossil fuels anyway.
