Biden EPA’s Electric Truck Mandate Is ‘Truly Insane’ – Cost of electric 18 wheeler is ‘two to three times’ price of diesel rig – ‘Conversion would never take place unless forced by government mandate’
https://dailycaller.com/2024/04/03/david-blackmon-biden-epas-electric-truck-mandate-is-truly-insane/ By DAVID BLACKMON In their continuing quest to electrify the U.S. automotive fleet against the clear will of the American people, the zealots in the Biden administration rolled out their new requirements related to heavy trucks on Good Friday. Amazingly, they did it in a way that will make the mandates even more expensive […]

Eight states plan to ban gas-powered cars by 2032: Morano: ‘This is a controlled demolition of the American auto industry, & our freedom of movement’
Marc Morano of the Climate Depot says this is similar to a past totalitarian state. “Back in East Germany…they made it where people could only drive one kind of car…the United States government through the EPA and these states…are bypassing democracy to replicate what they did in East Germany,” he says. “There was no vote in Congress…this is a controlled demolition of the American auto industry, and our freedom of movement,” he says. “They have about the same carbon footprint, or higher…they limit your freedom of movement…and they require a federal charging grid, which is opposite of the gas grid…which was de-centralized,” he says. “A centralized grid will bring the ability of the government to shut down charging stations nationwide the next time we have shutdowns over some real or imagined crisis.
Toyota Executive casts shade on Biden’s ‘EV transition’: EVs are ‘only 8%’ of U.S. cars sold. ‘A majority of the people buying EVs right now are buying it as an extra vehicle in their [personal] fleet’
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-ev-transition-likely-to-take-longer-than-the-biden-administration-would-like-toyota-exec-131514263.html By Pras Subramanian Given the state of the electric vehicle transition in the US, EV skeptic Toyota may be having the last laugh. In 2021 and 2022, most large automakers were trying to transition as fast as they could to an electric vehicle future. Toyota (TM), one of the behemoths of the industry, dragged […]

A Stolen Tesla Reportedly Ran Out of Battery During a Car Chase – Police knew it only 15 miles of range left so they waited for EV to stop then arrested thief
https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a60342971/stolen-tesla-ran-out-of-battery-during-a-car-chase/ BY FRED SMITH Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to lead police on a chase through Los Angeles in a stolen car. This is doubly true in a modern EV, which is very likely to have extensive tracking measures and other protection against thefts. A stolen EV also comes with another risk: It […]

Nobody Told EV Owners How Quickly They Burn Through Tires
Not only do EVs wear through their rubber and roads quicker because of their relatively extreme heft, but the instant power they put down also accelerates the process.
2023 Pew poll: 63% of U.S. adults say they are not likely or ‘do not plan’ to purchase an EV
Via Pew: “Half of U.S. adults say they are not too or not at all likely to consider purchasing an EV, while another 13% say they do not plan to purchase a vehicle.”
A Gallup poll in 2023 showed similar results, with only about 12 percent saying they are considering buying one, 43 percent saying they might consider it and 41 percent saying unequivocally they would not buy an electric vehicle. Gallup poll – APRIL 12, 2023:
Watch: Morano on Fox & Friends: ‘We are enforcing ‘magical beliefs’ through the bureaucracy’ – Solar, wind & EV mandates ‘designed to create chaos…so that we have to accept authoritarian control of society’
Marc Morano on FNC’s ‘Fox and Friends’ – Fox News Channel – Broadcast March 23, 2024
Morano: Historian Saul Friedländer, from UCLA, wrote that totalitarian regimes of the 20th century used ‘bureaucratic measures to enforce magical beliefs.’ And that is exactly America 2024. We are enforcing ‘magical beliefs’ through the bureaucracy — whether it’s on solar, wind, and, of course, this latest EV mandate. This is akin to ‘magical beliefs’ — it’s probably easier to transition your energy than it is your gender. That’s an example of some of the ‘magical beliefs’ that they’re trying to do.
Rachel Campos-Duffy: How is this tied to the Great Reset?
Marc Morano: This is all tied to it — this is designed to create chaos. First of all, to collapse or rationing of energy, rationing of food and rationing of transportation, freedom of movement. All of this is part of the Great Reset. You will go nowhere and be happy. That’s what this is ultimately, it is especially with the EV mandates, especially with the energy. And they’re coming after agriculture now. John Kerry has now said that U.S. agriculture is in his sights for net zero compliance. Bill Gates is America’s largest single farmland owner. Guess what happened last year? Lab-grown meat was approved for human consumption for the first time in the US. So, if it’s not lab-grown meat, it will be insects. They’re just making everything chaotic so that we have to accept more totalitarian control and authoritarian control of society.
Rachel Campos-Duffy: Yeah. If they can control food, energy, and your currency, they can control you. You’ve done such a good job of researching this and connecting the dots to the from Great Reset, and I really appreciate that, Marc Morano. Always great having you on the show.
Marc Morano: Thank you, Rachel.
