It's cynical, dishonest, manipulative, and completely unproductive.
Based on that alone I completely believe that Nancy Pelosi did the math and realized that Democrats could argue for this out loud maybe even vote for it but there's no chance that it'll ever happen so it's a great chance for her to actually do politics with the voters which I thought she had considered beneath her.
Once again, this time everybody join in, "electric cars aren't here to save the planet they're here to save the car industry."
Electric vehicles don't really solve any of the problems that cars have. They just shift the resource and environmental problems into a different arena.
It seems to me that the most effective way of dealing with personal vehicles is to use renewable power to produce gasoline (Blue crude).
That way your gasoline is carbon neutral or even carbon negative until you burn it, can actually be kept sterile and separate and only mixed on demand so it doesn't go bad, and never has any sulfur in it because it's made from scratch.
It also means that all of the vehicles that currently exist can still be used which would dramatically reduce the amount of energy necessary to keep a functional fleet of vehicles and doesn't need everything to be replaced including the infrastructure.
Peaker plants could be built to soak up all of the extra renewable power when production is so much higher than demand so there's no need to worry about where you get the power to do this.
There are solutions out here but they require a kind of rearrangement of how we do business at almost every level.
