Let us attempt to put the attempt by the hippie Marxists to force everyone in the US into an electric automobile into perspective.

Assume that the rising cost of gasoline in the US is deliberate, intended to make automobiles unaffordable for the American consumer.

For now, ignore the fact that industry cannot possibly supply electric automobile replacements for the more than 286 million privately owned vehicles in the US within the next 20 years.

Also, ignore the fact that there is no national infrastructure of charging stations to allow drivers to travel more than 200 miles before enduring long recharging times.

Ignore the fact that were such a network available, the US cannot currently supply electric power to it

 

We have experience, evidence of what happens when gasoline prices are a significant portion of the family budget: Europe.

Today, gasoline in France is around $8.44 per gallon.

About $7.90 in London.

About $8.40 in Berlin.

So, (sorry, gwalch :biggrin: ) residents of those cities would find $5.00 per gallon gasoline in the US a blessing and a bargain.

 

Thus, according to the hippie Marxists, if they drive the cost of gasoline high enough, we will all abandon our SUVs and mini vans for Nissan Leafs.

If that is valid, then those European cities must be 80% electric cars, right?

Recharging stations every block?

Happy, satisfied commuters?

 

None of the above is true.

Gasoline has been very expensive in Europe, compared to the US, for a long time; more than 30 years.

The Europeans have not abandoned gasoline-powered automobiles, their freight still moves on Diesel-powered trucks and trains.

There is no huge infrastructure of charging stations.

Those that can afford to drive, do so.

Those that cannot use public transportation.

There has been no significant shift to electric or even hybrid vehicles.

 

The hippie Marxists know this, but, we know that their goal is not to get us all in electric vehicles, it is to make sure we have no vehicles at all.

 

NB the price of gasoline Tokyo is only around $5.00 per gallon.

About $2.40 in Riyadh.

Then in his 3rd year like all Presidents do because they don't have to walk on egg shells, JFK announced we will not go to War in Vietnam, he will break the CIA up in a million pieces & scatter it to the wind putting Our Nations Security back where in belongs with Army & Navy Intelligence with a central collection point like Will Bill Donovan's OSS & it was a given J. Edgar Hoover & the 7th floor of the FBI was going to be gone & put back to the Department of Investigations standards of operations with real cops investigating & the lawyers in offices to be used to file paperwork afterwards only.

BERLIN ATTACK: BBC, NPR and NBC go with the old 'car-blaming' shenanigans, and only AP notices the 29-year-old DRIVER is the guilty party.

We can pretty much guess that the guilty person 'of Armenian descent' will turn out to be an Islamist extremist. NOT an automobile.
