Brew if I understand the crux of the problem according to you is that the simpleton proles don't know what is good for them so they need technocrats and dicktators to force them to heed the demands of the smaut central planner people.

Yeah, what works for Brew should be mandated and imposed on everyone... for the common "good" for humanity.

How you ask? With the spirt and know how that defines us as Americans.
And never mind that the Chinese are kicking our Azzes - that’s only temporary (?).
Have Americans ever give up when things got tough - no.
Did we give up when hitler bombed Pearl Harbor - NO!
We are AMERICANS and will lead the world in clean energy, technology and know how - cause it’s us, god damn it.



No better lessons come than those from failures. And we a blazing new trails here. Time to button up.

To breakdown the problem further:

There are two camps in America. Those who know we need to clean things up. Those that know we don’t.

What shows in this thread is that many honestly don’t think that EV’s are needed. And that are quick to point out the problems and sell the idea that EV’s are some evils plot to profit off of consumers.
You cannot sell these people on fixing a problem that they honestly or not believe does not exist.

The 1st camp has more parts.
People that know it is just a matter of doing it.
People that question it’s practicality.
People that know it just won’t work.

Now, the crux of the problem for the last two categories is that the technology of energy production and usage is complex. Most people do not understand it, and are unlikely to research it because - well it prolly is all just bull****, just like science.





When I was born there were 3 billion people in the world. Now there are 8 billion people in the world.
Things need to change.

Isn't that your platform, your rally cry?

Mandate things that work for you and impose them on everyone else for the "common good" of the planet, culture, way of living, and survival of our species based on your selective experience and preconceived notions.

While I appreciate sarcasm better than most, it's obvious you have no answer of substance here.
The only thing that moves more slowly than building infrastructure is the government building infrastructure.
No sarcasm from me on that point.

No need to be so altruistic. The government will do what's best for us. Because they are benevolent and efficient.

So….are there things we should all make sacrifices for or band together on for the common good?

they rationed gas fan food during WWII - “for the common good of the world”, but some disagreed with the war. Perhaps you did/would have.
did/wou
You can just say that green mandates are not something you believe in. And I would understand.

Seems in a recent video speech the Chairman of Toyota says California’s timetable is unobtainable.

Do you mean the Chairman was talking about how progress works organically in the real world and not in the imaginary world of politicians and bureaucrats? Shocking!
