JOHN,
Buckle up. The Biden administration is revving up for another attempt to control what you drive.
The latest joke of a proposal has manufacturers spinning their wheels—scrambling to give our vehicles a few more miles to the gallon. Sounds great in theory, right? They even sent good ol’ Pete Buttigieg out there to fib that this fuel-efficient dream world will help you save money at the pump.
Nice try, Pete, but Americans can see through it: This is just another unneeded assault on gas-powered vehicles.
There are a dozen reasons why this is all a bunch of phony bologna, but here’s a snapshot:
- The average American can’t fork out $65,000 for an electric vehicle (EV).
- Folks that can afford an EV don’t want to sit around waiting hours for a charge or gamble on finding a charging station somewhere down the road.
- Our electric grid simply can’t handle everybody racing home to plug in at five o’clock each evening.
Need more proof that Americans aren’t buying into this? Here’s a basic lesson in supply and demand: The number of EVs sitting idly on lots across the U.S. has swelled nearly 350% this year. I may not be a math teacher, but that seems like a pretty bold statement consumers are making with their wallets.
>> Leftists peddle a fully electric world where they rule with a green iron fist, but it isn’t going to happen on my watch. Pitch in $25 to ride shotgun with me.
This isn’t about saving the planet—and it sure as heck isn’t about saving us money. It’s about woke Washington bureaucrats who need to virtue signal until they’re blue in the face.
President Biden can have a collection of gas guzzling vintage cars, but heaven forbid you choose a car off the lot without his “climate saving” stamp of approval.
I’m keeping my hands on the wheel and eyes on the road when it comes to this nonsense. Let’s ratchet up our drilling so Americans can enjoy the energy we’ve got right at our fingertips and stop sending money to our enemies. I’ll continue to push for energy independence because THAT is the best way to reduce sticker shock at the fuel pump.
Sincerely,
Tim Burchett
