A lot is at stake this November, but few things as dire as the need to Save Our Cars.
Daily Caller (6/18/24) article: "Automobile consumers who treasure the open roads during the summertime could upend the presidential campaign and U.S. Senate races in surprising places if public opposition to electric-vehicle mandates and other regulations continues to rise. That is what some recent polls suggest and it certainly helps to explain why the Biden administration is poised to artificially reduce fuel prices by selling one million barrels of gasoline from an energy reserve in New England timed with the summer driving season and in anticipation of the November elections...Enter the “Save Our Cars Coalition,” which includes 31 national and state organizations devoted to preserving the ability of consumers to select the vehicles most suitable to their needs. Tom Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research, a coalition member that favors free market energy policies, views cars as an integral component of American life. The Biden-Newsom regulations amount to what Pyle describes as 'an assault on American freedom.' 'In a nation as expansive as the United States, cars are not merely vehicles, they are integral to the American way of life,' Pyle says. 'They play a pivotal role in our daily lives, especially in suburban and rural settings. This modern-day prohibition would outlaw a product and a value–in this case, gasoline-powered cars and trucks that have created personal mobility on an unprecedented scale – that it cannot persuade people to forego themselves.' The coalition is perfectly positioned to make EV mandates a campaign issue in areas where the affordability of cars capable of traversing long distances without frequent stops is very much on the minds of voters. State officials who continue to double-down on California-type regulations will only serve to bolster the coalition’s arguments."

"Elites can no longer feign ignorance of the problem; it’s now obvious. America faces energy scarcity, and the poor will be particularly hard-hit. Yet where is the concern on the part of these supposed humanitarians, who warn every day of the suffering that climate change will bring?"
– Mario Loyola, National Review
