Mr. Biden blasted MAGA Republicans for opposing his Green Energy Agenda, but there’s a problem; a new survey shows Americans really don’t want to be a part of his green agenda.
Biden was in Pueblo, Colorado, on a campaign swing, accusing Republicans of being in favor of tax breaks for the rich. He called out Republicans for daring to oppose investments in green energy programs. But Joe never mentioned how heavily subsidized his green Green Agenda is and how his rich supporters are benefiting from the Green New Deal. No mention of the 600K birds killed by those windmill blades every year. He didn’t say anything about Consumer Reports recently releasing the annual survey of Auto Reliability.
Every year, they ask Americans for their thoughts on which cars and pickup trucks are the most reliable and least reliable and why. At the top of the list of most reliable vehicles were gas and diesel-powered cars. Next were hybrid vehicles, or those with a mix of gas engines and battery-powered electric motors. In dead last are Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrids. They are, according to your fellow Americans, real stinkers.
Car owners of Electric Vehicles had 79% more problems than gas-powered vehicles. Especially bad were Electric pickup trucks and hybrid plug-ins, which had 146% more problems than gas-powered cars. That probably helps explain why companies like Ford and GM are now canceling or downsizing their plans to embrace EVs, especially those pickup trucks.
A separate report from Autolist showed that 39% of Americans found electric pickup vehicles to be unappealing. That’s up from 33% last year. The CEO of Consumer Reports said this: “What matters most to consumers remains the same [as always]: finding safe, reliable cars.” That apparently does not include Electric Vehicles.
God Bless capitalism. The market is speaking loud and clear. We all think these EVs are trash. Car companies are listening. The Detroit News reported that GM is now considering a dramatic move to reverse their commitment to EVs and instead build hybrid cars, too.
They are doing this because those are the vehicles that you want. Not the ones that Biden or his fellow Leftists want you to want. This is a really great story. It’s a new version of the wonderful old tale of politicians trying to tell you what to do and you telling them “where to stuff it.”
