Perhaps without intending to, a recent article in the UK Daily Mail reported on a list of states that Real™ Americans need to either take back now or make plans to exit soon!
That’s how the Daily Mail framed it, but perhaps it should have.
According to personal finance site Money, California was the first state to adopt the Advanced Clean Cars II rule, which will put a complete ban to new sales of gas-powered cars by 2035.
Plans in the state, which is run by governor Gavin Newsom, specify that 35 percent of all new car sales will need to be zero-emission by 2026, rising to 68 percent by 2030.
Rhode Island was the most recent state to join the list of states pledging to ban the sale of gas-powered cars, joining Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington.
Where’s Vermont? Those tin-foil-hat descendants of weed-smoking climate-hippies signed up for left-coast Emissions goals. They are so committed that mobs of actual constituents can suppose their plans, and the legislature ignores them. And they are serious. The only thing capable of knocking them off the climate altar is elections. Voters need to find some sanity at the ballot box and get a majority of sensible people to say, “Jan! Stop this crazy thing.”
If that’s an option, you might want to think about selling the family farm and moving to the right and into the yellow and red parts of the ideological electromagnetic spectrum. Related: VermVermont’sb (and Unconstitutional) Bill to Fine Big Oil for “EmisSions”
Yes, you will be able to keep your combustion engine vehicle for now. Previously enjoyed fuel-powered vehicles will not be banned. But no new ones and used ones will be impossibly expensive (given how much they cost now) and difficult to acquire—another privilege reserved for wealthy “colLectors.” And you can bet they will be coming for those, too, all despite an industry-wide admission that EVs are unreliable and customers don’t like them (two years in a row).
The survey reveals that, on average, EVs from the past three model years had 79 percent more problems than conventional cars. Based on owner responses on more than 330,000 vehicles, the survey covers 20 potential problem areas, including engine, transmission, electric motors, leaks, and infotainment systems.
I’d like to think that consumer demand will prevail, but the Climate Cult doesn’t take no for an answer. Biden’s federal mandate targets are set to 2032, with these states saying they will go battery vehicles or bust by 2035. If voters can’t find a way around the vote fraud or – as in many of these mostly rural states, states convince urban area voters Democrat politicians are bad for their lifestyle too – you are going to have to vote with your feet.
I did that in 1990 when I left western New York for New Hampshire. It was cigarette and beer taxes back then and look at New York State now. And while I love New Hampshire, if Democrats get even one session with a majority legislature and Democrat governor, they will immediately undo every good thing we’ve struggled for years to attain.
One session. All of it. Goodbye.
Republicans seem incapable of this kind of immediate action, and to many refuse to lean from the left. Democrats don’t run on raising taxes and ruining the economy. They run on reducing taxes, even though there is no example that they have ever done it, nor is their agenda capable of anything but tax hikes. They run on women’s health care when they could care less about the health and safety of women. Public safety? It is a bad joke, but everyone keeps laughing when they are the DemoDemocrat’schline.
We need a ballot box revolution. Numbers that are so huge they can’t be erased by “irregularities.” But you can’t just vote Dems out of office. You have to keep them out and then do what they do. Do what Florida did. Remove barriers to freedom and individual liberty and support the candidates who do that.
Or, do nothing, and before long, we won’t even be able to afford a car or truck to escape the blue-state hells we are trapped in, assuming they’d let us leave.
