Emissions mandates aim to cut vehicles and force 15-minute cities

Once you realize that one of the Biden (Obama) administration’s long term goals is a massive reduction in personally owned vehicles, in alignment with the WEF / globalist goals, then these new insanely strict vehicle emissions mandates make perfect sense.

EVs will cost more, the electric grid is already overloaded and getting increasingly strained.

Adding more EVs (and an exponential increase in power hungry AI data centers) to the grid will eventually force the long term plan of 15 minute cities.

In order to combat the ever-hyped Climate Change boogeyman, of course.

Enjoy eating zee bugs and walking around in your designated 15 minute city.

==========================

“President Biden’s leftist climate policies are cancerous to both the automotive industry and the economy.

His administration’s excessive regulations, fueled by climate ideology, will gradually, then suddenly, kill affordable cars and damage the American car industry.

By making new cars dramatically more expensive, used car prices will rise too, harming low-income Americans the most.

… To start, the Department of Transportation under Biden has already proposed stringent CAFE standards, requiring vehicles to achieve an average of 49 miles per gallon (mpg) by mid-2025 and 58 mpg by 2032.

This move is an industry and affordability killer.

… Like cancer, Biden’s regulations are killing the host: American car manufacturers.

Biden has not only given China the green light to set EV prices, but a forced increase in EV sales means fewer gas cars will be available to subsidize EV makers, resulting in higher EV prices.

Moreover, the additional regulatory and transfer costs required for gas cars to comply with these unrealistic regulations will either hike their prices or result in heavy fines, further driving up costs.

If we do not intervene, the American car industry will die, along with the ability of low-income Americans to afford cars.

● … Make no mistake, the Bidenomics endless climate driven regulations are making our energy, transportation, housing and food more expensive.

Even if Biden’s climate change theory holds true, which many qualified individuals doubt, we have plenty of decades to address it.

● Energy makes people’s lives better.

● The lack of affordable, abundant, reliable energy and transportation makes people’s lives worse.”

    precisely.

    a couple places in the U.S. are trying an experiment of "pay per mile" for driving vehicle, whether gasoline powered or EV.

    A tracking device is attached to the cars, and annual mileage driven will be taxed.

    An added bonus feature is the constant geo-location tracking of each vehicle.
