LARRY: LIKE IT ARE R OR NOT YOU
WILL BE DRIVING AN ELECTRIC CAR
OVER THE YEARS.
EPA, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY WILL TELL YOU TO DRIVE AN
ELECTRIC CAR.
NOW WHAT IS THEIR AUTHORITY TO
TELL YOU?
WELL IN THE BIDEN YEARS, MODERN
SOCIALISM THROUGH THE REGULATORY
STATE.
IN OTHER WORDS, CENTRAL
PLANNING.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN. JUST LIKE THE OLD SOVIETS OR
JUST LIKE THE OLD SOVIETS OR
CURRENT CHINESE.
DOES THE EPA HAVE THE
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO TELL
AMERICANS WHAT THEY SHOULD
DRIVE?
I DON’T KNOW.
MY SUSPICION, COURT DECISION,
EPA VERSUS THE WEST VIRGINIA,
TRANSLATES INTO ANY DECISION
HAVING VAST ECONOMIC AND
POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE, WELL
THAT SHOULD APPLY IN ORDER TO
RESTRAIN THE EPA BUT WE’RE GOING
TO ASK CONGRESSMAN BYRON DONALDS
IN JUST A MOMENT.
HE IS MEMBER OF THE HOUSE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WHETHER THE
EPA HAS THIS POWER OR NOT.
ACCORDING TO REPORTS THE EPA
TOMORROW WILL UNVEIL ITS NEW
REGULATORY MANDATE THAT WOULD
REQUIRE OVER HALF OF NEW CARS
SOLD IN THE U.S. TO BE ELECTRIC
BY 2030.
THAT IS SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW.
AND, AS MANY AS 2/3 BY 2032
WHICH IS JUST NINE YEARS FROM
NOW.
TODAY, TO GIVE YOU SOME SENSE OF
IT, ABOUT% 7% OF NEW CAR SALES
ARE ELECTRIC.
A LONG STONE FROM 7% TO 2/3,
NEVER DOUBT THE HAVOC CAUSED BY
OUR EPA.
MORE NUMBERS?
WELL LISTEN, ABOUT 80,000
ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND PLUG-IN
HYBRIDS WERE SOLD LAST JANUARY.
THAT SAME MONTH, 950,000 ICEs,
MEANING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES, ROUGHLY ANOTHER THREE
ENGINES, ROUGHLY ANOTHER THREE
MILLION USED GAS POWERED CARS.
4 MILLION BUY GAS, 80,000 BY
BATTERY.
MOST OF WHICH CAME FROM CHINA.
YOU THINK THE PRIVATE CAR
COMPANIES, FORD, GM, HONDA,
TESLA, ALL REST OF THEM DO YOU
THINK THEY WILL BE CAPABLE OF
MEETING SUCH STRINGENT
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
STANDARDS, REPRESENTING A 100
YEAR CHANGE TO THE U.S.
INDUSTRIAL BASE, THAT ACCORDING
TO A LEADING TRADE GROUP?
YOU THINK SO?
I DON’T KNOW.
HERE IS A PROBLEM THE CARMAKERS
MIGHT ENCOUNTER THEIR CUSTOMERS
DON’T REALLY WANT EVs.
LATEST POLL FROM THE UNIVERSITY
OF CHICAGO, ONLY 8% OF AMERICAN
ADULTS HAVE AN EV RIGHT NOW AND
JUST 19% SAY IT IS VERY, OR
EXTREMELY LIKELY THEY WOULD
PURCHASE ONE.
MEANWHILE NEARLY HALF SAY IT IS
NOT LIKELY THEY WILL GO
ELECTRIC.
SIX IN 10 SAY THE COST IS TOO
HIGH.
ON AVERAGE NEW ELECTRIC VEHICLES
COST ABOUT $58,000.
TODAY’S AVERAGE GAS-POWERED CAR?
LESS THAN $46,000, ACCORDING TO
A REPORT IN THE "NEW YORK SUN."
BY THE WAY, NEW TESHRY
DEPARTMENT RULES WON’T GIVE
EVERYONE A 7500-DOLLAR FEDERAL
TAX CREDIT.
AND THE U.S. DOESN’T HAVE NEAR
ENOUGH MINERALS TO GO INTO EV
BATTERIES, THAT IS UNLESS WE
WANT THE EPA ACTION TO BE THE
CHINA BAILOUT ACT, WHICH WE’VE
KIND OF ALREADY BEEN DOING
ALREADY, HAVEN’T WE?
ANYWAY OF COURSE THE BIDEN’S FAR
LEFT EXTREMIST CLIMATE POLICIES
KEPT U.S. OIL PRODUCTION WELL
BELOW PRE-COVID LEVELS.
THEREBY, KEEPING PRICES WAY
HIGH, HELPING THE RUSSIANS IN
UKRAINE, GIVING ENERGY DOMINANCE
BACK TO THE SAUDIS AND OPEC
PLUS.
MEANWHILE, IN MR. BIDEN’S FIRST
TWO YEARS, FROM FEBRUARY 2021
THROUGH FEBRUARY 2023 ENERGY
PRICES ARE UP 32%, GAS PRICES
ARE UP 35%, GROCERY PRICES UP
20%.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH
THE EPA AND RADICAL CLIMATE
CHANGE IN GENERAL IS?
THEY ARE TAKING AWAY OUR FREE
CHOICE.
SO, IF YOU’RE FED UP WITH A
BUNCH OF LEFT-WING CENTRAL
PLANNERS, JAMMING STUFF DOWN
YOUR THROAT, VOTE NO.
IF YOU LIKE WHAT THEY’RE DOING,
GO OUT TO BUY AN EV.
AT LEAST BUY A TESLA, AT LEAST
