Older people and those with limited mobility would effectively become house-bound by the mass transit and bicycle system of transportation. I can't help but think these schemes are concocted by city-dwellers who don't realize how sparsely populated and sprawling some areas are. I live in a neighborhood where the nearest grocery store is 5 miles away and only about 2 percent of the metropolitan area has mass transit service. Banning private vehicles would be tantamount to the lockdown of an entire mid-sized metropolitan area.

Spot on. The push toward EV’s is senseless and can only mean one thing. They want to take our vehicles away and put us on mass transit. Hell will freeze over before this happens.

Remember the mill villages of the 1800's. People lived in cramped homes owned by the mill company. They bought only from the company store. They had no need for personal transportation. Or any transportation. Look at China today. All those factories for the big American companies. The workers live in dormitory conditions. Not dormitories like the fancy suites in U.S. colleges today. Nor like the dormitories of the 1960's. But even less than that. No electricity in the rooms after about 8PM. Only a few lights in the hall on the way to the dormitory bathroom. It is worse than the mill village of the 1800's. But that is the way they envision for us to live. We will have no need for personal transportation or any transportation at all. Walk to work which is at most a mile away. Never get any further from the village than you can walk. And where would you even walk to? Nothing exists except another village. Perhaps they will offer a bow and arrow contest for whoever wins to have a slightly better life.

Here’s the thing... I’m not taking a bus after my trip to Costco. Not happening. I’d also like to hear them defend the electric battery for those of us who live in North Dakota. It can be -60 degrees here in the winter. Everyone I know with an electric car, has two cars. A winter one and a summer one. So until children and slaves aren’t digging up the resources needed.... I’m good with my Sequoia.

A few years from now when all trades are busy charging their electric vehicles and can’t show up for the job with a box truck and 2 cargo vans full of workers and have to resort to taking 135 bus trips on electric busses then renting an electric uber to get to their final destination..... that broken pipe flooding your house in 19 degree weather will wake them up overnight to the stupidity of trusting policies set forth by the entitled.

Roofing in the Northwest is 18months out. Good luck.

To quote Einstein - “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”

Those who believe that they can control the ‘climate’ are really stupid. God made the climate, which has changed since the beginning of creation. They will do well to read Psalm 33, among many other verses.

There is no need to have our lives turned upside down by fearful unbelievers. If they don’t believe, they must be descended from monkeys, hence their stupidity.

The vaxxed, masked up public at large is way to dumb to understand this.

Instead of getting rid of personal vehicles, we need to get rid of the people pushing this agenda.
