Re: Car is just a fad

Guess you forget all of those day one EOs that are designed to end the use of fossil fuels. Just get the government out of the way and let the markets function.

Re: " A quality product will sell itself" ?

Then why does the petroleum industry need all those tax write-offs?  Get rid of the  15% Depletion Allowance and the 100% Research Tax write-off and half a dozen similar tax breaks.  Let petroleum and the IC engine stand on their own.

It's just a cost of doing business like fertilizer and seed corn are for us. If you want to end a subsidy end the $7500 tax credit for electric vehicles. Let the market decide.

Re: Car is just a fad

(Who is declaring or enforcing any “mandates” on the energizing of vehicles anywhere?)

Mmm, mandate electric vehicle, a simple web-search produced almost 15 million results.

Hope that helps you there bruceQ, now you can do what you love to do.

Re: Car is just a fad


Who is mandating that you or Turdy ever be required to own or operating one. 

You prove multiple ties daily that you live in your own contextual universe. 

On the planet of Justknowitus in the Commonknowledge galaxy. 

What an insufferable boor. 

Re: Car is just a fad

Show us one if you would.

You forever brings up reminders of the old thumper moral warning to their teenage daughters .  The one where they advised that they not have sex (with their brothers, uncles and cousins)  up as it might lead to dancing.

Re: Car is just a fad

Well Bruce when any state mandates the end of sales of any nonelectric vehicle your choices become limited. When the government cancels projects like the keystone pipeline they are interfering in the markets to shift the citizens to electric vehicles.  Now quit acting stupid. Shut off your sargent Schultz mode. Are you for mandates or are you against mandates? The people you support support mandates.

Can one assume that you were the brother that required your sister's dad the necessity to have to warn his daughter?

Re: "Cancel projects like the Keystone pipeline...",

... Tax oil income or treat oil industry tax provisions like any other ordinary business and I will guarantee you gasoline & diesel vehicles won't be able to compete with EVs even without EV subsidies. They won't need to cancel any pipelines,  nobody will want the stuff.

Re: Car is just a fad

I definitely support laws an if violated prefer that they are enforced.

You’re a broken record of a disk that was horrible when it was pressed.a

Hell of a stretch there on the pipeline to electric vehicle mandate but it does stand here as a monument to your level of honesty and debating ability.
