Electric Car

The Biden administration wants people to drive electric cars. Never mind that the grid can’t even support air conditioning in the summertime in some places, we’re supposed to also power our cars via that same electrical grid.

Now, I don’t object to the idea of electric vehicles. I just don’t think they’re really ready for primetime just yet. They’re OK if you just want to scoot around town, but to replace gas or diesel vehicles? It ain’t happening.

But, Biden wants people to buy them.

He wants it so bad that Democrats created a $7,500 rebate to encourage people to get electric cars.

What the car companies did is as unshocking as it comes.
