Will you burn coal, or oil, or natural gas?              Can't make more hydro-electric, and the solar and wind take up space and       take time and cost a lot to produce and install and need a lot of       maintenance and when you have a cold day all the cars will be charging       at the same time and be linked to the grid.....              The sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing.... same       for that HOT day. Where do you get that electricity to supply the       sudden need for electricity while you're at work charging your car?              Do you stay home and lose money? And if you do then isn't that a cost       you add to the price of the SOLAR/WIND electricity and electric cars?              And if you can't earn money how do you pay that car payment on the       electric car? And if you have a gas powered car for snow and ice and       heat, that costs you extra for insurance and maintenance and where do       you park TWO extra gasoline powered cars to use a few months a year?              >> they may be popular for short trips.....The Marxist impulse in the       >> Democrats has them trying to make those golf carts every thing to       >> everyone as Communism tries to force "the one size fits all" on all       >> people.       >       > Nobody's forcing anyone as you suggest.

And Joe Biden welcomed 2 million more illegals into the NATION,       not to mention the other ones that are actually legal and then there's       the NORMAL population growth and more electric cars.... it seems that       Democrat have us on a path to energy shortages.                                          >       > Face it - the BS of the past was BS in the past and it is stinkier now       > more than ever.       >       >                     --       That's karma                     Censorship is a systemic form of violence, using force to silence those       you hate.              Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help       force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.              Censorship becomes a systemic hate crime and a form of SLAVERY when it's       illegally forced on American citizens.
