"Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman accused President Biden of being “willing to sacrifice the American auto industry and its workers in service of its radical green agenda."

I mean we could try and transition workers from a more negative industry type to a positive one...but that seems like a lot of work and less profitable, so never mind.

Jesus, what a stupid fucking hill to die on. Republicans never cease to amaze and appall.

Are we in a "free market" or we not? The answer is "depends on what lobbyists want."

It’s too late. We’ve already hit the tipping point. Many of my neighbors have EVs now. They’re everywhere in my city and I’m not in a major city. They’re just plain better cars and now people know it. It’s too late.

Congratulations, Elon. This is who you hitched your ugly Cybertruck wagon to.

All that we want to do is see to it that we live another 100 years is that so god damn polarizing?!?!

This is why I can't be friends with conservatives of any degree. People always want to say "it's just politics," but it has gone beyond that for so fucking long that it's not even a discussion I'm willing to have anymore.

In a statement, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman accused President Biden of being “willing to sacrifice the American auto industry and its workers in service of its radical green agenda.”

If you look up the 10 most "Made in America" cars, the top 4 slots by a huge margin are Tesla Model 3,Y,S,X , which are all EVs, and they are at near 100% (or 100% for some models). There isn't another American car brand on the list. So when Coleman is talking about sacrificing American auto workers, who's he talking about? A car that is 40% American because all the parts are made in China or Mexico and there's some final assembly done in the USA?

P.S. Musk is an idiot, though I'm not sure that needs to be said anymore as its so obvious.

What’s the plan if we run out of oil? I mean seriously, it’s gonna happen eventually. Even if you want to ignore the science on climate change, you can’t ignore basic laws of the universe that oil is a finite resource. If we don’t have a plan for when it runs out, there will be utter chaos.

So there are politicans who really believe that climate change is a conspiracy? Or they just don't care for the future?

Inb4 "both parties are the same".

While I hate stuff like these rollbacks, we are already starting to see EVs save people money on gas and service, and they are stupidly fast compared to ICE counterparts. That's something Americans of all stripes can get behind.

Once I tried an ebike, I realized I never wanted to go back to gas engines. So fast, so much torque, and pennies to charge vs $70 gas tanks at Costco (even more at a normal gas station). It just makes economic sense to run PEVs in all major urban areas in addition to mass transit.

With traffic and some protected bike lanes, even a conventional bike can almost beat a car in a 7-14 mile drive in my city. An ebike makes it even easier.

Surely the oil and energy companies have their own investments into renewables. I can't imagine why Rs would die on this hill except for their little culture war.

I like it much better when Republicans stick to pushing for things that are just useless rather than destructive.

republicans are raping the planet.

The cybertruck can go, sure, but let the rest be

You misspelled Russians.

I take that back, you spelled Russians correctly.

Fuck them
