Are Electric Cars the Future of Transportation or a Government Power Grab?
The federal US government is pushing for 60% of all new car production to be electric by 2030, but is this sustainable for US infrastructure, the private sector, and the average American consumer? Thirteen Republican-led states think not, and they are taking the federal government to court over this mandate.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) are being challenged by 13 attorneys general for violating standing laws with their push for electric auto manufacturing. They argue that these agencies do not have the authority to issue fuel regulations that boost the fuel efficiency of electric automobiles by 6.67 times.
This lawsuit also argues that the government is overestimating the efficiency of electric autos by at least 6 times, hurting car owners, manufacturers, liquid-fuel producers, and the electric grid. The push for electric vehicles is seen as a move towards government control in line with Agenda 2030 from the World Economic Forum, rather than a genuine effort to protect the environment.
The infrastructure for electric vehicles is lacking, with only seven charging stations opened despite billions of dollars being funneled into creating a national network. Auto manufacturers are pushing back against the initiative, and the average consumer may struggle to afford the switch to electric vehicles. If the government’s mandate goes unchallenged, driving could become a luxury out of reach for many Americans.
