So You Want to Pay for Your Neighbor’s Electric Vehicle, Do You?

What’s Congress up to these days…..from the National Center for Policy Analysis:

Americans Don’t Want to Pay for Neighbor’s Electric Vehicle

To cut carbon emissions Congress has passed numerous incentives to encourage consumers to make eco-friendly decisions, such as the purchase of electric vehicles (EV). A recent survey of voter attitudes toward government subsidization of electric vehicles shows that of a sample of 1013 likely voters, U.S. taxpayers were skeptical of government decisions regarding vehicles or fuels.

• Those making $150,000 a year or more should not receive a $7,500 tax credit for purchasing an EV, responded 76 percent of those surveyed.
• 83 percent replied they did not trust the federal government to decide which kinds of cars should be subsidized or mandated.
• Electricity rate payers should not be compelled to pay for EV charging stations according to 74 percent of respondents.

Overwhelmingly, it seems U.S. taxpayers are opposed to government involvement in energy and transportation choices. Policymakers would do well to allow the electric-vehicle industry compete on its own merits rather than encouraging taxpayers through subsidies to purchase EVs.

The Climate Change Fraud Escalates

The rules of climate change  according to the university and feminist left, and the broader Democrat left  include 1) The Earth is heating up rapidly due to an increase of  the   ‘poison’  , as they call  carbon dioxide, 2)  Leftist computers tell us life on Earth as we know it will come to an end in about 30 years,  3)  It is   western males with all of their inventions over the past two centuries,  who are responsible for this impending disaster, 4) 97% of the ‘knowledgeable’ know this to be true, and 5) only Marxist rule  can save womankind and others from certain world-wide  catastrophe.

THE 97 PER CENT SOLUTION    by Ian Tuttle  at the National Review:

“Unable to address Texas senator Ted Cruz’s questions about “the Pause” — the apparent global-warming standstill, now almost 19 years long — at Tuesday’s meeting of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Sierra Club president Aaron Mair, after an uncomfortable pause of his own, appealed to authority: “Ninety-seven percent of scientists concur and agree that there is global warming and anthropogenic impact,” he stated multiple times. The relevant exchange begins at 1:39 (though the whole segment is worth watching):
