Joe Biden is starting to ride back his committments on forcing the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
According to a report from The New York Times, Biden's administration is giving up on its targets for production of EVs in an apparent "concession" to automakers and labor unions.The plan is also said to be an election ploy as Democrats fear losing the support of automakers and labor unions:
Instead of essentially requiring automakers to rapidly ramp up sales of electric vehicles over the next few years, the administration would give car manufacturers more time, with a sharp increase in sales not required until after 2030, these people said.

When your goal is to fubar America, you must go full boar. Unless it's an election year, then you pull back. It's that time of year for Joey Baby - pull back time.

Use of the word "thugs" is now considered a dog whistle.
You are on the list, my friend.

To be quickly reinstated and strengthened if any Democrat wins the presidency in 2024. Don't fall for this ploy. Watch also for a temporary strengthening of border security.

But, but, ....ENVIRONMENT CRISIS, NOW!!!!
That is the drumbeat we have heard since before Biden was elected. WE ARE OUT OF TIME! But it seems it more important that Biden be reelected than SAVING THE PLANET!!!
Of course it's all baloney. There is no crisis, at least about CO2, i.e. automobiles. If CO2 doubles to about 800 PPM, the earth MIGHT heat up a little over 1 degree Fahrenheit. Over 800 PPM, even less than that. That's a hard physical science fact.
Fortunately, it is becoming more and more likely that the climate scam will be strongly discredited by 2030. It is falling apart more each day. There is more REAL science to prove it is a scam based on fraudulent "science". Plus, research is starting to tear apart the scare studies and show how they are ridiculously invalid. We may not have all the answers but we are starting to know the climate scammers "answers" are fraudulent.
Should we spend trillions of dollars to deal with a "climate emergency" that is based on stupidity and lies?
NO!
We should purge the government of the people that are pushing this insanity as part of their pursuit of raw power.

EVs don't work for most people.
Most people WILL NOT purchase an EV.
And many who did purchase an EV won't buy another.
EVs were "technology of the future" (not yet fully capable) in 1880 when they were first invented. They were still "car of the future" in the 1920s, not really capable of competing with gas cars. And about a century and a half later.....massively improved, but still NOT fully capable, "car of the future".
Perhaps in another century or two, someone may invent a small fusion power cell, but the chemical battery just is too heavy, too slow to charge, too expensive to make a decent car.
Just stop this crap.

Biden isn't "scrapping" any of his unpopular policies. He is merely tapping the brakes thru the November election. If, God forbid, he manages to finagle another four years he'll redouble his efforts to force Americans into electric vehicles.

The 'green' policies are supposed to gradually outlaw ICE vehicles. But as soon as the mandate starts to bare its teeth, they have to back off.

Hoping to fool just enough folks to vote for the Progressive agenda one more time.
Some super PAC should start running ads complaining about how Biden and the Democrats are rolling back their EV mandates with the intent to rile-up the environmental groups and expose how their original claims weren't as urgent after all.

I seriously doubt that Pedo Joe has realized anything. The truth is that his handlers are doing this because it’s an election year and their policies are not popular.

Biden is not backing down but all of the automakers, energy industry, means of transportation and infrastructure that he ordered to go electric and go green told him to go to hell. Reality wins again!

There are two classes of car and truck buyers out there now.
Those who were smart enough to buy electric in the first place.
Those who bought one and will never do it again.
This tells me that the customer base is now zero so Biden loses by default.

This is a lie. They are using insane tightening of tailpipe emissions to accomplish exactly the same goal.
They are just doing a head fake with this, and the Enemedia is assisting them.

The entire premise is a lie. Those pushing EVs know full well that most Americans have no place to charge an EV, so they will never buy one. If gas cars are no loner available, most Americans will be forced onto public transportation. THAT is the real program. Forced use of public transit. Not EVs. EVs are a ruse.

EVs (and the entire 'Green Deal') is just a head fake. The head of Toyota, the world's largest car manufacturer, said recently that EVs would never exceed 30%. They all know it's phony, but it gives Biden et al a pretext for promoting world government - which is their real goal. Don't you see that in order to save the planet, all nations have to give up their sovereignty and act in unison?

Joe does not realize how insane his policies are, he is watching the wind blow against him.
It's an election year, If her got elected he would go back to every stupid policy he now pushes on the public.

C'mon, man! There's no way in Hades that trained ape Biden could "realize" anything, let alone how stupid some liberal democrat climate policy could be, if he dug it out of his ear.

The technology has not improved, and the market has reached its saturation level. The only place to go is down. Agree Biden is only pulling back because it's an election year. The left isn't done yet. Their ultimate goal is to restrict travel. The left does not view us as citizens. They view us as peasants and serfs.

#22 is right ! The term, not name, term 'Biden' is merely a convenient 'handle' to tie onto the tail of the
current lunacy taking place.
I seriously doubt Biden, the individual, 'decides' ANYTHING, from ice cream flavor to the color of the
tie he's wearing and I am absolutely certain that he does not ponder, weigh, consider, discuss, approve,
disapprove, etc. etc. etc. ANYTHING of any significance !
In addition, you will see more and more 'movement from the left to to the center' in changes and 'decisions'
that are made as the elections draws closer.
It ALL lies being used to retain power ( the White House ) and if successful you will see EVERYTHING
that was 'changed' put right back where it was before the election.

Joe is pandering to unions. That’s all this talk is. He’d sell his own mother, or anyone’s mother, for a few votes. He’s a known pathological liar, so why would anyone believe anything that comes out of his mouth. You’re a fool if you do.
