The Left Needs to Stop Banning Products and Censoring Honest Criticism | RealClearEnergy
The Biden administration wants to take away two-thirds of the cars currently on the road in favor of electric vehicles. That electric vehicle mandate has run headlong into scorching public and political pressure, and may be wilting before our eyes in an election year concession. But, at this crucial moment, the administration s dark-money allies are trying a stick-save, demanding that television networks in swing states censor advertisements critical of the mandate.
It s bad enough to want to want to ban the majority of the cars that everyday people use, but it is a whole new level of tone deafness to then try and shut down voices that rightly criticize this type of elitist maneuver.
The regulation in question is designed to expedite the retirement of traditional, gas-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles. By the Biden administration s own analysis, the likely path to compliance features nearly 70% of the passenger car market shifting to battery electric vehicles in just a few years, despite less than 2% of the current cars on the road being battery electric.
This is part of a broader campaign by the Biden Administration to meet various green promises to the Left by banning countless household appliances, wiping away most of the dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and other appliances that consumers currently find on store shelves.
Throw it away. Just throw it away. Let peace rain down on your head. Think of the desert. Breathe.
