Comments for New Biden EPA rules on truck and bus emissions will only fuel inflation | Eastern North Carolina Now

I don’t care. My Prius costs less than 40 to fill and lasts triple time.
You can blame others for your problems or you can do something.

Who is responsible for high gas prices??? JOE BIDEN, of course, with his executive orders targeting American energy. Killing the Keystone pipeline, ending oil and gas production on federal land, burdensome regulations, and other measures all had their impact on driving gas prices higher. We need Trump's energy policies, including getting out of that stupid "Paris Accords" quasi-treaty, again.

Biden drained much of our Strategic Petroleum reservefor political purposes to bail out the Democrats in 2022, and even exported some of our strategic reseerves to Biden's biz partners in China. Is Biden about to top what's left to try to politically bail himself out this year?

In a true Constitutional republic, decisions like this should be made by an elected legislative body like Congress, not by unelected, politically appointed bureaucrats like EPA. The process here is undemocratic in the extreme. At the very minimum, there should be an easy process for Congress to freeze such far reaching policies until they can at least review them and approve or disapprove them.

One has to remember how Hitler built his dictatorship, by having the Reichstag vote to confer upon him the power to make laws by decree. We are seeing the same thing happen in slow motion here in the US, rather than all at once like Germany. Biden seems to be hellbent on expanding this rule by decree process. It is time to slam on the brakes on this undemocratic process and throw it into reverse if we want to preserve democracy.

If Biden stays in office, democracy is probably done in America forever.

The eco-fascists in the Biden regime are trying to ram these lousy electric vehicles down our throats, and most Americans do not want them. They are behaving like dictators. EV's are expensive to buy or repair. Their spontaneously combusting big lithium batteries make them a fire hazard. What happened to those electric buses in Paris and London also happens to electric cars. I would not have one of those stinking things parked in my garage or near my house.

Our self interest as consumers is not to buy vehicles that when the battery dies, the car is worthless. Our self interest is not to be stuck with cars that cannot be used when there is an electric grid crisis. Our self interest is not to buy a car which is going to be more expensive to insure because it often has such high repair costs that it is not even economical to try to repair it after a collision.

Electric vehicles are problematic, as Spanish drivers found out Easter weekend:

American drivers found out the same thing this past winter.

Properly conducted polls show what people think. I have not seen a recent poll favorable to electric vehicles. One of the big car rental companies just had to dump a bunch of them because their customers reject them. Big automakers are moving away from electric cars for the same reason.

This EV nonsense is a huge globalist boondoggle. The polls show that the American people do not want these contraptions. EV's are expensive and inconvenient, not to mention dangerous when they catch on fire so easily.
