The Great Car Reset has arrived: Our transportation system is being intentionally collapsed; (and our freedom of movement is being stripped away) EVs to be forced upon YOU without a vote!
Marc Morano: “This is the planned rationing of vehicles. The planned rationing of American cars. That’s the only way this plan makes sense … the only result is going to be shortages of cars and a completely altered used car market. You can look to Cuba to find out what it’s like to have a raging used car market because that’s what we’re looking at here. And you can look to old East Germany. East Germany had their famed Trabant car, where people would have to get on waiting lists for years to get one and that’s what we’re faced with here when the government is going to mandate you can only buy a new electric car. … An Australian bank is announcing it’s not going to give financing for loans to anyone buying a gas-powered car. The World Bank has now announced it wants to set a timetable to stop the funding for — even at the automaker level for gas-powered cars. The powers that be, the corporate world, the bankers, the governments, academia — they’ve decided that gas-powered cars are over and they’re putting all the forces into play to end it without our say in it.
And if you somehow avoid the gas car bans, they will make obtaining gas for it a nightmare!

(CNN) — The US Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to release strict new proposed federal emissions standards for light-duty vehicles that, if implemented, would move the US car market decisively toward electric vehicles over the next decade.
The EPA is considering emissions standards that could make up to two-thirds of new passenger vehicles sold in the US electric by 2032, according to a source familiar with the proposal.
If implemented, the new greenhouse gas performance standards would start for light-duty vehicles that are model year 2027 and gradually increase through model year 2032.
By 2032, the rules would ensure that 64% to 67% of all new-car sales in the US would be electric vehicles, according to the source.
The EPA’s proposal, which was first reported by The New York Times, comes after California air regulators voted last year to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035 and set interim targets to phase these cars out.
EPA spokesperson Tim Carroll did not comment on the specifics of the proposal but said the agency is working on developing new standards “to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions transportation future, protecting people and the planet,” as directed by a previous executive order from President Joe Biden.
“Once the interagency review process is completed, the proposals will be signed, published in the Federal Register, and made available for public review and comment,” Carroll said.
The new rules could come as soon as Wednesday.
The EPA proposal is a monumental step toward zero-emissions vehicles, coming as the US tries to keep up with other countries racing toward EV adoption, one expert told CNN.
“I believe it’s pretty doable,” said Margo Oge, chair of the International Council on Clean Transportation and a former Obama EPA official. “The industry is there. Europe is ahead of the US, China is ahead of Europe, and these companies are global companies.”
Oge noted that in the US, California is already proposing 70% new zero-emissions vehicle sales by 2030 and other states are planning to adopt California’s rules – meaning much of the US car industry will be transitioning ahead of any proposed federal rule.
Still, the EPA’s proposal takes a different approach from California’s policy. Whereas California is mandating car companies sell a certain percentage of electric vehicles, the EPA would gradually raise greenhouse gas emissions standards to increasingly stringent levels from 2027 to 2032, pushing the industry toward electric vehicles to meet those high standards.
The EPA rule would ensure that the rest of the country and the US car industry would follow California’s lead, Oge said.
Biden has made electrifying the cars that Americans drive a key part of his climate goals. In 2021, the president set a new target that half of all vehicles sold in the US by 2030 would be battery electric, fuel-cell electric or plug-in hybrid.
The US Treasury Department is set to release rules for new federal electric vehicle tax credits on April 18. While these tax credits are complex and could take time for consumers to take full advantage of, experts hope they will help accelerate the transition to EVs in the US.
“Given the industry, the [Inflation Reduction Act] and what companies are doing globally, I just don’t see this number as being out of reach,” Oge said.
The proposed EPA rules will go through a lengthy public comment process and could be changed before they are finalized.
EVs are the second car for use in the city. Outlawing ICE cars and planes means Joe Bloggs can not anymore go a long journey. That privilege will be for the anointed only.
But there is an eco solution: the stagecoach. I see an enormous demand for horses coming up and will invest my pension in stud farms. Alternatively I could spend some of my money and exercise my 2nd amendment rights.
Are you sure that all your weapons weren’t lost in a boating accident like mine were? I hear there is quite the epidemic of that of late. (the above is a common joke on the 2nd amendment boards)
If this EPA EV new standard goes into effect then brown-outs and rolling black-outs will become the norm as energy rationing becomes mandatory across the nation. The existing electrical grid can’t handle such a dramatic increase of demand. Building new power plants is a multi-decade process with the current environmental regulations.
This will have no effect on making the country “carbon neutral” as gasoline is still going to be produced in the same amount as part of the crude oil cracking process. Except now instead of burning gasoline in automobiles it will be burned off at the oil refineries, just like it was done in the 1800s.
That is only if China manages to enslave enough African children to mine all the raw materials to make the batteries. I doubt there are enough children in Africa to produce enough processable ores to make enough batteries to get us any where near the rolling brown-out stage.
The watermelons have worked out the recalcitrant deplorables won’t vote for direct plant food taxes so it’s best to keep scaring them with deadly emissions tales (the latest is gas stoves) and upping the Regulations putting the squeeze on like so-
Toyota’s New Engine Technical review Part 1 : Cooling,Lubrication,Direct Injection and EGR – YouTube
That is brilliant engineering in conjunction with Toyota’s world’s best Hybrid Synergy Drive but you can see the complexity and expense it forces on carmakers and that will be a 10 year throwaway. Less if you don’t appreciate the specific maintenance regime required and live in the past. So just lower the emissions bar further and not even Toyota will be able to limbo under it as they’re on the limits of ICE engineering now.
Who are “watermelons“? I’ve never hear the term.
“they’re on the limits of ICE engineering now”
Hopefully [someone] is always on the limits of [whatever] engineering. Otherwise the limits would not move.
The watermelons are “green” on the outside, and “red” (Communist/Socialist) on the inside 🙂
The biggest problem from here on out is going to be “ how do we survive this” this is a recipe for economic collapse of the western world . So how do we hedge, protect our life savings, etc
I had a conversation with a high level energy executive late last year
His take on this is that there are very radical ideologues running the west
and that until they fail nothing is going to change. I wish I had an answer to
your question but I don’t. He was quite concerned about WW3 starting.
I’ve been somewhat self sufficient as a farmer rancher and will keep moving
in that direction.
I really wonder where all of the politicians are on all of this. The Democrats all vote one way. That about the Republicans – I don’t hear a peep out of them. Where does Mitch McConnel stand on all of this? He has always been part of the uniparty and he and his wife have made a fortune from China.
Are the Republicans our friends?
any politician that even remotely resembles a RINO needs to be gone!
The elite have owned both horses in a two horse race for a very long time. Politicians know who butters their bread. It isn’t citizens.
I know it’s frustrating , like talking to a box of rocks, but you have to “ campaign “ you have confront and at least try to inform all the useful idiot dem voters about what is happening. They literally don’t know what they do.
To translate Bidenese, “for every EV sold we will let you buy one new gas-powered car.”
The latest EIA annual energy outlook predicted about 2M EV sales in 2030. So, you commoners will be allowed to by 2M gassers for a total of 4M autos vs the normal sales of over 15M cars of all kinds.
Just think of all the “added jobs created”, signed Brandon.
All part of the plan. We/world are marching to the Agenda 21 Globalist, One Government manifesto and not even realizing we’re being played. Democracy better wake up.
The endangerment finding needs to challenged and reversed. All this nonsense goes away when the fraud is exposed.
Looks like the resale of a used ICE vehicle just went up.
(What’s the resale value of a used EV?)
Depends on the age of the battery and the number of recharges. Can you get that information? it has nothing to do with the odometer.
“forced upon YOU without a vote!”
I think there were elections. The current representatives won. Incumbents win often, but not always.
As usual all the target and due-by dates are in someone else’s leadership.
If it cannot happen, it won’t happen. No matter what the EPA mandates. But they will make a lot of people very unhappy along the way.
Biden and his team definitely gunning for worst administration ever:
JB is 80 years old
The proposed emission standards are absurd. This is all becoming ridiculous. If issued the standards (like net zero) will never be met because they can’t be met. The entire Great Reset crowd and their Climate Change acolytes brings to mind Ozymandias. That’s where they are headed – to a barren desert, buried in sand and forgotten.
I don’t recall seeing this mentioned before, but what about all those motor homes and 5th-wheelers, and campers etc., and the industries that support them, including all of those sales people?
The EPA has lost its marbles. People drive long distances in the USA. There is no power distribution for long distances along roads. There are enough petrol (gas) stations to cope with the few hundred miles that fossil fueled vehicles can manage. These electric cars are going to need very large and heavy batteries. Trucks are impossible (which I think Tesla have discovered with their truck project).
“EVs to be forced upon YOU without a vote!” There is no product or action that should be compulsory by vote. Having once voted, it is still not OK to compel me to buy government approved toothpaste or anything else.
If we have accepted that voting makes everything OK, we’ve already been manipulated into giving up all self-determination and freedom.
Gosh, where does electricity come from again? And no mention of the exploding lithium batteries problem?
Yawn. Been there, done that in California.
During the 1990s “Zero Emission” vehicles was the rallying cry and the California Legislature with the input of CARB voted. Their edict: by the year 2000, at least 10% of all vehicles sold in California SHALL BE ZERO EMISSION…” It didn’t happen then. Now, will lots of taxpayer $$ and many virtue signaling, EV sales seem to be in the teens. However, how we will charge them is a crapshoot. Big Green is back and they want to shut down Diablo Canyon once again which is nearly 10% of California’s energy needs.
