Biden and his party are pushing for a ban on real cars in favor of electric cars in order to save the planet.
Unless we switch to electric cars, we’re told, the oceans will rise, the seas will boil, cats will start living with dogs and the planet will burn.
And then then sacrifices that will ban 53% of Americans and the majority of black people from owning cars will be worth it because keeping most Americans from car ownership will at least save the human race.
Right? But wait a minute.
The Biden administration is preparing to raise tariffs on clean-energy goods from China in the coming days, with the levy on Chinese electric vehicles set to roughly quadruple, according to people familiar with the matter.
I’m all for raising tariffs on Chinese plug-in toy cars or Chinese anything, but if the Biden administration really and sincerely believes that the planet is on the verge of destruction because we drive filthy polluting cars (instead of nice, clean EVs which require strip mining and poisoning entire villages so that they can be shipped here and then powered by electricity derived from coal), then why quibble about EVs coming from China?
As an American nationalist who doesn’t believe in global warming, I’m fine with it, but the Biden crew aren’t nationalists and they claim to think the planet is on the verge of destruction?
So let’s use Chinese EVs to save the planet. (If the planet is really in danger.)
Biden and the EU have been threatening China about “dumping” cheap solar panels and other “green” tech in Europe and America.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday said she would not rule out any measures, including potential tariffs, on China’s green energy exports.
The U.S. has been increasingly voicing concerns about an oversupply of subsidized Chinese clean energy products — such as solar power, electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries — that it can export to international markets at discounted prices, which the White House says harms the competitiveness of domestic firms. Washington’s anxiety is shared by U.S. allies including Japan and Europe, as a glut of cheap Chinese products, such as solar panels, has flooded their markets.
“We just want to make sure that we’re not driven out of business, and that our firms and workers have opportunities in these industries which will be important ones in our future,” she added.
Again, if these people really believed the green garbage will save the planet, they would be cheering China for cheaply producing it.
They don’t believe it.
They’re not nationalists and they’re happy to have China dump lots of products on our markets. Why are they pushing back against green energy products? Same reason they’re pushing it on us in the first place.
Wealthy donors linked to the party invested big money in the so-called “clean energy transition”.
Biden and the gang aren’t trying to save the planet, they’re making sure those donors get rich and write them more checks. They’re not trying to save the planet by destroying our lives, they’re out to enrich the elites.

It’s a scam. I recently rented an electric car for a few days in NYC – and not by choice. I reserved a gas only car and expected to get one, but when I got to the AVIS/Payless site, all that was available were EV’S. I had a choice – to take the EV or wait around til God knows when for a gas car to come in. I wasn’t the only one with this problem. There were several other people who also got stuck with EV’s they had not reserved and were waiting. I was constantly anxious about running out of electric and where I could recharge in and around Queens and Long Island. When I finally found a place, it was FIFTY BUCKS for what would have been at most fifteen dollars of gas.

I feel your pain …. I feel your pain ….
Biden and Obama and the Clintons were always just knuckleheads scamming to enrich themselves and
their friends and political allies.
The moral depravity and murderous policies of the democrat party knows no bounds.

What struck me was direct pollution vs indirect pollution. Hide the pollution by transferring it overseas to strip mines in China and Africa.

I think that the woke leftist Biden democrat administration and the environmentalists are seriously considering the adoption of Chinese rickshaws for human transportation.
America will import billions of high tech rickshaws from China.
The Ivy League college students at Columbia, NYU, Harvard and MIT and Stanford and Berkeley and UCLA and Penn and Michigan State and Madison will be protesting vigorously for all American citizens to be banned from cars and only Chinese Rickshaws permitted.
The US House and Senate and the President and the Supreme Court will all fall in line to make America safe for the Chinese Rickshaw Era.
Seatbelts and strap-in baby seats of course will be required on all rickshaws.
Rickshaw pullers will have to be licensed by each state.
The US Department of Safety however will require another 500 billion dollars to regulate all aspects of
Rickshaw Safety. in America in order to assure that the Chinese do not send inferior quality rickshaws into America.
The Rickshaw Pullers Association of America (RPAA)
will of course be demanding its rights and fair wages.
American ingenuity will contribute highly to the development of the Rickshaw industry.
And certainly, the Rickshaw and Rickshaw Pulling industries in America will make millions of new jobs available for Americans and illegal aliens as well.
And of course the New Rickshaw Pulling businesses will be equal opportunity employers.
America can become the first nation to put a Rickshaw and its Driver on the moon.
Oh …. These smart woke leftist democrats think of everything.

Te valuations of EV companies are based on the premise that EVs will be forced upon populace. A lot of money was invested for that reason only. The cheap Chinese imports basically screw those who invested in US EV companies and drove stock price to a fantasy levels. Those people are connected. That is who is current administration protecting. Remember Solyndra? And a bailout of politically connected investors?!
Daniel Greenfield says
exactly my point
if Chinese dump cheap EVs in America, Dem donors (and the party) will lose a fortune.

Facts will never deter the woke leftist depraved psychopathic greedy murderous democrat agenda.
Bet on it.

One question we should ask is why are Chinese imports so cheap? Is it because the people who make them are willing to work for less because there is less welfare available for them to live on instead of working? Is it because the West taxes to death western companies that have to raise their prices to pass those taxes on to the consumer? Is it both?
Daniel Greenfield says
Chinese corps don’t have to spend as much on research as they just rip off our work
they have plenty of cheap labor, no worker protections or any of the other stuff that priced American industry out of competition
and they’re government subsidized (but in the Asian oligarchic way, not the moronic corrupt way that we do it)

Its all about the money. The greed factor drives the elites. Anything they can do to make money, no matter how the American people are cheated and given poorer driving vehicles. Nobody wants these Electric vehicles.

Here is the electricity scenario for the not too distant future …
A devastating breakdown of the electric grid will happen for one reason or another.
The democrat funded “think tanks” in Washington will conclude that the “deplorables” in America
(50 percent of the population) have no need for cars and electricity anyway..
Problem solved.
The devil take the hindmost.

Hey Nader what’s you have to say about those four wheel Fire boxes as you did with the Corvair? are you still alive Nader?! what’s you and your bothersome little Group Public Citizen have to say about those EV,s?!

And then there is the ugly as —– factor. Solar Farms are and eye sore. Eye sore is the nicest way I can say it. If I explained it the way I feel it, this post would be deleted.
What once were rolling hills of apple and peach orchards, are now solar farms.
The illegals went from picking fruit to building solar panels—–jobs for Americans ya know— Latin Americans is what they mean.
Deport the illegals, and make them each carry a solar panel back home.
