    That appears to have been addressed.

    The internal combustion engine automobile has given us over 130 years of service.
    It did its job, and for the most part, did it very well.

    I'm not super adept at driving a horse drawn carriage.
    The next generation needn't know how to drive and maintain a gasoline motorcar.
    It's simply time to move on.
    Time to move on or not the technology and infrastructure are not as yet capable of replacing gasoline motors. That aside EVs come with their own set of environment degrading problems and in a way it's out of the frying pan into the fire.

    Nowhere to plug in that electric car, mandated by the SDTC!

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    JULY 1, 2022
    Fossil fuel sources accounted for 79% of U.S. consumption of primary energy in 2021

    "Fossil fuels—petroleum, natural gas, and coal—accounted for 79% of the 97 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) of primary energy consumption in the United States during 2021. About 21% of U.S. primary energy consumption in 2021 came from fuel sources other than fossil fuels, such as renewables and nuclear, according to data in our Monthly Energy Review."
