CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 15, 2023
IF YOU’RE THINKING OF BUYING AN ALL-ELECTRIC CAR FOR SOMEONE THIS CHRISTMAS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK AGAIN. NOT ONLY HAS TESLA RECALLED PRACTICALLY EVERY CAR IT HAS MADE TO FIX AN AUTO-DRIVE FUNCTION THAT HAS BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL, WE NOW LEARN THAT THE NATION’S LARGEST ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING NETWORK DOESN’T WORK.
THE $2 BILLION PROJECT WAS ORDERED BY A COURT IN 2016 FOLLOWING A SCANDAL INVOLVING VOLKSWAGEN. THE COMPANY PROMISED TO MAKE AMENDS BY BUILDING ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HELP WITH THE TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
ONCE AGAIN THE COURTS AND GOVERNMENT ARE TRYING TO IMPOSE SOMETHING MOST AMERICANS DON’T WANT – YET. THE TECHNOLOGY ISN’T THERE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE SUSPICIOUS THAT THIS IS A POLITICAL ACT TO EXERCISE MORE CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES THAN IT IS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.
REMEMBER SOLYNDRA? THE FAILED SOLAR PANEL EXPERIMENT RECEIVED BILLIONS OF OUR TAX MONEY BUT WENT BANKRUPT. STILL, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PUT OUR FAITH IN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT AND SCIENCE TELLS US. NO THANKS. I’M STICKING WITH MY GASOLINE POWERED CAR FOR NOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
