CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 1, 2022
ARE YOU READY TO BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR WHEN THE BATTERIES WON’T LAST AS LONG AS A GASOLINE POWERED CAR AND THE COST IS MORE THAN AVERAGE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD? IT DOESN’T MATTER TO THIS GREEN ADMINISTRATION WHICH HAS PUT A TYPE OF SECULAR THEOLOGY AHEAD OF COMMON SENSE.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS THAT THE COST OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES HAS RISEN SUBSTANTIALLY IN RECENT MONTHS DUE TO THE RISING COST OF BATTERIES, AMONG OTHER THINGS. IN JUST THE PAST FEW MONTHS, TESLA, FORD AND GENERAL MOTORS HAVE RAISED PRICES ON THEIR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. LAST WEEK, GM TACKED ON $6,250 TO THE PRICE OF ITS GMC HUMMER ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK, WHICH NOW RANGE FROM $85 THOUSAND TO $105 THOUSAND DOLLARS. A GM SPOKESMAN SAID THERE IS A TWO-YEAR WAITING PERIOD TO GET ONE.
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, THE LITHIUM IN THESE BATTERIES IS MOSTLY MINED IN CHINA. HOW IS THE ADMINISTRATION OK WITH THIS WHEN CHINA IS POURING FENTANYL INTO THE COUNTRY THAT IS KILLING THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE?
THE TECHNOLOGY FOR ALL-ELECTRIC CARS ISN’T THERE YET AND THE PRICE OF GASOLINE HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY RAISED BY THIS ADMINISTRATION TO FORCE US INTO CARS WE CAN’T AFFORD AND WHICH DON’T PERFORM AS WELL AS GAS-POWERE VEHICLES. THIS IS THE STUFF OF CULTS. HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL NOVEMBER? I’M CAL THOMAS.
Mr. Thomas, I read your weekly column in my local newspaper. I started after Walter Williams passed. A man just like you who loved his country who was full of wisdom and common sense. As you know common sense is not so common anymore. I pray that you are grooming someone as yourself to carry yours and Walters views and commentary forward. Happy 4th. Of July and may God continue to bless you and our nation.
