Pushing Electric Vehicles
This from David Walker:
EVs are a ruse for mass transit. As the government continues to strangle far more effective modes, the de facto and ad hoc push for EVs ensures the masses will be compelled to exchange their key fobs for transit tokens, for whatever public conveyance they purchase.
This particular issue is bipartisan. Gov's Tom Ridge, Pete Wilson, Christine Todd Whitman, George Pataki, and others (all Republicans) were proponents.
I've been tracking it since 1989, and it was re-started in earnest shortly afterward via enhanced emissions inspections (I/M-240, ASM5015, ASM2525, etc.) admin'd by monopoly contractors, with the goal of scrapping all older vehicles and converting them to NOX emissions for sale to stationary sources, and artificially causing new car shortages to drive up prices. Now there are all manner of mandates that are, once again, really intended to drive people out of their cars.
It was back then, at least at first; but the informants (William Yellowtail, EPA Region-8 Admin; and Richard Kamin, NJ-DMV director) made it clear the aim was to transition people out of their cars and into mass transit.
Today the justification is contextual fraud (AGW and "scarcity").

One reason the Left hates us having our own cars is that while we're driving, THEY have no control over what we listen to on the radio.

Excellent point Dana!
And we might be talking some "sedition" with our friends or loved ones in the process.

Yes we might. Either with somebody else in the car, or via cell phone -- using one of the government-mandated hands-free devices, of course.

Of course!
