This debate in many ways mimics all political debates we seem to have these days between the forward looking fact based folks, and the resent ridden conspiracy loons who refuse to admit that things are indeed changing.

How about an amendment to impose a $2500 tariff on imported batteries

Gasoline / Diesel-powered vehicle and equip manufacturing facilities are powered by electricity, also.

Nothing to see here.

That's true, but nobody is pretending that equipment used in refining, pumping, and other aspects of gas/diesel production aren't powered by electricity. The EV industry has very much tried to dodge the fact that most of the power that goes into EV charging and certainly production comes from electric power generated by fossil fuels.

Even with federal government bribes to buyers and state governments locking out competing ICE technologies Ford appears to be tapping out on their big battery plant investment.

Ford 'pausing' construction of Marshall EV battery plant

The construction pause comes amid an auto industry strike and political backlash over Ford Motor Co.'s planned use of Chinese technology at the plant.

Why would you build a battery plant in UAW territory instead of creating a non-Ford company and plant somewhere sane?

“Closing 65 plants over the last 20 years wasn’t enough for the Big Three, now they want to threaten us with closing plants that aren’t even open yet,” he said in the statement. “We are simply asking for a just transition to electric vehicles and Ford is instead doubling down on their race to the bottom.“

Well you don’t seem to be negotiating in good faith. And demands are ridiculous

Well, shame on them. In our family, we have 1 EV among various gas-powered vehicles, and we enjoy it (just as we enjoy other battery-powered devices) and we don't knowingly participate in dodging the truths (as you're saying does "the industry") .

NOW, if you want to contemplate the fact that certain types of men have for centuries made it a practice towards attempting to "dodge the fact" (i.e. deceive the people), you should look to the Bible (as, for example, Teddy Roosevelt utilized the Bible / history for these types of things):

Matthew 28:
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money

13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ 14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

15So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.


^^ Look: they "formed a plan" (of deception / of proceeding "to dodge the fact (truth)".

Out of curiosity, what is your explanation for why Trump will hand the Ukraine over to Putin in the first 24 hours of his administration?

Out of curiosity. What does that have to do with people who bring forward evidence that EV technology is garbage? Why are they automatically loons?
