I was wandering the same thing.
Cain’t wrap my head around hit.
Oh, that was simple. I did the "@" from the keyboard and highlighted and copied "RavinDave" under his forklift pic. What I need to know is how it's supposed to work. What am I missing?

Youngkin vows to Untie Virginia from California’s 'out of touch' electric vehicle shift
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) vowed to block all efforts to ban gas-powered vehicles in Virginia.
His declaration comes after California’s Air Resources Board voted Thursday to implement an executive order by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) that phases out gas-powered vehicles and bans the sale of them beginning in 2035. Virginia passed a law in 2021 that set the Commonwealth on a path to adopt California’s emissions standards.
“In an effort to turn Virginia into California, liberal politicians who previously ran our government sold Virginia out by subjecting Virginia drivers to California vehicle laws,” Youngkin wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “Now, under that pact, Virginians will be forced to adopt the California law that prohibits the sale of gas and diesel-fueled vehicles. I am already at work to prevent this ridiculous edict from being forced on Virginians. California’s out of touch laws have no place in our Commonwealth.”

All this will not matter as the corporations are going all electric and will stop making gas vehicles.
They are in cahoots.
My bet..in 10 years the oil industry is going to need a gov subsidy to get off the mat. That would be the good news. The bad news is by then the gas stations will be closed and the government will have to throw tens of trillions at the problem they created in the first place. Just the way they want it.

I ama sucker.
What does one think will happen with no plan? Just chaos.
The world is heading to chaos because of the plan.
Intentional eliminating cheap energy = eliminating cheap food... how many horses do we need to farm the food 7 billion eat? Quite a lot.
Many of the 7+ billion are going to have to go.
Without cheap energy = no cheap food. The economy runs on cheap energy, behind all economic output is a the cost of energy. Fertilizing corn fields with lithium seems unlikely to help.
Mad Max i.e. depopulation by that time.
The blown up GEORGIA GUIDESTONES theory.
There she blows... auto capitalization of the GG
That kinda freaks me out
Apparently the UK is jumping on the idiocy bandwagon and banning gas boilers in new homes starting in 2025 which is what 85% of people heat with over there. I'm sure they have started building new solar and wind farms for the new house buyers to be able to heat their homes with since their electric grid is at capacity.

Oil keeps engines running. Likewise, cheap energy and low interest keep the economy running. Every system grinds to a halt if you don't manage the friction. It's just simple basic mechanics; frictional losses stop processes. One of my thermo professors always joked that the First law of Thermodynamics is that you can't get something for nothing, and the Second Law said you can't get as much as you thought you could (all about losses and process efficiency). You can't have commodities markets running up fuel prices or having to increase interest rates due to inflation without wreaking havoc on the economy. A national economy is essentially a closed system with interrelated dependencies; you can't screw with one thing and not affect the rest.
Interesting. I never knew about the Georgia Guidestones until now. It is a quandary. A population can easily outstrip resources, but how do you control population? If climate change ever becomes connected to being a population issue, it will be dead in the water because nobody is going to touch population control.
