    I just can't understand the rush. The chicken littles will tell you because the sky is falling. I can easily look up and see that it is indeed not falling? But what about the floods and droughts?? Well, ancient history has plenty of both, but not a single Combustion Engine to be found. I think some of them would argue with me that the dinosaurs would still be around if they had done more recycling and not made their electricity with Coal.

    Goes a bit deeper than that.

    There are many that purchase them believing it is a safe product.

    Boy, 7, and 19-year-old sister killed in e-bike battery fire in NYC apartment; neighbor recounts grim choice on who to save – New York Daily News (nydailynews.com)


    Two children killed in fire caused by e-bike's lithium-ion battery in New York, officials say (yahoo.com)


    NYC is seeing more fires caused by e-bike batteries : NPR

    How's about we let the testing program take place on government officials that are in favor of the EV push? Oh yeah, that's right......they don't use them!

    Have you been talking with some dinosaurs? I’ve said for years that the trust and go back and ask a wooly mammoth and his t-Rex pal! The earth keeps pretty good records if itself. We have left a COOLONG period of the better half of the 1900s and now going back to a more NORMAL weather pattern. Man has only kept records of the weather for the past century.

    Poopy pants is upset because only 6% of people want EV and such. New mandates for 2032 models coming soon to force it down our throats. Sorry pal you’ll lose cause I ain’t buying your BS and agendas!

    Yeah. Listen to the science, right? There’s “science” and then there’s science backed by proven facts.

    Regulation isn't the problem. The idiots pushing the good idea fairy agenda are the problem.

    100% regulation is the problem. Where that regulation originated from is another story. Regulation skews the market in a way that puts restrictions on the manufacturer and consumer from allowing the manufacturer to create a product that suits the consumers wants or needs. But the people pushing the good idea fairy agenda are the ones drafting and passing regulation. The mental defectives you see protesting while everyone is at work are just using any excuse they can to get out of their parents basement for the day.

    The only thing the government got right that I can think of is the PCV valve in the early 60's (before my time). But I'm sure you older guys remember the "rainbow roads" after a rain.

    Spot on. All the DC crowd wants to do is make more rules that they won’t follow themselves. We don’t need more rules, we don’t need more gun control laws that us law abiding citizens will be punished by, we don’t need anymore agendas leading the way, we don’t need anymore crybabies having to get their way spite the majority being against it.

    And I guess you don’t like the old draft tube engines? Diesels still had them in more recent times.
