Passenger cars would have to achieve 66.4 miles a gallon in 2032, up from 44.1 mpg last year. The ramp-up for trucks and SUVs is even steeper—to 54.4 mpg from 32.1 mpg. Auto makers will have no way to comply but to make more EVs.

Here’s the kicker: The Energy Department is also proposing to reduce the “miles per gallon equivalent” for EVs. For example, the F-150 Lightning’s rating would decline to 67 mpg from 237 mpg. This means auto makers will have to produce even more EVs to meet Cafe mandates. They’ll be fined if they fall short.

A GM presentation to the White House estimated that industry penalties could total $300 billion, or about $4,300 per vehicle, from 2027 to 2031. Consumers and workers will pay the cost, and for what? The Administration claims the proposal will reduce CO2 emissions through 2050 by 885 million metric tons—about half as much as Canada’s wildfires are projected to release this year.

I want to pass a law that prohibits you from ever owning or driving an EV of any type. Is that ok with you? Then, maybe you will shut your yap, and quit complaining about something that will never impact you.

Oh, if you want us to read the WSJ article, you need to share your ID and password.

The only thing is, no one gives a crap what you think is important. My electron guzzler gets at least 3 miles to the kWh, sometimes 4. That's all I need to know to realize it is great at getting me around in quiet and comfort.

I really feel so good knowing I'm not suffering like Ed Lee.

Of course, no one cares what you drive, because you are pretty much inconsequential, having no impact on anyone, or any thing.

Ed Lee is not suffering, just experimenting. Sometimes just side-tracked. For example, right now he is trying to figure out an adapter to fit in the 20,000 pound ball joint press.

None of it makes any difference because all indications are modern civilization will be extinct sometime soon.

> It only looks that way if you are as silly as Fred. We might manage a population crash, but the survivors should be able to sustain communications and hang onto most of our data. We might need to purge everything ever published by the Murdoch media, but it could be argued that we won't rate a modern civilisation until we get around to doing that. It is a residual barabarism.
