i'm more into hydrogen, but EV's tick a lot of boxes (besides lasting for longer than around 12 years, and losing range in extreme weather)
I feel like I should have something intelligent to say here, but this is so stupid that it's pulling any cogent thoughts out of my head. Like how drinking distilled water pulls all the electrolytes out of you.
The madness is coming from you, Ronaldo Rump. Must you attach hysteria and hyperbole to everything? Even a goddamned windmill is cause for high drama with you.
Can we push some EVs off a cliff onto his head?
And then build functional public transit for everyone.
Trump as actually a fantastic barometer for where people should focus their values, efforts, and societal goals! Just take the exact opposite of anything this dumb motherfucker says and you’ve got something worth looking at!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Trump is vowing to end the “madness” of the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles — a likely appeal to voters in the swing state of Michigan.
With this opposition to electric vehicles, Trump is likely trying to persuade Michigan voters to support him over Biden, who carried the swing state in 2020.
“The Great State of Michigan will not have an auto industry anymore if Crooked Joe Biden’s crazed concept of ‘all Electric Cars’ goes into effect,” he wrote in the Truth Social post.
Last week, the Energy Department announced plans to invest $12 billion into converting auto manufacturing facilities into plants for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Trump also took aim at Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, for supporting the Biden administration’s latest investment into electric vehicles.
The call-outs come as about 146,000 UAW members near a strike deadline when their contract ends Sept. 14 with three large U.S. automakers — General Motors, Stellantis and Ford.
The original article contains 500 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
There's an EV push?
Trump vows to do lots of stupid things. At this point this one barely even moves the needle.
He’s absolutely despicable in every way. This criminal traitor is going to prison.
sometimes I wonder how hot it has to get before anyone changes their mind on climate change. We'll check back in at the next record breaking heatwaves.

If conservatives' response to covid is any indication, they are willing to literally die first.
Vote for donnie to stall anything being done about climate change and help him get revenge on his own personal and political enemies.
Where can we sign up?
Remember nothing is going to change after all this. It's America and American systems and communities that are fucked, not just trump.
There won't be greener grass on the other side. It's all the same old bullshit.
I thought the same before Trump was elected. I thought to myself, it won't be good but it won't be worse, and boy was I proven wrong.
There are deep systemic flaws in America that are not being addressed. I'm sure you see them too. But things got worse under Trump, just look at the steps backwards in environmental protection, trans rights and women's rights. To say it doesn't matter is ignoring the harm done to many communities.
It's okay to want a better candidate, but to paint both sides as no different is reckless and petulant.
