Washington, Oregon, and California are the states affected. They are Democrat controlled. They will try to delay the project until it dies.

Inescapable facts.

This explains why we need to reverse course.

"One could therefore not think of a more inflation encouraging policy than an anti-fossil fuel policy because it increases the cost of our input fuels, especially those policies blocking development of the oil and gas that constitute 65% of America's energy supply."

It is causing inflation and lowering living standards.

Half of all E.V. owners say they will be going back to gas powered cars because E.V.s are so limiting and such a pain.

There are lots of examples online of that.

Scottish couple gets charged $27,000 to replace battery while under warranty because they drove in the rain.  That is right, it rained, and Tasla's design was so bad the battery for the electric car shorted out.

Ford also does similar stupid shit.  Like with an F150 if your tail light goes out the manufacturer's approved solution is to replace the entire light assembly for $1500.  These are just bad designs IMHO.

Auto makers have to get these bugs fixed or no subsidy will entice new buyers.

I got a message that add blockers are not allowed on youtube! LMFAO! Didnt watch.

This is why a used electric vehicle is trash which you should avoid.  Due to bad thermo management a used Nissan Leaf only gets 25 miles per charge of range.  Granted it is a 12 year old car but that is just trash especially since a new battery costs so much.

I wondered about used EV's.

There will never be a majority global fleet of private vehicle let alone semis, heavy industrial equipment or planes. The oil and gas sector can do a better job of lowering or eliminating emissions than than electric cars can.

Oilsands can decarbonize on 'fraction' of funding battery makers are getting

The chair of one of Canada's largest companies in the oil patch says the sector can remove a significant amount of carbon from the economy with just a "fraction" of the billions of dollars that Ottawa is spending to build its battery industry.

Alex Pourbaix, executive chair of Cenovus Energy Inc., said Canadian fossil fuel companies are trying to remove 22 megatonnes of carbon dioxide by 2030 by using various technologies such as carbon capture and storage and nuclear energy.

"I can't imagine that any level of battery technology is going to achieve that kind of decarbonization," he said.

Cenovus is part of an organization called Pathways Alliance along with five of the other largest oilsands companies, including Suncor Energy Inc. and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., and Pourbaix said the government should support the alliance's goals.

"We are asking for a fraction of what the government has already given, as I understand it, to the battery manufacturers," he said. "If the goal here is to remove carbon from the economy at the lowest average cost, then I would suggest the government should take a very, very hard look at continuing to support our industry."

In 2023, Canadian governments signed agreements with battery and car makers such as Stellantis NV, LG Energy Solution Ltd., Volkswagen AG and Northvolt AB to build three battery plants in Canada, with governments offering the companies performance incentives worth billions of dollars in an effort to match incentives provided by the United States.

Poor lady.  She was having her regular gas powered car being serviced under warranty by the dealership and the dealer gave her an EV as a loaner car to drive until her car was fixed.  She went home, parked it in her garage, then the EV battery caught on fire and burned her whole house down.
