And this might not just be about fossil fueled vehicles, but, EVs. They really do not like that you have the freedom to travel
President Joe Biden’s top climate adviser suggested that he wants the administration to more expediently pursue ways to decrease reliance on driving in a conversation about Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) policies on Wednesday.
White House Climate Adviser Ali Zaidi suggested that finding ways to get Americans to live closer to where they work, and therefore rely on vehicle travel less altogether, is something that the Biden administration “absolutely” needs to address with greater haste. He made the comments in response to a question about whether the government needs to speed up its green energy projects and permitting at a Wednesday event, hosted by The Washington Post at its headquarters, focusing on choices consumers and businesses can make to reduce emissions.
“Are you worried about meeting the emissions targets and the amount of investment, or, let’s say dependence, on (electric vehicle sales) growth in the plan to reduce emissions?” Washington Post columnist Bina Venkataraman asked Zaidi.
“On the question of whether we need to go faster, I think the answer is absolutely yes,” Zaidi said in response. “Whether it’s on electric vehicles, whether it’s on electrification, cleaning up rail and marine, whether it’s the future of sustainable aviation— biofuels, hydrogen, electric— every single mode, every single segment of transportation. And by the way, that includes increasing choices for transit, micro-transit and being able to live closer to where you need to work and go.”
For all those yammering about Trump being a Fascist, this is Fascist. The US government has zero business in dictating where we live or travel. It’s not a power delegated to the federal government, and damned sure the Executive has zero authority to push this on people. It would be fun if Trump went out there and said the same thing, and see how the Credentialed Media and elected Democrats respond.
Anyhow, here’s Joe today
It’s so long I had to make two snips. That’s a serious amount of fossil fueled airplane trips, and then the giant motorcades. But, you should be forced out of your private vehicle.
BTW, I told you that the climate cult elites would be trying to force people out of all private vehicles even before EVs become the predominate ones.
