Mitt Romney: Americans should get ready to buy more electric cars
by John Siciliano | Jan 27, 2018, 5:57 PM

Ninety percent of all new cars Americans purchase will be electric in the not too distant future, said former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

"Exponential progress and innovation is what’s just beginning to hit the world — now not just in computers," he said in a speech to a farm group in Utah this week.

But the change in automobiles from gasoline to electric will be coming in about a decade, he said. "You’re going to see healthcare change, automobiles change — in my view, in about 10 years, I’ll bet 90 percent of the cars we buy are electric.”

Romney has a history in the American automobile industry and was born in Detroit, Mich., home of the "Big Three" — Ford, GM, and Fiat Chrysler. His father, George Romney, was CEO of the American Motor Company, better known by just its acronym: AMC.

If true, there had better be a plan to increase energy and infrastructure to deal with the increased demand for power.

Anyone care to attempt to explain the difference between Mitt Romney and Al Gore or any other Democrat Oligarch?

Because I'll be damned to find any on my own.

Neither can I.  Mitt needs to STFU about everybody buying something.  "Hey Mitt!  I'll buy what I can afford.  I know, strange concept when you have a silver spoon stuck in your mouth....."

Mitt over plucks his eyebrows. Al combs his eyebrows up.  Other than that and algores  00 pounds, not much.

That is possibly the BEST comparison of differences any one on earth has ever compiled between the two.

Aside from the letter they put after their names.

Thanks!

Sure...as soon as they come up with one that's affordable,  powerful, can go 400-500 miles on a single charge, and only takes about five-ten minutes to recharge, I'll think about it.
Until then, sorry Mitt. This sounds as realistic as the guy who, in some column I read a few months ago, said no Americans would be owning their own cars by 2030.  They have to be dreaming.
