Citizens of Texas were not harmed my @$$!

Not just Texas, but the whole shooting match. Some are just too dumb (or willfully blind) to realize they've been hurt.

You fail to understand, repeatedly. Few if any here are against EVs. There are some really nice ones. The point is, government is forcing it down everyone's throats based on bad science with a product and infrastructure that are not ready for prime time. There's already a shortage of electricity, and costs are rising, the grid is nowhere near being able to support fully electric transportation. Unicorns won't make it happen. It is lowering our standard of living across the board by getting less for more cost.

The free market is excellent at bringing new technologies forward, let them without government interference and/or picking winners and losers with my tax dollars.

Informed people can "think alike" simply because they are knowledgeable on the subject. There are engineers and other technical people here who know far more about these things than you do. A wise person would learn from them instead trying to tell them things they know aren't so.

Ditto.  If I lived in a crowded city with lots of stop signs and red lights and had zero plans of ever travelling anywhere outside a 20-mile radius, then an EV would definitely be a viable option.  But I don't live in such a place.  I live in the country with long stretches without stop signs, red lights, or traffic congestion.  I have a 50-mile commute each day, and I average around 46 mpg for that commute which is better than a Prius.  That's less than 5½ gallons of gas a week, far less than it would cost to recharge EV batteries.  And if I decide to take a day trip to Nashville or Birmingham, I don't have to worry about stopping to recharge somewhere along the way.

If EVs work for you, I applaud your decision.  But there's no way I would ever mandate that (at the point of a gun) on someone living in Wyoming, Oklahoma, Texas, etc.  Of course liberals have no qualms about using guns to do exactly that.

The largest newspaper in Atlanta is putting the writing on the wall for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Being Atlanta's largest newspaper does not make it Atlanta's "top paper".

Curious of your opinion on the bill @Hoodat

@Free Vulcan

Smoke and mirrors.  Passing a new law does nothing when the current laws are already being ignored.  There is already a procedure in place for removing names from the voter registration database.  In 2019, the State was obligated by law to remove close to 80,000 names from the voter roles.  Yet they failed to do so.

There were numerous laws broken by the State during the 2020 election year.  And Governor Kemp knows it.  So this new "law" is just another CYA moment from this cabal.  Right now, there are more registered voters in Georgia than there are people eligible to vote.  So no, I have zero confidence in anything that Kemp/Carr/Raffensperger/Sterling do.

 

Tonight...

Maybe another episode of The Gabby Hayes Show from around 1953.
Yer dern tootin' !!

I read a bio of Hayes and unbelievably he declared that he hated westerns. He was quoted as saying that they were all the same with limited plots.
