Which is wrong.
Every US industry is subsidized by the US govt including agriculture and big oil.
But ok, tell the ceo of Stihl who said the people prefer electric and the industry is not going that way that he is wrong.
I'm not against electric things. I am against government shoving it down everyone's throats by force of law. I'm also against government subsidizing the wealthy with new electric toys while everyone else had to pay for it.
Leach fields in just one lithium mine:
Coalmine jobs in W.Va under trump declined every year and have shot back up under biden.
2 million acres are lost every year in the US to new home construction and for building industrial buildings. 15 acres is nothing and B&D is selling back excess power and making $400k per year These companies are doing this not for virtue signaling but it makes economic sense. The B&D plant was built on farmland itself. The plant that makes products there made them in China. Do you want the jobs or not?
If you feel so bad about farmland being used up, year down your home that was most likely farmland at one time and plant corn on your lot
Industry is for electrical products because they are cheaper to make. Head of GM said the typical EV uses a 1/3 of labor and 1/2 the parts of a gas vehicle. Follow the money as Rush always said.
My BIL is a retired 3 tar general and is now VP of a major defense contactor. All future military vehicles. is going EV because the advantages are superior over diesel on the battlefield.
