Green Energy Demands Obedience : Citizens Don't Buy It

Nothing new here - just more government intervention and more failure to deliver on it's mandate under the Constitution to lead and protect. The ideology of the Obama administration, climate change is the most dangerous to our nations that we are facing today, and the progressive socialist democrats have nothing to do with protecting the people or the nation, but the "fundamentally changing"  of America from a free society to a controlled oligarchy, the smartest, the intellectuals, and well positioned few, the industrial connected, demanding obedience from the many.

By limiting the accessibility to abundant energy by forcing coal and other fossil energy resources out of existents, and then demanding we all most do what the powerful say we must to save the planet, knowingly using managed facts as proof, reduces the options that the citizens have to make independent decisions regarding their future and well being, the very backbone of progressive socialism.

Tyranny by the few always has failed but it never is out of style for those that seek to take power from others.

Americans Don't Want to Pay for Neighbor's Electric Vehicle

 To cut carbon emissions Congress has passed numerous incentives to encourage consumers to make eco-friendly decisions, such as the purchase of electric vehicles (EV). A recent survey of voter attitudes toward government subsidization of electric vehicles shows that of a sample of 1013 likely voters, U.S. taxpayers were skeptical of government decisions regarding vehicles or fuels.

Those making $150,000 a year or more should not receive a $7,500 tax credit for purchasing an EV, responded 76 percent of those surveyed. 83 percent replied they did not trust the federal government to decide which kinds of cars should be subsidized or mandated.

Electricity rate payers should not be compelled to pay for EV charging stations according to 74 percent of respondents. Overwhelmingly, it seems U.S. taxpayers are opposed to government involvement in energy and transportation choices. Policymakers would do well to allow the electric-vehicle industry compete on its own merits rather than encouraging taxpayers through subsidies to purchase EVs.
