Exactly correct - picking winners and losers by weaponizing economic factors such as supply and demand. Homage must be paid to the Environmental lobby regardless of impact on rank-and-file Americans.

BHO did similar economic manipulation with the "cash for clunkers" program, forcing the market for used car parts to skyrocket, thereby making new(er) car purchases required to remain mobile. This was in pursuit of elimination of "dirty" cars for the Enviro lobby as well as "stimulating the economy" by artificially pushing one of the actual measurements used in economic health determination forward. As expected it was a short blip (~6-9 mos. as I recall) before things returned to status quo economically.

Validates just a bit what I said the other day...nobody becomes President by being an idiot. So when you see something that seems incomprehensible in its stupidity, know there's an agenda that you're not seeing.

These elites love to tell you how they drive an EV and have solar panels on their homes! Yeah they can afford it since WE the taxpayers are PAYING for all this! What a prideful and arrogant bunch! These elites are the Pharisees of our day! They have contempt on ALL America and exploit those they claim to champion! How long will America put up with this nonsense? Lord have mercy on ALL of us! We need HIS help to get us out of this mess! Be the publican not the Pharisee!

Never let the facts get in the way of a good argument. What are the tradeoffs.

By the numbers - 1 MW of solar power take 15 acres of land. Replacing a 10MW nuclear reactor is 150 acres ( .25 sq mi).

When you put up large solar panel fields. Nothing grows underneath. No grass, No feed stuffs, not tomato's, nothing (the panels block the sun). I thought killing the plants that absorb the CO2 was bad for the environment as well.

Silly you and your facts! How insensitive! No telling how many Greta Thunbergs just threw themselves over a cliff because of it! (*Pssst! Post more often!*)

Completely. It is very disturbing how many Americans are falling for this brainwashing.

And if I’m not mistaken, when Trump called him on this during one of the debates, Biden backed off and lied. This man is a career serial liar and racist. His career was built on being a shill for banks incorporated in DE. He is corrupt. His family’s a corrupt hot mess. He needs to go!

Time to take China Joe out of office! Unfortunately only Vice President Stupid can invoke the 25th Amendment. I’m surprised Harris hasn’t done that yet, but I digress.

EV’s are worse for this country and the world in general. States are unable to meet current electric needs now. How can the electric grid possibly support a BILLION + electric cars, trucks, planes, homes etc??!! Lithium batteries are dangerous, costly, don’t last forever, cannot be recycled.

Wind farms are just as bad. Cost of maintaining them is exorbitant and those blades are NOT recyclable! Traveling the country; the majority of those wind farms are standing perfectly still. It takes wind!

I don’t normally swear but …

Let’s Go Brandon you pathetic old traitor.

Recently, a ship transporting 4,000 cars across the Atlantic caught fire, and it burned for a couple of days before sinking. From a friend in the car industry I know a number of the cars on that ship were EVs. While the cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, authorities have stated that the lithium batteries on the cars kept sparking new fires. I’m not sure that I want an EV charging in my garage at night.

I totally agree. There was a house in CA that caught fire from the EV which was parked in the garage.

I’m staying old school, have too since we’re full time RVers. Our fuel costs have doubled and that hurts but we’re not the only ones hurt by this president.

Good work Erick!

How many windmills, solar panels & batteries will it take to produce the fuel for the electric cars??

Can Erick or someone please explain to me how American Jews can support a party that demonstrates such a deep seated animus, bordering on hate, toward Israel? Additionally, why aren't all corners of Congress and the media calling for a hearing into Biden's dealings with Iran? What Biden is doing there in terms of having Russia and China, sworn enemies of the United States, negotiating on our behalf, is not only dangerous, it's treasonous. He and his administration are not only jeopardizing our national security, but Israel's, as well as our Arab allies in the region. Can you imagine the cries of impeachment if this were happening under Trump. Where is the GOP on this? Where is Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, et al? Erick - You are doing an incredible job of getting the facts out there, better than most in fact, and you could dedicate an entire show to this topic. My God, I thought Obama was bad, but Joe blows him away. If there ever was a President to impeach, Joe is it.

Joe is a continuation of Obama except now the dementia prone President is a figurehead only. Same people behind the scenes hellbent on their liberal utopia…

I doubt the US voter will understand the Democrat and Biden policies as a problem. Enough voters are captured by the progressive left. No appreciable change will take place until there is a new president. The voters will not give the Republicans 60 votes in the Senate or dramatic majorities in the House.

Also, what if inflation is already set at 5% and will remain at 5% for the next 10 years unless we impose constraint on the money supply (higher interest rates and lower Fed purchases of Treasuries)? Does anyone really believe the American people will intentionally vote to limit the power of the Federal government? Are we willing to transfer all the BLM property to the states or private land owners? Auction off subsurface mineral rights?

No. we will continue along this on again off again political game of encouraging lower energy prices. The American voter will not get serious about the concept of liberty and American exceptionalism and thus we will let the progressive left push us further to the world of tyranny.

Their policies are killing the farmers and ranchers. Just how many electric tractors do you see. Thousands of products that you use every day are made from petroleum. Fertilizer is made from natural gas. No one seems to want to address the fact of where most of our electricity is generated from natural gas and coal. I could go on and on. Come on man. Biden and this administration is just so out of touch with the American people it makes my head explode.

We are governed by moronic idiots who were voted in and supported by moronic idiots. When someone tells you who they are and what they’re going to do believe them.

You know somewhere the crooked Biden’s are making money from this economic catastrophe too.

They are so full of crap. Biden owns this and no one else.
