The democrat/Left want to make cars running on fossil fuel to be so expensive, that everyone in the U.S. will be forced to electric cars, wind and solar power.
All of which don't work as reliably, and are as great of polluters or worse than fossil fuels are.
And all the minerals and manufacturing are produced by slave labor in China, and would make us all dependent on China, if we switch to those "green" energy systems.

Rep Massie (R-LA) in hearings with secretary Pete Buttegeig, made the point that one electric car being charged in your garage nightly uses the same power as 20 refrigerators, or 4 home central air conditioners. Buttegeig (as usual) just sat there looking stupid, having no answers, no understanding of the energy infrastructure he is in charge of. All he knows is leftist ideology, that has no capacity to solve the problems his "green" policy will cause. The car charging in your garage is charged with electricity from energy created by giant electric turbines... generated from tens of thousands of gallons of fossil fuel. FROM OIL. If you have millions of cars charging in garages in a metropolitan area every night, you're going to need a lot more electrical turbines generating electricity from oil, not less.

It's all a shell game.

Likewise, the minerals mined to create batteries, windmills, and solar panels are created by children and slave labor, who are poisoned by the chemicals they work in.
And by using these completed products from China, we are supporting slavery.
AND when these products wear out, as everything does, and they are thrown away, they actually create more pollution than the fossil fuels that are demonized.
Again: It's all a shell game.
