Consumers in the Backseat
As a Harris/Walz administration destroys new jobs, taxpayers will be asked to pay for the damage, predicts Roger Kimball in American Greatness.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s new emissions rules, as reported by the WSJ, will effectively “require companies to produce one to two electric trucks for every gas-powered truck as soon as 2027 and nearly four to one by 2032.”
California’s mandates are even more aggressive and will ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.
Some 15 states have adopted California’s EV quotas, including Minnesota, where Gov. Tim Walz imposed them over strong opposition from his state’s auto dealers. Kamala Harris also supported banning new gas-powered cars nationwide by 2035 when she ran for President in 2019. Does she still? Will anyone ask?
Evidence Suggests Otherwise
Democrats continue to claim their green-energy transition will create millions of jobs, dubious as that sounds. Where is the evidence? So far, reports the WSJ, it suggests otherwise.
The reality is that government will end up supporting workers who lose their jobs and can’t find other work, which is why Democrats are pushing to expand the welfare state.
