This reminds me of when Reagan removed the solar panels from the White House that Jimmy Carter had put up, and rather quickly cancelled all the energy conservation research grants that had been part of the early move away from dependence on nuclear energy (the perceived end-of-time threat of the era). Set back advances in energy alternatives and alternative technology for a generation.
Full disclosure: My wife and I just bought a hybrid instead of an EV because the problems cited in the article. Maybe next time. Maybe...
The EV pick up truck owners I know are 100% ecstatic about their choice. It would be great if a lighter more affordable EV pick up was sold in the US too, as predicted. Canceling the Biden programs to electrify transportation makes it obvious that we’re being forced into a new Dark Age by Trump et al , not a new Gilded Age…The comparison with TVA is a good one.
I live at 6500 feet in the clean air of the Sierras. We are now visiting our kids and new grandson in Los Angeles. The air here sucks. The mandate to have electric cars by 2035 seems onerous, but in service of clean air - worth it. Disclosure - I own a 2022 Model Y with two "No Elon" stickers. The car is great, even if Musk is not.
"The Biden Administration did an poor job of advertising the wide promise of their modern electrification effort, and an even poorer job of defending it from bad-faith attack."
Like saying the Pacific Ocean has a lot of water.
The Biden Communications team should be rounded up and arrested for political malpractice. The administration passes the CHIPS act bringing critical microchip manufacturing invetment back to the US - good for good jobs and national security. Passes BiPartisan Infrastructure bill sparking investments of billions $$ in critcally needed and long overdue local infrastructure.
Passes IRA - really a giant climate action bill with some other good stuff - creating tens of thousands of good American jobs with domestic manufacturing of renewable energy components and scientific research.
Instead of showcasing and promoting these accomplishments with massive positive outcomes for job opportunities for non-college Americans, Anita Dunn and WH communications team did their best to keep them a secreat from the American people.
And when JB's time was at hand, dunn blasted former Speaker Pelosi. Insular isolated and arrogant - these people let down the President, their party and most importantly the American people now saddled with the guy there now.
Donilon, Dunn, Zients and company - you can include Psaki if you wish - should go the way of Robby Mook as arrogant incompetence personified
Deja vu all over again.

Thanks for ruining my morning.

If Biden invented Hot Cakes he couldn't sell them. Worlds worst salesman.
