The Biden administration, in its final days, appears intent on making a last-ditch effort to impose sweeping regulations that could greatly affect American consumers.
Reports indicate that President Joe Biden is set to approve California's initiative to ban the sales of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035.
This latest move reflects the administration's ongoing push for electric vehicles (EVs), despite the evident consumer resistance.
The demand for electric cars has plummeted, as observed in extensive dealership inventories that showcase vehicles languishing unsold.
Even with substantial federal and state incentives, many consumers remain unconvinced, with reports of electric cars being offered at significant discounts—some up to $20,000 off.
The average consumer simply isn't on board with the idea of being forced into an electric vehicle market that is not yet ready to meet their needs.
The infrastructural shortcomings are glaring. Charging stations remain scarce and often out of service, making the convenience of electric vehicles questionable compared to traditional gas stations.
Adding to the chaos is the rapid depreciation of EV batteries, raising concerns about long-term value.
Insiders in the Republican Party are voicing their concerns. California Representative Kevin Kiley has announced plans to combat these proposed bans, emphasizing that the government should not dictate consumer choice.
Such mandates only serve to alienate American families who are already grappling with inflated prices across various sectors.
Biden's push for electric vehicle dominance seems disconnected from the reality faced by average Americans.
With the 2024 elections looming, this kind of overreach could propel more voters to back candidates who promise to restore choice and common sense to American policy.
As the administration nears its conclusion, it raises a critical question: will the American people continue to tolerate these restrictive policies under the guise of progress?
The next few months will be telling, as conservatives are gearing up to fight for consumer rights and accountability in Washington.
