[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am a Republican and I am not in favor of anything being shoved in my face, I think I deserve the right to choose. I[b] see all electric, self driving cars as another means of control by the left[/b]. Not interested, over time I suspect electric cars will become the norm, and that is how it should be, over time. Not government mandated, it should be a result of freedom of choice. Also, I won't purchase anything made in CA until they come back from 
"crazy ville" and that may never happen[/quote]

How is this a means of control?

Are you OK with we [b]being dependent on foreign oil[/b], which requires us to fight expensive wars to maintain supply?[/quote]

I am sure you are aware that the US is a net exporter and very little foreign oil (mostly North Sea) is imported to produce gasoline.  Of course you knew that.  Just forgot.[/quote]

That is being reversed as we speak, thanks to the new administration.  What I am not okay with is EPA taking over the thought process of everything and their insane mental way of freaking out every time someone questions there direction or even motive.  Of course you are speaking as an environmentalist who things they have a total and absolute grasp on the future of this country and where we are heading.  I on the other hand see you, as many of my lib neighbors, as leaches who use these viewpoints to suck off of the tax payers.  Go away.[/quote]

DP and your rants seem quite incomprehensible and unhinged to me.

A.) Nobody is shoving Teslas in your face.  That comment makes no sense.
B.) Nobody has taken your choice away.
C.) No, there's no grand scheme to control you.  Tesla is a company, they make cars.  People buy their cars because they like them.  If you don't like them, fine, don't buy one.
D.) CA = 'crazy ville?'  Unhinged comment.  No further commentary needed there.
E.) EPA has not taken over anyone's  thought process.  Pollution is actually a real thing.  When people spew black smoke from their diesel powered 4x4s it actually does make people sick via PM2.5 particulates that are so fine they pass through the lung's membranes and go straight into your blood stream.
F.) You know who's sucking off of taxpayers?  Oil and gas companies that have pipelines that spill and poison rivers and farmers fields, coal companies and power plants that fill rivers with toxic coal ash sludge, et cetera - and it ends up being taxpayers bearing the cost of cleanup.  They privatize the profits but socialize the cost and risk.  So much for free market.
And by the way:
G.) The fossil fuel industry in the US has been subsidized for over 100 years.

Those are realities.  And they won't "go away."[/quote]
