Political Quotes

“President Biden's latest effort to push electronic vehicle mandates for truck usage is completely nonsensical. Thanks to current administrative policy, we do not have the capability to implement the massive grid expansion needed to support the electrification of heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles consume about the same amount of electricity in just one charge as a typical American home uses in a week. The industry would need to invest upwards of $620 billion in charging infrastructure alone. Then there is the question of where would the electricity come from. The administration has famously prosecuted its war on fossil fuels, nuclear, and hydropower generation. It is even impossible for wind and solar facilities to produce domestically because restrictions the administration has placed on American mining means the needed raw materials have to come from foreign adversaries. It is China that dominates the supply chain. Mr. Speaker, the President needs to look at the facts and stop prioritizing irresponsible energy ideology over Americans. ____________________”
