Green new deal or UN Agenda 2030

The same outcome GM has bet the company on with the announced plan to move to all electric by 2024.

Specifically who? The Taxpayer.

With some added/modified verbiage, the sticker already exists to protect Californians from them selves.

This was on the driver's door glass of a car I recently purchased from a San Jose franchised dealer.

Default Piped in Muscle

In 15 years I’ll be 81 and won’t care.

So in a EV will there be an app to pipe in the sound of a rumbling exhaust thru the stereo like my current Muscle cars have ?

Chris.

My great grandpappy never got over putting his trusty horse out to pasture but he sure did learn to love his Model T.

Never noticed an increase in our electric bill. Turn on one of the two commercial a/c units on the roof just for a couple days, and it pops us up to the next tier of electric use.

We have two BMW i3's and I would never go back to gas if I had to pick.

I've been driving my wife's i3 while she's in Ohio, and I'm now hooked. I drive it full bore 80% of the time.
Because it's green, I feel privileged to speed. If you steer the car using the crazy amount of torque, it's a blast. Most of the car is made of carbon fiber and weighs in at 2900 lbs.

I paid $9,200 for my daughter's i3, with under 60,000 miles. High tech car, with side, front, and back sensors, along with one pedal driving. Great for a first time driver like my daughter here in S.Ca.

I am 35 minutes northwest of Columbus Ohio. We have been getting letters from companies wanting to put solar panels on our fields. Some farmers have shown interest, I am sure my dad would never do it. It does pay good from what I have heard but so far they are just wanting to lock up ground in case they decided to build.
This would be needed for the Green deal to work, but you should hear the back lash from non farmers who dont want to lose being able to see farm ground. There are already groups forming to find a way to keep this from happening by zoning or other ways.
The problem is for those that would not lease for solar panels, there were be even more competition for what ground is left and that will just raise costs. It really doesnt look good for any of us
