As always, it’s all about power and control. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Why are they pushing EVs so aggressively?
The “climate crisis” stuff is the excuse, of course. But what is the reason? Well, it’s fundamentally the same reason behind the failed push to get everyone “vaccinated” – which was really a push to set a precedent that would inevitably be expanded, as always happens when precedents are set (as for example when the precedent was set that forcing the car companies to install seat belts in cars led to the government forcing people to wear them).
If the government had been able to establish the precedent that it had the legitimate authority to force everyone to take a drug then it could – and inevitably would – force everyone to take other drugs. And – via this method – exert total control over people’s increasingly defunct right to engage in commerce, move about freely and even freely associate with others. (The latter right has been largely defunct since the “civil rights” legislation of the 1960s set the precedent that people must associate with one another; a subject for another time.)
