So you think it would be safe for you to drink a gallon of oil per day?

I wish he would drink it but he's just pushing the Alt-Right agenda. Kinda like the JPP RWNJs who advocate overthrowing the US government but never leave their "home"/facility/basement/etc.
You are a shining example of why so many understand why lefties are loonies.
Thank you Mr. Tiny Penis but I will continue to exist just to keep you in your place.

You are a target rich environment.
Go for it, son. I enjoy seeing you try to measure up with other-people's memes. It keeps proving I'm right about you. LOL

FWIW, I think Mega Fox was prettier before all the plastic surgery.
With no infrastructure to handle it, not enough energy sources to supply it, etc. The only thing "easy" here is you and those who thanked you are stupid.
No infrastructure. Is that what you believe. You are really a fine example of right wing stupidity. You guys think like that in the face of all the evidence against it. You really can convince yourself of anything you want.
It’s coming! According to NBC News, Build Back Better proposes the building of 50,000 EV charging stations across the U.S. as part of the PResident's plan to address greenhouse gas emissions. The bill originally proposed $15 billion for the massive project, but that amount has already been cut in half to $7.5 billion.Feb 15, 2022

Reality that will come to everyone including the Brandon administration.
Shit is getting real.

The EV battery shortage is about to hurt more than pinching your finger in a car door.
RJ Scaringe, CEO of EV startup Rivian, told reporters on a tour of the company’s Illinois plant last week that the recent semiconductor shortage hampering the auto industry is just a “small appetizer to what we are about to feel on battery cells over the next two decades.” And with EV manufacturers’ lofty production goals, every part of the supply chain is struggling to keep up.
The biggest hiccup starts at the very beginning
We’re talking raw materials. 80% of the cost of a lithium-ion battery comes from raw materials including lithium (duh), cobalt, and nickel. But as companies scramble to snag those supplies, prices have skyrocketed. The price of lithium alone has gone up over 480% in the last year, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said lithium battery prices were so “insane” he might just get into mining himself. You and us both, buddy.
And because lithium-ion batteries account for at least 30% of the cost of an EV, higher battery prices are translating to higher prices for consumers. Both Rivian and Tesla have hiked prices recently, saying expensive raw materials are partly to blame.
And those materials are not Made in the USA
In 2020, the US imported over half of its supply of 46 minerals and all its supply of 17, according to the US Geological Survey. One of the biggest suppliers is China—the world leader in lithium-ion battery manufacturing—which has a history of restricting trade for political reasons.
That’s enough to spook the White House, which considers the EV supply chain to be a national security issue. Last month, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act, which gives the government access to $750 million to invest in domestic mining operations for critical raw materials needed by battery manufacturers. But it could take up to a decade to see new US mining projects or battery plants.
Zoom out: President Biden’s goal is for half of all new cars sold by 2030 to be electric. But given the shortage of materials, that’s like asking MasterChef contestants to make a meal with two footballs and a single noodle. According to Rivian’s Scaringe, “90% to 95% of the supply chain does not exist.”—MM

EVs are comparable in price to ICEs. That is just a fact. Then you immediately start saving money on petrol and maintenance.
Yes. NO INFRASTRUCTURE you uneducated fucking democrat. NONE. Feel free to prove me wrong asshole. I will wait.
Clearly you don't know what the word NO means.
While one could argue there is not enough infrastructure. One would have to be a complete idiot to argue NO infrastructure.

Which is all that matters. Go back to sucking dick for a sandwich welfare boy.
Sailor does not care about the truth. He thinks he has figured it out. However, we have committed to EVs and the infrastructure. He is unable to understand the facts that disprove his simple preconceptions. Are people honestly too stupid to understand they are the future? I know Sailor and nearly retarded GFM are proud of their stubborn ignorance. But it is still coming. The government is gearing up for it and so are the manufacturers. That is simply the reality.
