"Teach 'em to code..."

The automotive industry is only reacting to continued regulations and threats from the government as far as emissions and fuel mileage goes. The government wants to transition us to green energy and they have been talking about it for years. They have been threatening to shut down any fossil fuel usage or production here also. In the meantime, after they shut it down we will still need it here until we are totally green they will go back to buying what we need from foreign countries that do not like us in the first place and prices will go up.

thats pretty global. in most western counties they are moving that way. uk, France, etc. not just here not by a long shot. the world does not revolvr around our politics as much as we want to think it does.

Marks right. The point I was trying to make was our energy usage and means of production doesn't amount to a hill of beans to the rest of the world.

So, the global push is about making money. As is most things in life. Business follows the funding.

Being surreptitiously facetious, I think I was told to shut up 🤪

I'll believe that the Government is committing to Green energy when I see electric tanks and Humvees 🙄

This thread is a decent example of why politics are a waste of time on forums.

We should all stick to enjoying two strokes and set aside our differences for a bit. A little break from the BS could do us all some good.

Focusing on the one thing we all have in common is generally better than calling out our differences.
