It seems to me that, in this country in the last two years, we have had extreme changes, and not for our betterment.
On electric cars, our government put the cart before the horse. The structure of power grids should have been in place before they started pushing for electric cars. If we think there are not going to be further power outages for regions, we are kidding ourselves. One good example is the recent outage in Wildwood, N.J. — the height of the tourist season and no power. This is just the beginning. More and more electric cars are being sold, and they require electricity to run, so they are taking power from a source that supplies our everyday living.
Another thing is that, when these cars are demolished in accidents, and they wear out, what happens? They go to our junkyards. Will all those batteries sit for years, deteriorating? What is the positive side here? Nothing but pollution, which was the very thing we were trying to correct in the first place.
We can thank our present administration for being so thoughtful of us. God help us all!
