The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger vehicles would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today.

Just start doing it now and eventually things will have converted. It may take a while, but it will happen eventually if you do it consistently.
But there are too many contrarian Americans out there who’ll take inconvenience over logic just because it “the American way” or “America is special.” Have several of those people in my extended family.
I’m never going to be on the side of Hamas, but there’s no need to make a mockery of something that will surely involves civilian casualties. Shame on her.
Definitely a thing in the US. People spend lots of money to have chemicals poured onto their lawns every year, summer and winter, to keep the weeds away. All of those chemicals have to go somewhere. Probably the groundwater and streams and other bodies of water. Not good.
Go look up the debates between Biden and Trump from the 2020 campaign. Biden literally had to ask Trump to “shut up” on stage. The Cheeto-dusted dipshit literally could not stop interrupting. How embarrassing.
With the billionaires backing him, it’s going to be on us as individual Americans to make sure Trump doesn’t end up in the White House again. That means not just voting but talking with people around you, volunteering and donating
McConnell spent his entire political career focusing on the Supreme Court above all else. The current conservative majority is his masterpiece, one that will affect American life for decades to come. He did that while his opponent were bickering about the smaller stuff.
It will take decades to change back, but get out there and vote whenever you can.
President Joe Biden is taking fresh steps to help keep gas prices from climbing. For Republicans to see this as “disgusting” and “disgraceful” is bizarre.
viewpoints like that are harmful towards the working class
News flash: The working class in most of Europe is doing much better than the working class in the US. And that’s with much higher gas prices and higher taxes.
They also drive more EVs and have a heck of a lot higher quality public transportation.
As someone who has lived in Europe for more than two decades, I can tell you that most rural zones in the EU do not lack public transportation. EVs become cheaper when it’s the norm. Lmao
Oil should be made obsolete. Everyone knows it, not everyone will admit it. And one efficient way to do that is by making it more expensive to use oil-based products. We have a climate and a planet in dire trouble, my friend. We need to find more alternatives, and EVs are a great alternative. But you coal-rollers can’t seem to get past your lame-ass trucks and V6s. How ignorant.
You keep saying that I think oil should be more expensive in Europe. Not once did I say that. Not once. I said gas should be more expensive in the US like in Europe to get off the oil dependency.
Definitely agree. But there are a lot people in the US who have been conditioned to whine about “communist public transportation” every time it’s brought up, so it never really happens. EVs are a good middle ground to get many of these people onboard with more environmentally friendly transportation.
Guns are specifically designed to kill people as quickly and efficiently as possible and at great distance. Take that tool away and you put some serious limits on the will to kill.
Go read the person’s comments. I think most will agree that their behavior is dumb in every sense of the word. They need to know that. Not that anything will change, but at least they’ve been called out.
