After investing billions to adhere to President Joe Biden’s green energy agenda, General Motors (GM) is backtracking on all fronts when it comes to Electric Vehicles (EVs).

As GM was the last of the Big Three to strike a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW), the automaker’s green energy dreams — championed by the Biden administration — have come crumbling down.

GM CEO Mary Barra, a close ally of Biden’s, has said the automaker will not begin to attempt to produce 400,000 EVs from 2022 through mid-2024 as initially planned. GM is also delaying retooling its plant in Orion Township, Michigan, to build EV pickup trucks.

The American public is not ready for the broad adoption of electric vehicles. There are maybe 10 percent to 12 percent of people who really want an electric vehicle to be limited to a 250 mi driving range, several hours wait to fill up the tank, limited filling stations, the certainly of a $10-20k repair bill plus hazmat disposal fee after 8 years, the inability to escape a natural disaster via congested roadways, the prospect of freezing to death in a wintertime roadside emergency, and the documented risk of a fiery death in my sleep from a battery fire in my garage.

The toxic strip mining, hazardous waste disposal at the end of life, and the 3rd world slave labor are just bonuses to the piss poor product.
