That's fine for them. They don't actually give a shit about the internal combustion engine or its emissions. What they really want is for you to be unable to travel freely. So banning "fossil" fuels and then skyrocketing the price of electric alternatives is 100% ideal.
The entire purpose of forcing everyone towards public transit is they they can ban you from it.
And (((they))) can remotely disable your clown car anytime
Agreed with the public transit bit, but there's nothing inherent to electricity as a transportation fuel that makes it easier for the government to control your travels.
The point was the fuel type is inconsequential to their unstated actual objective to remove your ability to acquire and maintain a personal conveyance.
They're taking a different approach in California. California is famous for its traffic. Voters consistently vote for anything with any hope of reducing congestion. The Democrats take transportation dollars the public voted to use for reducing congestion and they use it TO REMOVE TRAFFIC LANES FROM MAJOR STREETS. They want to encourage congestion to make traffic "safer" for pedestrians and bicyclists and to "encourage" public transportation.
No, except that it requires infrastructure that doesn't yet exist, particularly in the rural west. They can obviously shut down gas shipments any time already. But if they force the switch to electric all they have to do is just not install the charging infrastructure in the first place.
They have to take out power to everywhere for that to work. You can charge from any standard 120V outlet.
