I despise politics (groups dictating what individuals must do with their resources) and religious dogma (groupthink), which is why I point out examples of the absurdity and dysfunction these institutions create. My comments are the opposite of politics and religion (odd coming from a theist).

EVs may play a significant role in resource conservation and limiting CO2 emissions as well as toxic pollutants, but the way to know if they are the optimal solution isn't to dictate them, but to challenge them to compete with all other alternatives.

When big government tries to micromanage tiny details of design, they end up creating unintended negative consequences and loopholes that undermine the intended result at best, or cause the exact opposite intended result.
