  2.  Andrea Silvio  39,350,000 people are going to be heartbroken. I’m sure that they will reconsider their energy policy upon hearing your decision.

  3.  @cherokeegirl5908  and gasoline stations were a few hundred years ago. The world changes. Our nation changes. We change.

  4.  @Cupid-Stunt  I can always count on you to point out important things. Let me add to that. For all you people screaming that you want to keep your gasoline powered cars, I’m old enough to remember the OPEC embargo in the 70s. If you want to remain beholden to Arab countries for your energy needs, keep whining about electric vehicles. If you would rather get on your knees in front of Arab kings and suck on their pipeline to keep your car fueled, you don’t get it and you never will.

  5.  @skatetoexplorevideos2477  Time to move closer to work, or move work closer to home. Commuting 110 miles every day sounds very unplesant.

  6. Shop Nissan. They start at $27,500

  7.  @derek_3054  oh I’m sorry, am I just supposed to agree with everything? Did the original commentor mean he hates anything that remotely smells like a democratic idea and I should’ve just assumed he didn’t want to know how much an electric car costs?

  8.  Andrea Silvio  good for you! It just blows my mind that conservatives think that their individual decision has an impact on the fifth largest economy on this planet.

  9.  @tylert3709  Son, it already sucks to be poor. You ain’t telling us anything new.

  10. This guy says the purchase price of electric cars are high? Nissan has one for $27,500. Chevy for under $35k. Ford for $39,990. Kia and Hyundia both under $36,000.

  11. I am old enough to remember all the complaining when CARB rolled out stringent pollution limits, and the auto manufacturers raised hell. You could not see the Hollywood sign for all the polutants. But look what that brought us to? You can pick up a new Corvette for $85k with 490 HP, and easily get 21-22 MPG on the highway. If you lived through the terrible cars of the late 70's and 80's like I did, you know what my point is. Things will improve.

  12.  @ifloridawarriorcatfan9918  I assume you have not read the Inflation Reduction Act. Massive renewable energy construction projects over the next 10 years.

  13. Texas has enough electricity?

  14. New Nissan EV starts at $27,800.

  15. Your car have seat belts? Air bags? Crumple zones? Rear view mirrors? Red tail lights? Yellow marker lights? The auto market has been "government managed" as you call it for 80 years. Please think before tossing out a comment.

  16. If you are buying a NEW car, yes. Nissan has one for $27,800. Buying used? get what you want.

  17. Seriously? How are they made NOW?

  18.  @roberthoppenrath5487  i’m sorry I assumed you were informed about the movement in California. You see, they are banning ICE engines that use fossil fuels. In case you did not know the petroleum used to make the plastic on the dash of an automobile did not go through an internal combustion engine. I thought that would be obvious but, now you know.
    1
  19.  @roberthoppenrath5487  again. California is not trying to eliminate oil wells. They are planning to ban internal combustion engines. Why do you equate banning internal combustion engines with banning plastics and rubber?
    1
  20.  @roberthoppenrath5487  am I understanding you correctly that the oil fields in Texas and Oklahoma are being closed by those governments? Louisiana? Offshore in the gulf?

  21.  @laurenfazenbaker9777  Is someone trying to keep you from moving around? Scary.

  22.  @TiercedePicardie826  if you buy low 30k cars, yes cheesy. The question was who could afford an electric vehicle. Try to pay attention.

  23.  @Xbox360mIRC  buy used.

  24.  @888strummer  if you can’t afford it, buy used. Spend within your means, right?

  25.  @Krusty-kl5ej  So the US could remain self-sufficient on its own oil reserves for decades? Tell me friend, how much are you paying for gasoline right now? Diesel?

  26.  @mikeweizer3149  Mike I don’t understand how you could be so poorly informed. Tell me friend, that big dam outside of Las Vegas. Do you think they’re using coal?
    1
  27.  @teachermom123  I fully understand that. But they are not significantly more expensive than gasoline powered new cars. That was my point. Fox News wanted to make it sound like they were out of reach for most people, and that is not true. Quite a few people buy Honda accords for 32 to $34,000.

  28.  @marktwain2053  Jesus Mark are you afraid of the S word or the actual implementation of government owned and controlled means of production? because the government has not seized the means of production for anything. That’s what should matter to you. Not your bloviating attempt to parse the meaning of Socialism. If that word scares you, toughen up snowflake. Focus on what’s really happening because that’s what really matters.

  29.  @temujinkhan6326  you and some other people have mentioned a meager supply of affordable electric vehicles in the market. If California banned the sale of new internal combustion engines, what do you think the auto manufacturers are going to do? Do you think they’re going to tell their shareholders we think we’re just gonna shrivel up and die, or do you think they’re gonna go wide-open producing effective affordable electric cars? you put a lot of effort into making a comment about the current conditions in the market. But you seem to not understand this plan for the future will lead to changes in our current conditions.

  30.  @rayah2782  I just can’t believe how many conservative Republicans don’t even know what a hydroelectric dam is. They don’t even know what wind turbines are. They have no idea that sunlight can be used to produce electricity. It’s stunning how incompetent some citizens are.
    1
  31.  @ArtieArchives  sorry to hear that. But you’ve misunderstood. A $27,000 electric car costs no more and no less than a $27,000 gasoline car.
    1
  32.  @wolfmantroy6601  yeah, there are many problems with electric cars currently. The smart people already know that and are working on improving the technology. still other people think it’s a stroke of genius to mention the problems the smart people already know about, and are already working on.
    1
  33.  @Xbox360mIRC  I think so, but I don’t recommend buying an electric vehicle for $5000. If that’s your budget, stick with gasoline powered used cars. They’re banning the sale of new internal combustion engines. They’re not kicking every gasoline powered car into the ocean on the deadline.

  34.  @mikeweizer3149  Jesus Mike. Have you seen those tall metal towers stretching across the countryside? The ones with the cables strung between them? They are called power transmission lines, and they can move electricity across hundreds of miles. they can and currently do that, and they have been doing that for nearly 100 years.

  35.  @SoloRenegade  what means of production did the government seize? You said it was Socialism so please share with us.

  36.  @honeyd8436  what happens when you run out of gasoline? I mean, it’s going to be inconvenient as hell, but running out of fuel is like that. No matter what type of fuel you were using. Plan ahead, and don’t run out.

  40.  @johnbender4476  Bender, were you thinking that this was a discussion about making new cars cost $2,000? Because this is not that discussion.

  41.  @rkm5369  Did you know there's a dam outside Los Vegas? Do you know what that dam produces? 2,300 hydro-electric dams are ALREADY producing electricity you currently use. How can any American not know this?

  42.  @danven1256  If you can't finance a $35,000 electric car, you can't finance a $35,000 gasoline car. Buy used.

  43.  @charlesprice7608  Take your ICE? Charles you sound really frightened. No one that I know of is coming to take your vehicles. If you live in California, you won't be able to buy NEW ones powered by petrol. Stop being so scared.

  46.  @jeffschmeganheiman  And Chevrolet alone has two new EV coming to market soon. Models get dropped, new models get added. It has been that way for ever. Surprised you didn't know that.

  47.  @temujinkhan6326  Can't afford a $27,000 car? I feel you. Vote for changes that put less money in the pockets of billionaires, and more in the pocket of working class people.

  48.  @temujinkhan6326  Did you say "...forcing the market to change overnight..."? This change starts in 2026, and progressively increases through 2035. Do you realize that the year 2035 is more than 12 years away??? We invented the technology and rockets to go to the moon in less time.

  49.  @ritasplace1  "...THE BATTERIES COME FROM CHINA." You would be so much more effective in debates if you would read legislation before you type. Those things will be coming from inside the US in the next few years. Read Part 5 of the Inflation Reduction Act.

  50.  @rayah2782  "...people who live in extremely cold weather will constantly have dead batteries." Not a lot of people in California will be affected by extreme cold.

  54.  @jacobw446  possibly so. it seems to me that it might be in your best interest to start learning how to work on electric vehicles. You know there are going to be challenges just like with gasoline automobiles.

  60. Progress and change can be frighting, I know. And by nature conservatives want to keep things as they were. But progress is not always bad. Doing away with horse and buggy transportation, moving commercial aviation from piston to turbo-fan engines, going from wall mounted phones to cell phones, giving women the right to vote, giving people of color the right to vote, letting citizens use birth control if they want, ALL of these are examples of progress. Scary at first, but better in the long run.

  67.  @DemonSlayer-df4ym  If you can't afford a $27,000 GASOLINE auto, you can't afford a $27,000 ELECTRIC auto. Stick with the used market...

  68.  @johnc.9133  Yep. I agree. Does anyone want to call me out?
    1
  69.  @DemonSlayer-df4ym  I certainly respect your decision, and the truth is you will probably be able to buy used gasoline powered vehicles in California for many many years. A long time ago cars were sold with tool kits included. You knew the spark plugs were going to take a crap on you at some point, maybe in the middle of nowhere. The unending march of technology has us driving 100,000 miles on the original spark plugs. What you say today will be out of date in 3 to 6 months. And drastically out of date in four years. Our technology marches forward.

  70. Ray, can you clarify? This is the part I have a question about: "...violation of the interstate commerce clause, which expressly denies States from restricting commerce from other States." So if someone from a state that allows late-term abortion goes to a state that does not, that state has to permit the late term abortion as long as there is money changing hands?

  71. They need to make sure the Fox employee controls the narrative. Did you see Alan Dershowitz and Karl Rove go off script and say Trump was in big trouble? Fox's host looked like they were going to be beaten with a chain after the cameras stopped rolling.

  75.  @jp3711nc1  my recommendation is to buy low mileage used vehicles. They’re not banning every single internal combustion engine, they’re banning the sale of NEW ones. You’ll have 10 or 15 years where used gasoline powered cars are still available. There will also be a lot more low mileage used electric vehicles available on the market.

  76.  @wulfhere83  I have to disagree with you on your statement that no one is against green energy. A significant part of the population does not want to stop driving internal combustion engines. Ever.

  77.  @brianshook3289  Brian you ask what’s going to happen when we dig up the minerals and elements needed to make batteries. Do you know anything about our neighboring planet named Venus? Do you know what runaway greenhouse effect means?
