Am I going to get an electric car?

Nah, I'm not going to do that.

But it turns out I'm not alone, a bunch of other people don't want to get electric cars as well.

And we're going to talk about that today here on the Council of Trent Podcast.

I'm your host, Trent Horn.

Mondays and Wednesdays we talk

apologetics and theology but Friday we talk about whatever I want to talk about.

And today I just want to talk about electric cars and the dream of the electrified automobile being deployed

widespread is not happening as fast as environmental activists would like.

So there's different reasons that people might want to have an

electric car. I mean I understand the convenience behind it. In fact for some of my commute in fact my commute is

I don't have a commute really. My office is only about five minutes away from my house.

So of all the people who could use an electric car, I could really use an electric car.

But I don't really feel like getting one because I have a car that's reliable, gets me from

point A to point B, and I don't need anything else until that car gets stuck at point A and won't turn on anymore. But a lot of people who want

electric cars, there is, I mean the big contingent right now, especially among the government

passing regulations related to it, is to combat climate change.

You know, people are worried about increased, you know, CO2 gases, greenhouse gases, climate change, automobiles are a source of that. And so you have the government, federal and

at certain state levels passing these laws like California is saying that

they're not going to allow the sale of gas automobiles in the state after 2035.

And the Biden administration wanting to have 30, 50 percent of all new sales to have targeted benchmarks like by the year 2030, 2035, 2040.

I love by the way when presidents and governors set goals for things beyond their own terms so they can't be held liable
