Summary
The Biden administration thinks they are encouraging the American people to buy electric cars with tax incentives. However only 4% of Americans own electric cars and only 12% are considering buying one, according to a recent Gallup poll. From electric cars to household appliances, like gas stoves and air conditioners, the Biden administration is putting restrictive regulations on everything. Newt’s guest is Ben Lieberman, Senior Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and former senior counsel for the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

| 0:00.0 | On this episode of Neuts World, the summer Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm set out |
| 0:10.7 | on a four-day electric vehicle trip from Charlotte, North Carolina to Memphis, Tennessee, |
| 0:16.4 | in an effort to draw attention to the billions of dollars the Biden administration is putting |
| 0:20.8 | into green energy and clean cars. |

| 1:05.0 | doing amazing things by pouring money in at the very top and then pushing the rest of |
| 1:10.2 | America into buying EV cars when no charges are publicly available, a point by the way, |
