Destroying the Personal Automobile - In The Tank LIVE, ep361
The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 361 of the In The Tank Podcast. Following California's lead, several other states have signed on to a plan to ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. Similar plans have been proposed in the U.K. and elsewhere. While the plan aims to replace these vehicles with an electric option, the ITT crew questions whether this is part of a larger plan to completely destroy the idea of a personal automobile. Also, in response to Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, China has announced they are suspending cooperation the world in the fight against climate change.
