It’s all fun and games with these goofy electric vehicles until the next thing you know there’s no more toilet paper. Or medicine. Or food.
In its ongoing effort to destroy just about everything, the Biden administration is now cracking down on the trucking industry.
Let that sink in for a moment.
In new emission standards, the Environmental Protection Agency is not only targeting internal combustion automobiles but is also going after trucks.
And just about everything that arrives at your home and business comes by truck. What could go wrong?
For starters, the power grid is inadequate, and electric vehicles are expensive, often impractical, unreliable in distance running, costly to maintain, and dependent on our friends the Chinese for their battery supplies.
Todd Spencer, president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, is concerned.
“It’s one thing if you’re talking about doing this on an automobile,” Spencer told Fox News. “If you don’t get where you’re needing to go quite as quickly as you could, it’s no big deal. There’s no ramifications, generally, beyond you.
“But for truckers, it can mean that they don’t make deliveries, that the goods that they’re transporting don’t get where they’re needing to go, and certainly in many instances people really need to have the stuff that trucks bring,” he said.
Truckers have found that EPA regulations tend not to be practical when applied to the real world, according to Spencer. They “significantly” increase the costs of operations and equipment and often compromise truck reliability.
“If your battery goes down in the middle of a windstorm, a snowstorm, a flood, a hurricane, there are no simple solutions,” Spencer said, “and there may not be any remedies available.
“So we have to make certain things like that don’t — can’t — happen. And I mean, if they can, our total transportation system can shut down when it’s most urgently needed,” he continued.
