Better use em while you can
Just a matter of time before this bs popped up
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is moving Democrats' climate talk to where the rubber meets the road, proposing a $462 billion trade-in program to get millions of Americans out of climate-damaging gas vehicles and into electric or hybrid cars over the next decade.

"The New York Democrat's plan would give American car buyers thousands of dollars each to trade in gas-burning cars for U.S.-assembled electric, hybrid or hydrogen cell cars."
I don't see anything about mandatory confiscation in there...

Dont be surprised if you see one hell of a use tax on your registration to use one. Little by little our choices are being taken away.

What people fail to grasp is that making something new is FAR more ecologically damaging than not making something new and it being slightly less efficient.
Moreover, you still gotta make power for those EVs. And you know what's gonna power them? COAL.

Where'd you read that they're going to take away your car and force you to buy a new one? This is what was reported in the linked article:
"The New York Democrat's plan would give American car buyers thousands of dollars each to trade in gas-burning cars for U.S.-assembled electric, hybrid or hydrogen cell cars."
I don't see anything about mandatory confiscation in there...

The subject here is the infamous Global Warming or Climate Change issue. Whether you believe in it or not, It's a predicament the world is facing and eventually will be forced to deal with either now or in a few years. Our cars and the fuel they burn pollute, simple as that. Some pollute much more than others. Do you want to continue having older polluting cars on the road, or do you want to breathe and live a healthy life? I'm for a moderate conversion to hybrid, electric, and hydrogen vehicles to eventually make up the majority of car manufacturer's lineups. I'm in my late 50s and would like to have a clean planet with air I can't chew on and taste. I know this issue is controversial now, but eventually important for everyone. Actually, over the next 10 years the older cars on the road will usually diminish on their own (except for collector, sport, and muscle cars) and will be replaced with newer less polluting engine technology anyway. Don't force us with legally registered Corvettes to participate in a trade-in program, but offer great incentives for those who do!

Maybe it will get some of the wore out smoking **** off the road, just like "cash for clunkers". Gasoline isn't going away. Corporations crushing cars for credits is worse. There has been commitment of the auto manufacturers to hybrid and electric over the next 5 years. So most of it will go to normal car replacement deals. It's could be a good deal depending how old vehicle could can be. You have a wore out 8 year old vehicle, program might get you in something new

Honestly, I am probably one of the most uneducated people on here. I don't see how gas powered cars hurt the planet. Nor do I really care. So what's next, we all gotta go vegan?

Something much bigger is happening. Much concern over the magnetic pole moving rapidly due east, measurable earth wobble and moon phases are out of wack. No one is paying attention except for a few....
