The EPA is lying to Americans with false claims about how their manipulation of the market to boost EVs will help American energy security. In reality, this is a Trojan horse. To meet these timelines will mean strengthening our reliance on minerals and technologies controlled by the Chinese. Taken in concert with the clear violation of the IRA to undermine provisions that would actually secure these supply chains, this Administration is taking steps that will only result in a more energy secure and powerful China. I don’t believe that making progress on climate change should come at the expense of our national and energy security. I fully support Congress overturning these dangerous EPA regulations.
And how are things going at Ford anyway?  This confirms what ‘conspiracy theorists already know:
In September 2021, Ford said it was pouring $11 billion into electric vehicle production, according to NBC News.
The report said Ford was planning to spend the money on constructing plants in Tennessee and Kentucky while also hiring 11,000 workers:
Meanwhile, Ford announced in March its electric vehicle unit called ‘Ford Model e’ is bleeding billions of dollars and is expected to lose more this year, according to Breitbart News.
Wait a minute:  I thought Ford was hiring?
More layoffs are coming at Ford Motor in the coming weeks.
The layoffs will mostly be among U.S. salaried workers, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The upcoming move by the automaker is part of a continuing effort to streamline operations and reduce costs.
The layoffs will be announced as early as next week.
The number of workers involved could not be immediately determined.
I bet they’re just firing people building gas-powered vehicles:
The cuts are reportedly expected to affect Ford’s gas-engine side of the business, as well as its electric-vehicle and software division, The Journal reported.
Oh.  But I’m sure all of this is designed to benefit American workers, consumers, and America, right?  Right?
