INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO):  The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced the next step in the state’s electric vehicle (EV) implementation plan.  INDOT officials announced that the Hoosier State will receive National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure funds to place EV charging stations in designated “alternative fuel corridors” on the interstate. According to our partners in news at ABC21, INDOT will receive about $15 million this year and expects to spend about $100 million over the next five years on EV charging infrastructure. The funding is part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which will also send $2.5 billion in grants to state and local governments across the country.

Once again the boondoggle of electric vehicles has to receive government funds to work. The green weenie system is not economically viable. It is not viable without an infusion of taxpayer’s money. Those who use gasoline/diesel powered vehicles pay for all the infrastructure by the price they pay at the pump. If EV’s are viable why does the government have to offer such incentives??? Why are there incentives for EV’s produced by the union labor automakers but not for Tesla’s? Why are we allowing our government to pick the losers?? I say that because government is not capable of picking winners. They only pick whoever gets the most attention regardless of how many advocating a certain policy there are. Why do we let political fools and buffoons tinker with our economy for a fraud idea like climate change. The climate has been changing for as long as there has been a climate surrounding this planet. The SUN controls our climate not man. EV’s might make sense for large metropolitan areas. But in our area/state there is way too much open land for it to make sense. To get 300-350 miles range it takes an 8-hour charge. My vehicles will go 400 on a tank of 18-gallons. Then a refill for another 400 miles takes a mere 10-minutes or less. You had better think long and hard before you let government manipulate your liberty for a false premise. This inflation and the high price of gas is the fault of all those who voted for or cheated for Dopey King Xo the Idiot of Brandonville. Here is some homework: Take a look at what happened after WWI in Germany. It is called the Wiemar Republic. Inflation was so bad workers were paid three times a day so they could spend their pay during the day before they were priced out of the marketplace. It took a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread. Some years ago the items that we used to consider to determine inflation was changed. Many staples were removed. Real inflation is probably twice the reported number. And you want to trust these goons to tell you what and how to drive. Soon it will be where you can drive or go. How will yo get your God-Given Constitutionally guaranteed liberty back then. We had a taste of this during the Covid political science scamdemic. The US Senate is about to install the next Supreme Court Justice that does not believe in the Natural Rights that has provided the liberty this country has enjoyed low these 200-plus years. Remember when you cannot go anywhere without government permission: I TOLD YOU SO! You have been warned!
