Title: Taxpayer Money for Electric Car Charging Stations
Topic: Electric Cars
Discussed by Tom Pyle
with Institute for Energy Research (www.InstituteForEnergy.com)
In Texas, we like our trucks and SUV’s. Most Texans
don’t like those tiny smart cars or other electric cars. If you do, then great!
But it was your choice to buy that car, wasn’t it? You were able to choose that
smart car over a truck.
But, what if the government forced you to buy a certain car? Tom Pyle is with
the American Energy Alliance. They recently conducted a survey
examining voter’s response to transportation policy. First, most respondents do
not believe that high wage earners should receive a
credit for buying an electric vehicle. In fact, the majority believe that the
government shouldn’t be involved at all!
Case in point… Some elected officials want all taxpayers to help fund and pay
for electric car charging stations. Tom reveals that respondents don’t want to
bear the cost. They also do not want a mandate or subsidy regarding what types
of vehicles we can buy. “If electric cars made economic sense, they wouldn’t
be subsidized,” Tom points out.
Government is already too involved with other aspects of our lives. We need to
keep what type of vehicle we drive our own choice and privilege. Check out their
website linked above to learn more information.
