ZEV Subsidies Fail Equity, Economics, and Environmental Tests
/in Environment, Featured, Liberty, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Duggan Flanakin Many have been saying for years that subsidies for zero-emissions (electric) vehicles [ZEV] pose unfair burdens on working Americans. Subsidizing (and mandating) an unwanted switch away from internal combustion vehicles (ICVs) while imposing diktats that have brought higher gasoline prices and record inflation also seems out of kilter with the widely championed tenet […]

Electric Cars vs. Gas Cars: Is the Conventional Wisdom Wrong?
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Taxes /by DrRichSwier.comBy Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) What rings true intuitively isn’t always backed up by the numbers.
