Commentary: We don’t need a costly, government-mandated detour to electric cars

With gas prices nearing $5 per gallon nearly everywhere, you’d think the Left would be a little more careful “saying the quiet part out loud.”

Take Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan. After she bought a new electric vehicle (EV) — which costs close to $60,000 on average — she bragged that on a recent trip to Washington she “went by every single gas station and it didn’t matter how high (the price of gas) was.” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, back when gasoline was about $3.40 per gallon (just last November, incredibly) said, families that buy an electric vehicle "will never have to worry about gas prices again.”

That’s the transportational equivalent of saying, “Let them eat cake.”
