We must save the planet. We have to act very soon. 100% electric cars have zero carbon emissions, so they must be required. They are expensive, so we'll need to tax the rich to help subsidize the manufacture and purchase of the vehicles. The government can help manage these activities by creating new oversight programs.
Also, no sales taxes on intrastate and interstate internet webstore purchases of dry goods deliverable by common carrier (USPS, UPS, Fedex, ..). That will radically slash the need for driving cars to brick and mortar stores.
NO. Let free enterprise run its course. The market will take care of everything.
Why not just ban cars, solving Global Warming and obesity in one stroke?

About the biggest idiot I've seen.
Where's the electricity come from? Most of the will still be from fossil fuel power plants. Do they emit CO2? You bet. And among them, the worst offender (a lot worse than oil/petroleum) and the least efficient, in terms of pollutants-emitted/energy-generated, is the coal fire power plants.
Yeah. Forget the fact that our emissions are lower than they were in 1992. We're making progress. Focus on China's emissions for a while, please.

He isn't serious. This is somebody pretending to be liberal making an outlandish statement.

Just power the power plants with electricity. Problem solved.
congestion pricing is the way to go
Look what's happening with Tesla's.
100% electric and they have massive issues with reliability.
Even IF we started building recharge stations in the hundreds every year (and found a way to power them obviously) you would still only replace 2-5% of the cars on the road depending on vehicle mix (small smart car or large SUV) by 2020.
Its basically impossible to go entirely electric until about 2035, and thats most optimistic. Least optimistic and realistically is probably 2045-2050, and the main driver will be market forces (expensive oil) not liberal butt sniffing.

Advances in technology, distribution, resource mining, medicine, and engineering have made our society humane, a tremendous number of which were developed or emerged during the relatively free market conditions of the industrial revolution. There was plenty wrong with labor markets back then, and important changes have been made. But don't discount what technology has done for us.
The liberal playbook:
1. Sell the public on a false emergency or crisis.
2. Build a consensus using low-information voters around a new set of facts.
3. Grow government to "protect the public" against all opponents.
yea those working and housing conditions passed by liberal progressives were all supported by solely low info voters eh? Tea party "lets cut spending except on stuff that i need" douch*
the real issue other than global warming that no one talks about is how the sh*t coming out of the tailpipes of our cars hurts our respiratory systems. ! in 6 kids in the bronx has asthma. People living near highways have a higher chance of getting autism. These are real issues that i guess people just want to "let the market work out"
