With gas prices so high and with no effort from the Biden administration to ease them could it be an intentional strategy to push electric vehicles?

Not just electric vehicles. The goal (absolutely explicit; they tell us this openly) is to de-carbonize. They believe humanity must use zero carbon-based energy. The fact that this is a pipe dream makes not a dent in their enthusiasm. They are forcing it, because there is no way to incentivize it, because we cannot run a modern economy without carbon-based energy. When faced with having a modern economy or not, they choose not to. Remarkably extreme thinking.

It's not a pipe dream, it's an excuse for limitless tyranny. That it is not achievable is a feature, not a bug. They can spend a lot of money and time brainwashing people to fear this "problem" without worry that someone will find a solution. Then they can do all kinds of absurd things under the guise of fighting climate change.

Yes and at the same time they are manufacturing food shortages to make meat unaffordable. This has to be why they are trying to force farmers in Europe to cut meat production.

We need to overthrow these tyrants. It is our right to do that under the constitution.

The spirit of Jefferson speaks.

"Overthrowing" "them", however, is not so simple as a simple cathartic violent confrontation. Any of us who send money into large corporate entities (Amazon, Walmart, Proctor & Gamble, Apple, for example) are constantly giving them our resources. I have not yet achieved complete avoidance of the borg in my dealings. We need to relate to each other differently so that whoever is "overthrown" is not replaced with the newer, shinier version of precisely the same damned thing.

Exactly . Self-sufficiency is a requirement to reach a "purer" autonomy, so to say.

Converging to a "purer" autarky seems almost impossible nowadays.

So you do the best you can... as it should be.

Basically a load of rich people got scared about climate change a few years back.

They didn't have faith in human intelligence to invent new technologies to get round the problems, even though that's what's happened before. These very rich people saw ordinary people in the West as selfish, spoilt and wasteful. The little people didn't need all this stuff, unlike important people.

So they got together and decided that people in the West would have to cut their standards of living to save the environment (and their beachfront mansions).

Then someone pointed out that people were very unlikely to do this no matter how much they were made to feel guilty.

So it was decided western economies would have to be destroyed and people forced to abandon their living standards.

It's not just about electric cars, it's about the ordinary people not being allowed to have cars full stop. They clutter up the roads so rich people get stuck in traffic and can't find a parking space.

So they built huge apartment complexes without parking. No parking, no charging point. Thousands of people who can't drive, that's a win.

It all leads to one-world rule. Now they are saying nitrogen is bad and cattle must now be mostly destroyed.

Don't you mean methane? Nitrogen is 90% of the atmosphere.
