A new grassroots coalition has formed to push back against the Biden Administration’s war against consumer-chosen, taxpayer-neutral motor vehicle options in the United States. As such, it is a new battleground against the industrial climate complex (including major car companies), which is at odds with consumers, taxpayers, and freedom.
Here is the pitch:
…Tell Biden To Back Off America’s Cars
The Biden administration is moving swiftly to get rid of gas-fueled cars–essentially through abolition.
A new proposed rule from Biden’s EPA would allow American automakers to have only ONE THIRD of their total yearly production be traditional gas and diesel powered vehilces, while forcing the remaining TWO THIRDS of all automobiles produced in America to be electric powered.
This proposed regulation, among others, [is] depriving the American public of vehicle choice that most fits their lifestyle and could easily affect economic growth in this country by stifling transportation.
“I was in Boone, North Carolina, from 1977 through May 1983 at Appalachian State and, trust me, we got many laughs out of this windmill. Especially how it generated one MW of reliable electricity and, somehow, did so without the blades ever turning.” – Victor Culpepper
On social media, environmental scientist Victor Culpepper remarked (above) about an early wind project with reference to an article, Ill-Fated Windmill Just Outside Boone (July 11, 2016). A previous MasterResource post recounted the 1940–45 Grandpa’s Knob grid wind power project in Vermont; the article below from North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural Resources summarizes a 1979 wind project.
…On July 11, 1979, Boone celebrated “Windmill Day” with a street festival to dedicate NASA’s Mod-1, the world’s largest megawatt industrial windmill on Howard’s Knob.
The windmill was installed on the 4,400-foot peak as part of a program run by NASA and the U.S.
“… the UK Health and Safety Executive has defined safe CO2 limits for the workplace. The limit for long-term exposure is 0.5% (5,000 ppm) but for shorter encounters it is 2% [20,000 ppm]. Anything over that figure is regarded as a risk to human health.”
Skeptical Science, advertised as “getting skeptical about global warming skepticism,” posted recently on the question: Is CO2 a pollutant? Interestingly, they made the point that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant in any sense of the word. Yes, very high concentrations in confined spaces (they provide an example) is deadly, but then so is water in a drowning. But water is not a pollutant either.

…If you look up the definition of pollution in a dictionary, you will soon realise it’s rather subjective.
