Lets increase fuel prices so high everyone will buy electric vehicles. So let me get this straight. I cant afford $5.00 gas, so i better spend $60.000.00 to buy an electric car. And then realize my electric bill rises to an equal cost of the $5.00 a gallon gas. But at least i can virtue signal until my heart is content. And after all that is what is most important.

We are setting ourselves up for rolling blackouts, or the collapse of the electric grid if this transition to EVs is done too quickly.
