RrrrrrEVENGE! Trump Unplugs California's EV Dreams!

One Million Dollars... I Mean Zero Emissions!

Good evening world! Doctor Evil here reporting live from my volcano lair... well not really *live*. This is pre recorded just in case Austin Powers tries to foil my plans. Speaking of foiling plans looks like ex President Trump decided to foil California's plan to force everyone into those go kart looking electric cars. Can you believe it? By 2035 they wanted to ban gasoline powered cars! That's madness! Absolute madness! Where would I get the gas for my shaaaaaguar?!

Frickin' Lasers... and Electric Cars

Apparently this whole EV thing was a 'disaster' according to Trump. He claims he's 'rescuing' the US auto industry. Rescuing it! As if electric cars are some kind of frickin' laser beam aimed at the heart of Detroit! Oh wait... they kind of are aren't they? But still! My lasers are much cooler. And more evil.

California Schemin'

Newsom that goody two shoes governor of California is predictably not happy. He's claiming the Republicans are 'bought off' by 'big polluters'. Cry me a river Newsom! If I had a dollar for every time someone accused *me* of being in cahoots with big evil corporations... well I'd have more than one million dollars! *Pause for maniacal laughter*. Though maybe not a *billion*... I'm still working on that part.

Waivers? I Hardly Know Her!

So the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Biden gave California a 'waiver' to do this EV madness. A waiver! As if they can just ignore the rest of the country. It's like saying 'Hey we're going to build a giant ice beam and freeze just *this* state!' It's not going to work! I mean unless I was doing it of course.

Sharks With Frickin' Electric Car Chargers Attached to Their Heads!

General Motors and Toyota were lobbying against these rules you say? Hmmm interesting. Maybe they're not *completely* stupid after all. Although I still think sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads would be a more effective transportation system. And more evil naturally.

One Billion Dollars!!! (Maybe)

So where does this leave us? Well it looks like the EV revolution might be on hold for now at least in some parts of the country. As for me I'm going to go back to plotting world domination. And maybe invest in some gasoline futures. You know just in case. And when I'm in charge I'm putting frickin' laser beams on *everything*! One... BILLION... DOLLARS!
