The Right to Own and Operate a Car Shall not Be Infringed

   The day may come when the electric vehicle question becomes bigger than that of abortion, bigger than that of guns, bigger than the debate of whether there is a deep state.

   The most-dominant public issue on the planet.

   The electric vehicle question has at least two factors that could drive it to become a massive public debate. One) climate change is already one of the most-divisive discussions we have. Two) There are already those who are angry with subsidies and mandates moving America towards electrics. The same people who worry the government is trying to take their guns away, could worry the government is taking their gasoline cars away.

   Those two things are the kindling sitting in the fireplace. All it takes now is a match -- a spark -- to ignite the fire. The rapid increase in EV sales we are seeing -- and will see in the next two to three years -- could torch a debate no one can put out.

   The freedom to own and operate a car may or may not become a bigger issue. But, there is reason to believe it could. Americans are attached to their cars -- their gasoline cars -- and if you come after them, that might be seen as the worst case of cancel culture yet. It's not exactly as if the Constitution says, "The right to own and operate a car shall not be infringed," but there may come a day when it seems the founding fathers words have been reworded to say that.
