Ah yes, the Denver Post is back with another climate-clutching cri de cœur—this time over the horror of Trump’s new bill that axes federal tax credits for electric vehicles. The article is basically a therapy session for Tesla buyers losing their government handouts.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Trump signed a bill cutting off those sweet EV rebates—cue the green panic.
- Climate crusaders upset they might actually need to pay full price for their virtue signals on wheels.
- Colorado’s enviro-royalty whining louder than a windmill in winter.
- Auto execs suddenly realize EV demand ain’t so hot without Uncle Sam footing part of the bill.
- Buyers? Most are saying: “Thanks, I’ll keep my F-150.”
My Take
Cry harder, greenies. For years you’ve been stuffing your eco dreams with taxpayer cash like some bloated Build-A-Bear workshop run by Al Gore. But now Daddy Government took away the credit card—and wouldn’t you know it? Turns out electric cars don’t sell so well without the taxpayers’ subsidies propping them up.
You want an EV? Great. Buy it with your own damn money. If Elon’s batteries can actually survive a Weld County winter without crapping out midway between Keenesburg and nowhere, be my guest. But don’t come crying to us because your zero-emissions bumper sticker fund dried up. This should’ve never been about sweetheart incentives—it should’ve been about competition, value, and letting the market decide. And spoiler alert: that market just hit the brakes on your overpriced laptop-on-wheels.
