How The Government Canceled Classic Muscle Cars

The 1970s muscle cars were often noisy, smelly(rich fuel mixture) and not as well built as cars are today and they could not ever get anything above 10 miles per gallon. Today's muscle cars can easily get over 20 miles per gallon. I have owned several. They were fast, reliable but you had to have a loud stereo to hear the music especially if you had headers and a racing cam!

The most recent muscle car era lasted 15 years. Even if the Eco- communists/ environmental fanatics within the Biden Administration desires everybody go Electric , you can still have plenty of muscle cars to purchase.

If anything, when the wind stops blowing and everybody's charging their electric cars and running their air and using their electric clothes dryers, the only vehicles that will be running will be ones that don't need electricity to make it run.

We've already seen what happened to rolling blackouts in California and Europe because they are getting rid of nuclear power and steam plants that produce electricity using natural gas or coal but you find out that renewable energy cannot kick in as fast as a power station using fossil fuels or nuclear during Peak demand periods.

I feel that they will not outlaw the internal combustion engine just yet because this Administration won't last very long.

There is also an Open Secret of all these people that are dying of lithium and other heavy metal contamination trying to dig up enough or to be able to sell the open market which is in high demand for electric cars. Also, electric cars will have a battery disposal problem.

Here in Canada, the electric car will be limited by its distance it can go because when it's -30 below zero, you have to keep the occupants warm, and you have to keep the battery warm which limits the range.

I'm all for modern electric cars but not when the government mandates that there is no choice other than going green. But electric cars are not so green because they also produce their own kind of pollution such as a lithium that people are dying over digging It Out by hand worldwide.

You can park a car that has an internal combustion engine and you may have to just replace the battery for two hundred bucks a pop every couple of years. You can drive a car 2000 miles a year and that car will still be in good running order with minor maintenance a decade later.

Someone who has an electric car who doesn't drive it that often will have to spend $10,000 to replace the battery every 4 or 5 years. That's going to be a sticker shock to many. LTC Stephen F.
