Well, get rid of subsidies and tariffs as well. Also fix the legal system so that individual's find it easier to get compensated fairly for whatever they may lose due to the excavations.

Since all of this will not happen at once the point is somewhat moot.

The US government is barring oil companies from drilling on so-called "public land" and rather have us depend on foreign countries for our oil supply.

In turn, gas prices go up, the cost of shipping goes up and so does the cost of food and other necessities. Before we know it a 50% increase in the cost of gas will be a nearly identical increase in the cost of bread.

The statists proclaim that it should be the individuals duty to go to alternative sources of fuel; otherwise, the hungry man can suffer and the working man can lose his job, because he can't afford the commute.

Is anyone so wise and so virtuous to dictate how we should travel and how we should sell and ship our food in the name of cleaner air? That is the question.

The fact is when the individual truly wants an electric vehicle, she will have it and no sooner. To force her into starvation and poverty to reach the end of cleaner energy -- is that truly preferable?

It won't only be the business owner bearing the cost of this governmental experiment; it will be the average individual as well.
