Should the federal government support EV adoption through incentives and infrastructure funding?

Electric vehicles (EVs) run on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel, which can reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. To increase EV adoption, the government could provide financial incentives (e.g., tax credits) and invest in infrastructure such as charging stations. Proponents argue that government support helps lower the upfront cost of EVs, makes electric transportation more accessible, and addresses climate change by reducing emissions. Investments in charging infrastructure ensure that EV owners have the resources they need to drive without concern. Opponents arg…

Yes but with less focus on electric vehicles and more focus on improving affordable public transportation resources.

 @BDZTDDD from Missouri  answered…3 days3D

No, EV businesses should be subject to marketplace stressors without government assistance. If the business model isn't profitable, businesses should abandon it. Seen this before with government assistance on solar panels (Solyndra) that simply became pass-through funding for political cronies. Enough already.

 @BDZN8FY  from Ohio  answered…4 days4D

Yes and provide financial incentives for people who switch from gasoline to hybrid or EV

 @BDZF6YJ from New York  answered…4 days4D

Develop public transit.

 @9C7KZRK  from Ohio  answered…6 days6D

Yes, but only support EV adoption for public transportation.

 @BDXPT59 from New York  answered…1wk1W

No, but external countries EVs should be allowed just as other cars are as they have developed affordable models.

 @BDXLBGC from Delaware  answered…1wk1W

not a fan of how electric vehicles are made today

 @BDX9KTK from Minnesota  answered…2wks2W

Yes, as electric vehicles become more attainable and affordable for the lower and middle classes.

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
