In a stunning announcement, GM says it will stop making all diesel and gas-powered cars and trucks. Its goal is to be carbon neutral by 2040 so to that end it will stop all diesel and gas-powered production by 2035. That’s it. No more Duramax Silverados. No more V8 Corvettes. In fact; no more internal combustion anything.
<GLOBAL WARMING> :o

🙄 I don't know how they plan on charging all these electric vehicles. They can't keep the grid up to homes and business' now. Just 14yrs, don't think the technology will be up to par by then. Can you imagine trying to pull a trailer cross country and getting 400 miles....down time of 8hrs to recharge.
Guess you should invest in a fleet of used pickups for sale in the future. Or invest in horse and wagons.😤

A lot of cars will end up at the bottom of hills. If school ever opens kids should be taught about all of the things that come from petroleum and animals beside gas and meat.
When I was a kid in Texas we had an old Oliver tractor that had a separated furl tank a small section fo Gasoline and a large ongse for what you had the most of. It started, with a crank.on gas and once armed up you switched and tuned to whatever responded to the fuel you had, spark, and more/less compression. It smoked, knocked, and plowed as long as you could stick with it. :)
We bought this place when I was 27 (75) because it had a good amount of water running out of the ground, more pinion pine than we could ever burn, plenty of small game, and "potential". We were able to pay cash and build on the cheap and out of sight. Many of our family and friends made light of us as we experimented with gas an diesel generators, wind turbines, and solar energy. We are not as independent as we could be but the "re-new bees" will provide much of what we need when they abandon their "Ranchetts" & "Homesteads" as soon as Amazon stops delivering their "Magnum Tomato Grow Boxes", organic home brewing & wine making kits, and EZbeeZ local honey setups. If God had intended for these folks to feed themselves he would never have created fingernail files and instant anything. ::)

Hopefully it's just rhetoric :-[
