Unless I start to hear that Illinois is supporting and building MNR(Modular Nuclear Reactor) power plants, this is definitely putting the cart before the horse.

Doesn’t electric grow for free from green trees in Springfield?

When the EV business relies on the government to supply subsidies and choke your competitors fuel supply and now outright ban the competition by force, its not really a business, its collusion. Just make EV”s compelling enough and see if the market wants them. Without playing games with gasoline prices, subsidies and outlawing your competitor. Without competition you’ll only wind up with substandard EV’s in the end because the government stepped in and obliverated your competition for you, so you no longer have reason make an EV thats as good as an ICE vehicle. Is that the plan?

Can’t just wait until the product and service are good enough that people decide they want to buy it on their own……
We can’t supply enough electricity as it is, so lets add thousands of EV’s to drain the grid even more…
But don’t ever mention the extreme cost to the environment to make these EV’s…
