Just as certain states are doing now by requiring a certain percentage of cars sold by 2030 to be EVs... And by ending gasoline only new car sales by 2035...
The Feds are talking about making that a national mandate...

"Stacking the deck", or gvt mandates, laws prohibiting dangerous or harmful things are required to protect or serve the best interest of the general public.
Although there are many who argue against any regulation, the reality is that, like the chihuahua string against his leash (gvt mandates and laws, etc) trying to get to that hungry, angry Doberman, he is ignorant of the fact that his owner is saving his very life.
The old mantra of, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", makes a nice sound bite and propaganda for holding on to old technology. But old tech is broken by the shear fact it is old and out moded and no longer the best available. Behold! "New and Improved"! Better in all quarters, and getting better all the time.
Just like buggies whips weren't broken. They just outlive their general usefulness, unless you are Amish and stuck in a time warp. The general use for the IC engine is going slowly by the wayside. Put down my flint knife and get one of steel. Trade bow and arrow for a rifle.
