(Natural News)—The push for electric vehicles (EVs) is “the most ill-conceived government policy objective in modern history.
This was according to Ron Ross, a former economics professor and author of “The Unbeatable Market.” Ross said the push to convert or turn in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for their electric counterparts is a hopeless Democrat-led environmentalist goal.
Ross added that the transition has no chance of success because it is full of various deal breakers, including how EVs are prone to causing accidents and other safety issues.
An ambitious goal like the total conversion from ICE vehicles to EVs needs “careful planning and infrastructure preparation,” he said. It also requires the massive expansion of the American power grid – a virtually impossible task. (Related: Electric vehicles are unreliable and not cost-efficient – especially in cold weather.)
Car dealers are already resisting further deliveries of EVs because their current stocks have swelled and not that many people are interested in swapping out their reliable ICE vehicles for the newer electric cars.
Yet, manufacturers are still ramping up production even as consumers are balking at getting an EV.
“Something will have to give, and soon,” said Ross. “EV makers and their shareholders will tire of pouring money down a rathole.”
Disadvantages of owning an EV in 2023
There are a variety of other reasons why owning an electric car is a serious disadvantage. For starters, the average EV retails for $61,000, which makes most consumers think of a luxury car.
A new gas-powered car is around $20,000 cheaper. But EV prices can surge faster during crisis periods, such as when the supply chain disruptions of 2022 caused the prices of EVs to skyrocket when essential car components like lithium and nickel became more expensive.
The supposed maximum ranges of EVs are also likely to be overestimated. Some of the most advanced EVs can only promise a maximum of 380 miles in so-called “normal conditions,” such as when driving on less congested highways and when the weather is a little warmer.
In cities with heavy traffic and during cold weather periods, these ranges could be cut immensely, and EV owners are forced to make their own intuitive judgments about how far they can get based on their battery percentages.
Relying on EV charging stations also might not be an option, especially for longer drives. Even the country’s most populous states don’t always have a lot of public charging spots outside of large cities.
EV owners have to plan their routes based on the availability of EV charging stations and the number of charging ports these places have. Relying on free or low-cost charging isn’t always an option, and paying for charging spots could easily ramp up costs for EV owners.
Owners of Tesla vehicles may rely on the more common supercharging stations. However, owners of non-Tesla EVs are out of luck as the company’s charging stations are not compatible with other cars in the United States. This situation has only changed in Europe, where regulations have forced Tesla to make their charging stations compatible with those of other EV manufacturers.
This effectively means there is a tiered system for EVs in the U.S., where the availability of services like charging stations depends on how much people paid for their EVs and from which manufacturers they got their EVs.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
