Pretty much all levels of government have been enjoying those tax revenues (i.e., city, county, state, federal, etc.). You see democrats aren't counting the inevitable taxes which will be levied on electric vehicles to get the gas revenues back in the budget so when they compare costs between electric and gas vehicles, the numbers are significantly off from the get-go because the study includes taxes on fuel and not so on electric even though it will take place. This is yet another tactic by democrats. The truth often isn't palatable, so they conjure up lies to move their ideology forward. They aren't transparent regarding the taxes involved with EV's. They conveniently leave it out of discussions. I just don't understand why their representative's lying day in, and day out doesn't bother them. I believe that someday they'll come to the realization that the end does not justify the means. Hopefully it won't be too late for our Republic.
One, fight to ensure energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and oil, are the norms and people can transition into electric vehicles (EV) when they feel comfortable doing so and can afford doing so. It shouldn't be forced on anyone. Or we can sit back and get railroaded as we were with the COVID vaccine and keep our mouths shut even though we knew the information at times was false.
The bottom line is that there aren't just a few problems with the massive push into EV, there are several and they're serious. We can't afford to give up our national security due to other countries having leverage on us based on the supply needs we'd have if we moved forward (i.e., batteries, construction material for the new EV's, etc.).
Having to play nice with China and Russia because they'd have power over us with the supplies necessary to manufacture electric vehicles, is scary. Trump's mentality was the total opposite. He wanted us to control our own destinies and it began with being energy independent which was awesome while it lasted since Biden nixed it on day one of his presidency and things went south quickly. Which begs the question: "Is Biden really for us, or against us?" Did the money sent to the Biden's from various people from other countries help pay to steer foreign policies? Absolutely no doubt in my mind. The Quid, the Pro, and the Quo are easily identified and should be easily prosecuted, but it's not happening. Why?
