Perhaps America needs to return to the EF Model T.

Henry Ford's Lizzie (click here) would famously run on gasoline or ethanol, but it definitely wouldn't run on the motor vehicle fuel preferred by Ford's friend and contemporary, Thomas Edison--electricity.

Ford Motor Co. (click here) put down a multibillion-dollar bet that lightning will strike twice in the same place Wednesday night when it revealed an all-electric version of America’s bestselling vehicle, the F-150 pickup, on a massive outdoor wall of video screens at company HQ in Dearborn.

The 2022 F-150 Lightning aims to drive electric vehicles into the heart of the U.S. car market, leading the next transportation revolution in the same way the company did more than a century ago when the Model T put the world on wheels as the first automobile an average worker could afford and use every day....

There are some complaints about the cost of these machines. The cost of the fuel of the old machines, the internal combustion engine, is too expensive in more than one way to maintain a culture of fossil fuels. The time has come to end the pollution of Earth's gaseous layers that support life on this planet. It is time to realize the days of fossil fuels are over.

2030 is a tipping point. It is time to grow up and be grateful for the CEOs that made the hard call and put the Earth First. We needed the change to happen and now is the time.

There is going to be a lot of change to air quality on the highways and roads of the USA. No noise. No tailpipes. No emissions. it is going to be nice for a change. No more coughing garage mechanics.

Make America Great Again, outlaw air pollution. The oil rig workers can now go to work capping the wells they forgot about to end the pollution of methane.
