Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: It’s Not Up to the U.S. Government to ‘Force People to Buy an Electric Vehicle’

TRANSCRIPT:

TAYLOR GREENE: "You see, it wasn’t too long ago that we were energy independent in America. There was a different mindset in charge. There was a mindset of putting our country first, our tax dollars first, and putting Americans first, and considering ramping up energy in America and growing energy in America, instead of declining and killing energy in America. But now that seems to be the way of our government. It’s hurting Americans and people cannot afford it. This should not be a political issue. This is an issue for every single person that drives a car and truck. Now, it seems to be the goal is to make every single American drive an electric vehicle, and if that’s the goal, there’s a big problem here. It’s not up to the government, the United States government to force people to buy an electric vehicle. It should be up to the United States government to do things like take care of our national security, secure our border, help oil companies produce more oil to increase energy independence, increase natural gas production, continue to build more nuclear to grow energy in America, but that doesn’t seem to be the way."
