Likewise, while keeping this on topic, regarding vehicles and road maintenance, I think that electric vehicles are getting a free ride and there should be a way to get them to pay their fair share of road maintenance that the rest of us using gasoline and diesel are paying for.Not to get too far off topic here, but since significant money is spent to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, we could reduce that subsidy and use that money to maintain roadways instead.
And by the way, in regards to subsidies, to correct a widely spread falsehood, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service and the Energy Information Administration, wind and solar alone received more taxpayer cash during the past 18 years than the oil, coal, and natural-gas sectors combined, despite producing only a fraction of the nation's energy.
