Manchin ‘Very Reluctant’ on Electric Cars

“Faced with rising gasoline prices, many Americans are now looking to switch to an electric car,” The Guardian reports.

“But the shift away from fossil fuel vehicles has been criticized by Senator Joe Manchin, who has said he is ‘very reluctant’ to see the proliferation of battery-powered cars.”

Said Manchin: “I’m old enough to remember standing in line in 1974 trying to buy gas – I remember those days. I don’t want to have to be standing in line waiting for a battery for my vehicle, because we’re now dependent on a foreign supply chain, mostly China.”
