https://www.afinalwarning.com/494927.html (Natural News) The powers that be would like us all to believe that America will be running exclusively on electric-powered vehicles in less than 15 years. The reality, however, is that this is not only impossible but also a foolish endeavor that will create more pollution and more problems.
Akio Toyoda, CEO of one of the most highly ranked car manufacturers in the world, Toyota Motors, explained to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association at its recent end-of-year press conference that electric vehicles emit more carbon dioxide than combustion engine vehicles. Not only that, but electric cars are extremely expensive to produce and inflict massive damage on the environment.
Companies from outside the automotive industry, such as electrical appliance manufacturers, find it easier to enter the market for electric vehicles, which feature a simpler structure than gasoline models.
The president of an auto parts maker in Ota, Gunma Prefecture, known as a factory town of Subaru Corp., emphasizes the need for conversion in its business line. We should develop links with companies that can steadily produce motors, he said.
It does not seem easy for auto parts makers to find new demand elsewhere, however.
In the aircraft industry, which has attracted attention as a potential source of alternative demand, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. s project for Japan s first domestically developed small passenger jet has suffered setbacks. Also, it is uncertain whether the aerospace industry will generate as much future demand for parts manufacturers as automobiles do.
The new vehicle market in Japan expanded by 6.8% to 384,442 units in January 2021 from 360,103 a year earlier, according to registration data released by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. related to Vehicle markets,
Push to go electric could make Japan’s cheap microcars extinct

Tokyo Japan’s kei cars, known for their affordability and small engines, face a potentially existential threat as the country leans on automakers to go electric as part of its net-zero emissions goal.
Kei means “light” in Japanese, and the category makes up about a third of new domestic automobile sales. They’re a popular means of transportation outside of major cities, used by farmers and families that need multiple vehicles to get around.
Cheap to buy and own, keis are mainly manufactured for the home market, with engines limited by law to 660 cubic centimeters (40 cubic inches).
