t In Texas, there is a $200 extra fee you pay each year for having an EV. As someone who supports the move towards EVs, that seems fair to me. But at some point, we also need to just tax gas more like they do cigarettes

Heavier EV vehicles (consumer) don’t weigh anything near what freight trucks weigh. Running 10,000 cars a day over them compared to 10,000 consumer EV vehicles won’t make much of a difference. EV freight trucks, however, may well need to push the 80,000 GVW limit to make financial sense for those trucking companies. Those trucking companies have their work cut out for themselves in trying to get the American taxpayer to subsidize their damage to our roadways.
CHANGE and EVOLUTION guys EVS are here to stay till something better. Fossil fuels use is targeted for a zero history WORLDWIDE ( those that are Democratic). Climate change bringing ATTITUDE change in man.
But The Bigger trucks you are talking about do pay a tax on the gas they use, don't they? EV's don't pay this tax. So what is the point you are trying to make?
Hey, Pete, why is there, almost daily planes are losing a wheel, tires smoking and deflated? Have the standard check & detailed quality certified inspection and what have you implement any new rules??
That's what happens when you let airlines have government certified inspectors on their payroll doing the inspections and sign-offs instead of FAA/government paid inspectors doing it.
This is what happens when you shrink the budget (tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy) and cut government spending. We need to understand when we slash budgets it always going to affect jobs that congress thinks can be preformed by a non government entity either a private company or in this case the airline itself. The other part of this is cutting regulations. Some people are of the notion if we cut regulation the business would be better but at what cost? Most regulations that are implemented are a one time cost to companies but they cry that it will cost them money for the next 10,15 years. We need congress to fund these agencies so they can hire the inspectors needed and enforce the regulations.
I’d like to know who in the state of Kansas is allowing commercial driver’s license and us dot numbers to be pass out to illegal immigrants ? You are destroying the trucking industry in Kansas
I love it when Pete gets the mic.
I can't believe my eyes! not one but two people on capital hill having an adult conversation.
wont result anything other than higher taxes for taxpayers

And end fossil fuel subsidies
Thank you Secretary of State Pete for your service and expertise. Proud of. You!😊

Yep, sound right
EVs will become more efficient over time. Innovations will solve the problems just like when cars were new
Electric cars have been around for 120 years.
@@royklopfenstein5278 ya think? I'm talking about them taking over the market from ICEs. The old problems will be solved much faster now.

Kaboom, sizzle, sizzle.
Pete continues responding to questions with plenty of facts and knocking down anti-government BS.
