(Heh) There ya go again, Ralph... assuming one person is going to dictate to unfortunate others what they have to do.
When practical, attractive, affordable EVs arrive, and laws shape the economic landscape to favor them, you won't have to force them on the public. Those who are smart enough to know that EVs are best for them, will buy them. Others will change because it will cost them less. That's the American Way.
There will always be those who will refuse to change, whether they have a good reason to or not... but if EVs begin to outnumber ICEs, ICE prices will go up as EV prices come down, and the higher cost of buying, fueling and maintaining ICEs will eventually cause many of the holdouts to switch to EVs out of financial necessity. The American Way, again.
So you'll still be able to buy your ICE. It'll just cost you a lot more to buy it, fuel it and maintain it. Your choice. Start saving those pennies.

Sure there are. The only real roadblock is the refusal of a country's individuals to give up the bad habits they believe they've earned simply by being American... it's the bad habits that force us to use so much oil. We can adopt sensible habits, need far less oil, and can transition to existing alternative energy sources, right now.
