Costly and Counterproductive

An executive order to mandate electric-vehicle sales presents economic and environmental problems.

On August 5, President Biden issued an executive order setting a goal that, by 2030, half of new vehicles sold in the United States must be electric—including fuel-cell electric, plug-in hybrids, and full-battery electric. Today, only about 3 percent of new vehicles sold are electric. According to Biden, the measure will “improve our economy and public health, boost energy security, secure consumer savings, advance environmental justice, and address the climate crisis.” In fact, it is likely to do the opposite of all those things.

US-Iranian Nuclear Talks Come Unglued

Negotiators at the Vienna-based talks on re-establishing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) have reportedly drafted an agreement and returned to their respective capitals, apparently in the hopes of securing an endorsement for the revived “nuclear deal” with Iran, which by the way Iran never signed. While some differences still remain, the P5+1 nations (the US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany) were trying to restore the JCPOA deal before the new Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi took office last week.

President Biden’s negotiating team, to win the support of Iran’s hardline dominated regime, had reportedly agreed to a substantial lifting of Trump administration-imposed sanctions on Iran.

The Taliban seized a sixth Afghan provincial capital on Monday following a weekend blitz across the north that saw urban centres fall in quick succession and the government struggle to keep the militants at bay.

8-year-old boy is youngest person charged with blasphemy in Islamist Hellhole Pakistan

An eight-year-old Hindu boy is being held in protective police custody in east Pakistan after becoming the youngest person ever to be charged with blasphemy in the country.

The boy’s family is in hiding and many of the Hindu community in the conservative district of Rahim Yar Khan, in Punjab, have fled their homes after a Muslim crowd attacked a Hindu temple after the boy’s release on bail last week. Troops were deployed to the area to quell any further unrest.

On Saturday, 20 people were arrested in connection with the temple attack.
