Adam and Tyrone explain the similarities between Darth Vader and the government, specifically those policies related to gas taxes and electric vehicle regulations and fees.

00:00 – Intro. Tyrone breathes funny.
01:00 – Tyrone introduces the article this episode is based on (linked below): "What Darth Vader can teach us about electric vehicles and their hidden fees." The government keeps changing "the deal".
03:47 – Tyrone channels the famous essay "I Pencil...". The production of energy is complicated, and modern activists don't take that complexity into account.
06:35 -- Want clean energy? Unshackle nuclear power! Plus, Tyrone reveals that at the end of the day, we're all still relying on the steam engine and the turbine.
10:01 -- EV sales are slumping. Why? What is the future of the global gas/EV car market? How can consumers and producers plan for the future when the regulatory landscape is unpredictable?
16:31 -- Darth Vader (i.e. government) changes the deal, but also they can't coordinate resources. There is no discovery process or calculation process. Also: Tyrone gets mad about calling taxation "revenue". Then he gets really mad about Minnesota roads and taxes.
25:25 -- To make Tyrone feel better, Adam points to California's awful road situation. Plus, Adam solves the problem with evil legislators -- Make them dress up as what they are.
32:28 -- Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature! (and don't make any deals with Darth Vader!)
