Seems like the core complaint is with subsidies for electric vehicles. I can see where he's coming from... 'course, without subsidies, I doubt wind and solar would be taking off the way they are, now, as those subsidies allowed economies of scale to develop which have led to significantly reduced costs. Sometimes government needs to subsidize technology in order to help it take off (and that includes the Internet, which allowed the author to broadcast their post to the world). This also ignores the fact that existing gas powered vehicles are heavily subsidized thanks to a) subsidies to the petroleum industry, and b) negative externalities. So there's a bit of hypocrisy, here.
