    Stopping climate change by…

    Removing fossil fuels from the grid? Reducing methane leakage in natural gas transmission? Developing domestic nuclear energy?

    Maybe reducing car-dependency to make more efficient use of land and reduce the excessive amounts of taxpayer money being dumped to subsidize suburban development? Reducing inefficient flights between close cities (LAX-SFO, BOS-JFK-DCA)? Building more efficient buildings?

    How about taking advantage of the already insanely efficient supply chains in China that allow for the development of sub-10k EVs? Helping those companies launch in the US and bring their expertise with them to accelerate the EV transition like China has?

    Nah, let’s just give some more money to a few big EV manufacturers, I’m sure that’ll fix everything.

      More than one thing can happen at the same time.

      I’m sorry for shattering your world-view like this.

        You realize how much money is going towards EV subsidies? They’re extremely inefficient uses of money.
