    Sure, but why sell fossil cars with 20 year lifespans when we’re supposed to be carbon neutral in 26 years?

    Countries may not be carbon neutral in 8 years, but there will be carbon neutral countries in 16 years. The US isn’t on that path yet.

      Would be great, but Congress hasn’t been on board with that - every Republican voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, and you can’t do a non-budget thing without a 60% supermajority in the Senate, which the Democrats didn’t have.

      Biden is using regulation to speed up EV adoption, though the limits of the “Major Questions Doctrine” the courts invented mean that it won’t get us to 100% electric.
