  • Carbon has never been a winning election issue. If anyone cared they would know that Harris would have carried on Biden’s green energy. But it was the price of eggs and “it’s the economy stupid” that won the election. No one will touch it in the next election either because the Dems learned all that matters is the economy. Do the math, in 4 years it won’t be touched, then another 8 year cycle, means the soonest it may be run on is in 12 years. If Dems win they will focus on fixing everything from trump first, all you’ll get is some stuff around the edges. (Inb4 Lemmy’s famous misreading, I want it, but I know that no one will touch it because it loses them every election.)

    Not when we go to SUVs, growing population, and growing car ownership per capita. This is not static like everyone talks about. To make any real dent you pretty much need 100% EV sales.

    Again it’s the scale timeframe and policy. Scale: we’re talking the entire country, not singular cars. That means you have to account for what I listed above: movement to SUVs, growing population, and growing car ownership per capita. Timeframe: people demand decrease now. Not 20 years from now. That means you can’t wait out mixed EV and Ice sales for 20 years. Policy: People talk as if Biden failed because has consumption is up. Ok last explanation. He implements the impossible policy of 100% EV sales in 4 years. The result? Gas consumption is the same. See 250 million cars explanation. And people yell that he failed and it’s so easy. Reality is he succeeded and people don’t understand the metrics.
