The narrative continues and what we learn from history is that many people do not learn from history.
When I pointed out the coal plants in China to someone they said they were offset by all the EVsDo you understand that conservatives will go with the free market? If the market makes gas cars obsolete then people have to adapt. Instead of some bureaucratic directive forcing one commodity the market does.
Please don’t give me the green energy bit. Most of the green people say electric cars are only a temporary band aid anyway and their impatience must be showing with the Tesla vandalism and violence. Meanwhile coal production ( I thought the “green people” want this abolished) is thriving in China.

How are we going to export anything while we have massive tariffs, (in which case our exports would be subjected to retaliatory-tariffs abroad)?
Foreign nations already have massive import tariffs on all US products. That is literally the issue here
They're not.
They have a choice right now and people didn't want them then they wouldn't be built.
I hate wasting my time so I'm not going to explain anything to you.
Temporary? Your grandkids will know nothing but electric vehicles. Are we going to go back to horse and carts? That makes no sense whatsoever. They are not being built as a stop gap to something else. Temporary..? Uh?
Please don't tell me that you think some morons torching Teslas has anything to do with green energy. You've maybe not heard of DOGE.
Solar energy will overtake call fired energy perhaps next year in China. They are world leaders in solar technology. The US on the other hand is putting on the blinkers, sticking their fingers in their ears and singing la la la. Trump has called climate change a fake and a money making hoax. Well, leaders like China (and Australia - we're the top country for the uptake of solar panels...the morning sun is powering the tablet I'm writing this on) will be making the money. The US will have to pay us for the technology.
EVs are not going to take off in the US. The reasons are:
Luckily there isn't a political party doing it now either. But there is a party that is making gays and people who do not comply with someone's idea of gender second class citizens. They are also warning their base about people 'poisoning their blood'. They're shutting down and are threatening to sue the press. And their head honcho dines with white supremacists and accuses immigrants of eating pets and pardons people who have been found guilty of beating police officers.
Who cares if China’s “green” initiatives are so great when their non “green” initiatives are also part of their game plan?

Very wrong again. Why don't you check the figures before you post them. Or at least link to whatever site that's giving you bogus info. From here: China continues to lead the world in wind and solar, with twice as much capacity under construction as the rest of the world combined
The figures you have been posting have been completely wrong. I think you need to re assess who is supplying 'nonsense statements'. Please use links next time.
In an ideal world everyone would stop digging coal and drilling for oil and spend a fair chunk of their GDP in building up their renewable capacity. That's a not a world in which we live. Some countries, and I'll include Australia here, still rely on coal to a greater or lesser extent. It's Catch 22 in that you need energy to build solar plants, solar panels and wind farms. And until that renewable energy is sufficient then you'll likely need fossil fueled power until you get to the point where It becomes self sufficient. Like South Australia.Who cares if China’s “green” initiatives are so great when their non “green” initiatives are also part of their game plan?
