The corporate christofascists and their GOP stooges are doing everything they can to stop electric vehicle production and adoption in the US. They're doing the same thing with renewable energy. It's all about keeping the money flowing to the rich for at long as possible no matter what the long term costs to the country, the planet, or the non-wealthy. Most ofter countries not run by corporate fascists are adopting EVs and renewable as fast as they can. The US is going to become a dirty, underdeveloped country run by theocratic dictators and there is very little that can be done to stop it and very little time to do it.

Okay not that I'm suggesting the GOP is any good, but Biden set a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs and sent Yellen to complain about the overproduction of Chinese renewables.
They both protect American megacorp interests because they are both lobbied by the same companies.
-
Biden is NOT a liberal or progressive. He's just less of a fascist than the GOP. He lives in a world where more than 100 million people swallow anything the GOP forces into their mouths.
-
The democrats are also a right-wing party, just less so than the republicans
-
This, 100%.
There's a false narrative that everything and everyone is either left or right, liberal or conservative, blue or red. But it's simply not the case.
There are a handful of leftists in the Democrat party, but the vast majority are right wing conservatives. The Overton window has shifted hard to the right and most of the Democrats shifted along with it.
A Democrat politician today would have been considered a right wing republican extremist 40 years ago.

he's less overtly open about being a fascist than the gop you mean

I thought the main problem was unfair competition from subsidized car makers. The same problem as de European car market.
-
Yeah, it's so unfair that China is subsidizing the green transition!
Also, are we just forgetting about the unfair competition from subsidized farmers in the US destroying Mexican farms and forcing them to travel north to do agricultural labor in the US?
-
The subsidies aren’t for the green transition, the subsidies are there to get more influence on the markets, and not just the car market. Outprice the competition…
And no I didn’t forget about “what about…”
Sadly both have a same goal. Both influence competition in a bad way.
-
Uh huh, then why aren't they subsidizing gas cars to the same extent?
Subsidizing electric cars is good and y'all need to stop making excuses.
-
They are subsidizing gas cars,… and fossil fuel production is also subsidized.
-
And yet their gas cars are not being sanctioned. Doesn't that strike you as strange? What's the difference?
-
No, because those aren’t a threat to the (western) car marked. The electric ones are.
And the fact that China is currently controlling the battery resources. Also seems to be an influence.
But please buy one if you want one.
-
So I'm not sure what you think my point was.
I'm not saying the US is attacking China for having a green transition. I know it's just to protect business interests.

That's just their cover story for their base. It's actually about protecting the US auto and oil and gas industries and keeping profits flowing to the right people.
