    Isn’t that what they said with hydrogen fuel cells as they grifted away a decade continuing to invest in car infrastructure instead of pedestrian, bike, and rail?

    EVs are the new hydrogen fuel cells. They’re not about saving the environment, they’re about saving the auto industry.

      So volunteer to let them drill for oil in your back yard? Is that the answer since anything that takes more time or more money than that is obviously not a worthwhile solution.

      Even expanding public transport takes time to build infrastructure and contractors would need to get paid, you know, “funnelling money” to them. None of it is a one presidency job and none of it is free.
