Nothing like another statement of intentions to show they’re dealing with climate change on an urgent basis. Next step? Who knows, but we can put it on the shelf for a year at least.

Did they forget about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles? I’ll wager it’s not even on their little shallow minds. They have a range of 300 miles or so same as large electric batteries but can be fueled up in 5 minutes vs 30 minutes for all electric. Who wants to wait 30 minutes in freezing cold waiting to get shot by a drive by? Also where are we going to get all the lithium for the batteries? China of course.
