Yes, I realize that, but the problem remains: namely, that everything points to EVs being the future.
Attempting to artificially halt this development in favor of short-term profits for outdated industries only serves to massively damage the future viability of the country in question.
It's obvious that manufacturers and the oil industry are willing to accept this, but you'd think they'd at least come up with some decent bogus arguments. I mean, job losses are a particularly poor argument, as the world does not stand still and, in the medium term, more jobs will be lost due to the delay in introducing future technologies than will be preserved by artificially maintaining technologies that are no longer competitive.
However, I have not yet heard any other arguments than that, which simply does not convince me.
In the future the managers and politicans making these decisions will be gone.
Yes, that's true - and the citizens are left to foot the bill.
