USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.
This admin has set the USA back 100 years.
Especially when you see some of the tech being rocked in Asian cities
Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.
Non-EV cars don't run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn't made its way up the supply chain.
Of course US trucks run on coal. I see them rolling coal all the time! They cant roll coal if it wasnt coal. Duh...
But… but… those good ol’ days felt so good! We need to relive those days!
Again. They already enshrined "billionaires get all the money" in the one legislative victory of trumps first term.
They already enshrined "billionaires get all the money" in 2008 when the banks got the bailouts instead of the people
The problem is systemic, it didn’t start with Trump. He’s just way more flagrant.
