I think you're a bit delusional. All those things take years if not decades. Where I lived they struggled to get rid of carbon furnaces because:
It's not enough to theoretically have money for something. To actually implement it you have to overcome a lot of opposition and people will strongly oppose to :
Everything else will require lots of money and time. Those are huge project and implementing them will take decades. What will happen to truck drivers? How long will it take to replace current ships fleet? Where will you get all the lithium from? People are protesting new mining projects in Europe and USA. People are even complaining that the entire country side is being covered by solar panels.
Yes, we have money to do it all but the change will be slow and we've run out of time already.
I was once told that anyone who claims that they agree with your idea, but they think it isn’t feasible because “average people wouldn’t accept it” is either astroturfing or ignorant. From the head spinning levels of disinformation in the original post, it’s pretty clear which side you fall on.
Well, if someone told you this than it must be true. Hard to argue with such a great argument.
