    You're standing athwart progress. Decarbonizing transportation is going
    to happen no matter how quickly you repost contrarian takes.

    KPMG:

    "Auto executives are very optimistic that the billions spent on
    investments in new factories and powertrains are going to yield big
    dividends. Eighty-three percent are confident that the industry will
    achieve more profitable growth over the next five years versus today. In
    2021, only 53 percent were as confident."

    You fucking idiot.
    Carbon fuels generate a great majority if the electricity used in charging EV batteries.
    And, as the demand for electricity will rise, re newable sources will not be able to keep up with the demand.

    LoL. Do they have a choice? They're doomed to getting bounced
    out the door if they give a hint to investors the f'd up that bigly.

    Eighty-three percent are confident that the industry will
    achieve more profitable growth over the next five years versus today.

    Yet the stock market less subject to propaganda is pricing in a different tale with Tesla leading the way.

    Yes, they do. It's a survey. Probably multiple choice.

    They're doomed to getting bounced out the door if they give a hint to investors the f'd up that bigly.

    Unless it's anonymous.

    Another thing that will get them fired is not anticipating changes in
    the market.

    You think Tesla stock prices are falling because Musk isn't optimistic
    enough?
