    Wrong. I hate the gov't mandates and subsidies and their infrastructure spending
    on them. I fear it will be a huge waste as the technology of the EV is not yet
    ready to replace a gas car.

    Yet you accept more than a century of subsidies for oil and gas.

    To which you owe your standard of living.

    So government subsidies are okay if they lead to an eventual benefit?
    Like ameliorating climate change?

    Do you really think America could have achieved that without energy?

    Now you're bargaining, which is progress from the anger stage. Someday, acceptance.

    I'd have settled for changing course forty years ago when the threat was identified.

    And subsidizing fungible energy is just so far different than EV charging stations.
    It's just moronic for you to try to equate them.

    Electricity is more fungible than gasoline. Is your alternating current delivered by tanker truck?
