Yeah, the fossil fuel lobbying definitely paid off for those companies. They really should start moving some of those subsidies into electricity and electric cars / sustainable public transport. There’s no reason not to. Battery tech is basically at the point that 95% of people could drive electrically with some minor adjustments so why not give it some more incentives?

No, they would’ve worn this as a badge of honor and Trump would’ve scrambled to endorse them ASAP.
