“as we all know, liberals like spending money, but if it’s not there, they will rue the day that they ever decided on EVs to replace ICE.”
Yeah, Obama probably would not have influenced the accelerated development of driver-less tech but I still have the feeling that there was some attempt, successful or not, to hasten the end of fossil fuel ICE’s...because human beings and their love of driving automobiles are the reason that we human beings must also “save the Planet”. To give up some of this freedom so that we won’t have to relocate to another solar system, yadda-yadda...Obama and Climate Change ‘parishoners’ the world over want there to be an effect (Save the Planet) where there is yet to be sufficient probable cause and technical correctness. I hope they fail!
Again, it wasn’t Obama’s idea or any democrat’s idea to develop driverless cars.
People seem to be confusing or conflating driverless with electric vehicles. They’re not the same technology or the same idea.
What Obama and democrats wanted and want, is power that’s not derived from fossil-fuels. As such, they would be destroying a lot of the tax sources for their huge and never-ending big government programs. But, what the democrats want is not really to end fossil-fuel usage, but to control the energy sector, like they want to control everything else. In essence, they want the issues with which to bash republicans with, and once they get complete control of government and complete government oversight of all industries with regulations, then, they would rethink their opposition to fossil-fuels, since the opposition would not longer matter and they would have achieved their ultimate goals of complete control over all the economy and over all the people. IOW, the liberals’ opposition to fossil-fuels is just a ruse in order to attain their complete agenda.
