    they can subsidize EV manufacturing to the same degree

    Meaning that we would either have to increase tax rates or borrow more money? Wow, what a great solution.

      Or not subsidize oil and gas to the tune of ~$20 billion/yr and corn at $2.2 billion/yr and redirect that towards EVs.

        Yeah I find it a ridiculous parallel I recently saw an article that put a number on Chinese EV subsidies and it seemed extremely low compared to the barrels of money we’ve been giving the oil companies.
