Give me a break, dude! We're talking about politicians making a law that is more than 10 years out. This is the very definition of virtue signalling.
If battery powered cars were so awesome, the law would not be needed.
- Dobbs 7y agoThe world doesn't change overnight. To do things like transition ICE to Electric you have to take time to do allow companies to ramp up production, research, and put into place transition plans. ICE vehicles have lots of externalised costs. Costs that aren't payed by the manufacturer or the consumer. Gas taxes in theory can partially internalise the costs, but put the cost entirely on the consumer and little on the manufacturer. This is a push to internalise the costs at the source. Not virtue signaling. Again the entire idea of virtual signaling is bunk. It is getting mad at someone for doing anything positive. It is a mindless insult to attempt to invalidate your opponent.
