Green stimulus plans, plus the added knowledge of smog and pollution having been reduced, has been a boost to EVs. Tesla is reportedly on the way to a record quarter of deliveries, they'll have a stock value above 1000, meanwhile we have countries left and right doubling down on EVs (europe especially).

This is renewable.) Meanwhile, the actual, durable alternative (nuclear) is off the table because it's too scary and expensive. Also, all those batteries and solar panels are a continuous (fossil fuel consuming) production burden. But I guess that never stood in the way of profit before. Ironically, the most profitable model would be if there was just stuff you could dig out of the ground and use right away that was extremely energy-rich.
