I love the optimism that congress people that oppose EVs and will use excuses like Lithium as excuses for their continued opposition (when there is no real connection to their actual opposition) would somehow magically support bipartisan plans for public transportation. The article knows Lithium is just an excuse for the opposition and that there are deeper reasons for the opposition, but then doesn't run the political game through to its obvious conclusion that many of the root reasons for the opposition are the same root reasons for opposition to decades of public transportation projects as well. These aren't two very different groups that oppose EVs and oppose public transportation: this Venn diagram is almost a circle.
