The 3-body problem (a sci-fi) book articulates how critical a stable environment is for long term survival and growth. The oil + auto lobby managed to change the rules back and forth, so there won't be any investment or growth in the EV sector. US will lose the entire auto segment because it is so far behind and the gap will accelerate. Its a shame an entire sector with millions of jobs and lots of additional opportunities (the battery sector) is gone. EV batteries would have bootstrapped and made utility scale batteries feasible with economies of scale.
