Fair enough we can limit this to oil if you want (but I look at the whole issue). Limiting to oil means no new ICE cars. Not a single one! And we're back to what freaking industry do you guys work in. For every car company to retool every single plant. New assembly lines, new machinery. New parts suppliers, entirely new supply chain. Can't forget you have to engineer and test new cars before that. For mining to pick up to produce all the chemicals. More new manufacturing expansion to manufacture batteries. Don't forget all the assembly lines and machinery for that. Electrical companies, new power plants and new power lines. Hey cities and states, get that planning and permits going. Construction is notoriously fast /s.

You guys seem to have no idea the difficulty in working with physical products at scale.

And more inb4 Lemmy's famous misreading, yes we should do it. What I'm saying is it takes more planning, effort, and time than you can imagine.

Oh you make a thinly veiled personal attack. Why do I bother. Ciao.

... No, it doesn't. Xiaomi went from zero cars produced to 500,000 cars produced in under 5 years. All EVs. All without subsidization.

We can do this way faster than you oil loving freaks(since you're already claiming I did a personal attack) would like to admit. It's fucking easy. There's a real reason why Americans hate China, because it's shown the inherent lies and propaganda tied to every single belief that corporate dogs like you espouse.

You claim to want to help the environment. Stop repeating fossil fuel company lies and propaganda then. Maybe someone would take you seriously.
