      Not sure I agree. Drivers are a significant voting bloc in any election. It’ll always pay off to placate them.

          2030 is only six years away. Watch drivers lose all sensitivity about the environment when they are required to buy a more expensive car that doesn’t go as far as their old one and is way less convenient on long distances. I believe you’re a bit optimistic about people’s willingness to change. Everyone is all for saving the environment until they have to personally chip in.

          Plus, you know, lobbies. Executives might lose money. Money!! Absolutely can’t have that.
