@InternetEh @moira Biden also increased the tariffs on Chinese made EVs from 25% to 100% rather than making US companies ACTUALLY invest in their EV and renewable energy departments. These are multi BILLION dollar companies, they can afford it. Cars for 10k, something we don't have here and would go a LONG way in reducing emissions considering the country has decided, once again, to not invest in public transpo. And would be especially helpful to low income folks. The IR Act is helpful but it is not enough, and these companies did NOT need subsidizing, and the 70 Billion they received to do the right goddamn thing should have been invested in public good, like public transpo or healthcare, or subsidizing food costs as climate change has ravaged the ag sector more than it has the fuckin auto industry.
