Still, China is basically the same size as the US by area (slightly bigger actually), yet the Chinese are investing a whole lot of money into their e car infrastructure.
It's probably a matter of commitment. Does a government really believe in and thus push change or not?
Is it what people want or what politicians want? There is a difference you inow

I don't know where your from, but here its the opposite with politicians. They are largely unintelligent, unreasonable, prone to violence and cant see past the next election.

The latter
Having said that, I didn't like her melodramatic way recently. I actually had to giggle as I watched her speak in NY. She seemed more like a bad actress...
What ideas are being forced upon the people at gunpoint? Electric cars?
When you say politicians should dictate _____ for the people. Thats how it is done.
