But of course, as soon as the THOUSANDS of scientists, environmentalists, and engineers that are powering this transition read the thread from Joe Bobo, they are all going to change their minds and say: “Yeah, he has something there, we will just forget it and go back to all ICE powered vehicles.
It’s the future, lOVE it or hate it, bury your head in the sand, do whatever you want, it is happening.

Environmentalists today do not care about the cause. If they did they would require all “green” based vehicles to eliminate the use of petroleum based plastics in their vehicles. So long as they do not they are nothing by hypocritical. And they are incentivized by government grants to drag this out as long as possible to get more and more funding. Look what Elon did with carbon credits.
This has everything to do with driving up energy costs in certain markets to price out geopolitical adversaries and shift power balances. And a fight for which currency will price crude in the future as some trying to push the petro dollar out of existence.
This will be exposed over the next 5-7 years. The chaos and market volatility in the meanwhile is what affords the opportunity for realignment later. Always the opportunity in the chaos to develop the situation.
