Then there are other people that believe some Americans will (stupidly) regulate themselves into inefficient high priced green energy sources and emissions standards that have no meaningful impact on the environment but drive consumers to very expensive alternatives.

But, I have faith in American ingenuity to circumvent this dystopian regulatory environment. Call it a "lack of faith" that we'll endeavor to comply with it, if you'd like. Again, I'm all for EVs taking over the marketplace without subsidies or regulation driving consumer choices.

I'd say more like 100 years of development, only with the recent implementation of expensive rare earth minerals was any real progress made.
