    They are, however, winning the race to make more gas guzzling profit generators that destroy this planet for the benefit of their shareholders.

    They don’t have to worry, because the Buy American provisions in recent legislation (passed under both Trump and Biden) protects them from competition by more fuel efficient foreign competitors.

    Also doesn’t help that the leader of the COP, Saudi Arabia, was literally found making deals for oil and has a huge operation to try to resurge oil consumption everywhere.

    And of course, the US Auto industry loves light trucks and SUVs because of how fucked the CAFE standards are, meaning it’s cheaper and easier to create unsafe cars that are not only more dangerous to the environment, but also more dangerous to people and cities.
