Electric cars will not "save the environment".

Their purpose is to "save the US automotive industry".

The idea that billionaires and car manufacturers would be motivated by anything else is laughable.

Support public transportation.

Maybe if domestic automakers fall to Chinese competition, the US will start properly investing in public transportation like it did a century ago.
