Consumers move toward the most efficient technology — always. Across the rest of the world, the cost of #ElectricVehicles is going down 📉 while their popularity rises 📈. His Kowtowing to the fossil fuel industry will leave us in the economic dust.
Breaking News: President Trump threw the weight of the federal government behind vehicles that burn gasoline rather than electric cars, gutting one of the country’s most significant efforts to address climate change.
Trump Returns to Gasoline as Fuel of Choice for Cars, Gutting Biden’s Climate Policy
