I think ultimately, action to reduce emissions by a significant amount means a lower standard of living if you're in a developed country and reducing expectations for a higher standard of living if you're in a developing country.

Renewables and batteries are already winning. They need some deregulation, and we have to add some transmission capacity. The rest will probably solve itself.

The Biden admin put more than $350 billion dollars of subsidies into the 'green' movement in the U.S. for all sorts of initiatives -- while there is too little in nuclear I think it's disingenuous to say the US is taking no action

I‘m just citing what I read, my own opinion is different. The problem is that people here don‘t feel like they are responsible which is the biggest problem.

> people in our country can‘t afford new cars
This is about _new_ cars, so you don't have to replace your old car with a new car once this goes into effect.
Also, this is 12 years from now. Do you remember how the EV industry was in 2011?
Change is needed but no one wants it. USA and China take no action and Germans are pissed they have to solve the problem. That‘s what people here are thinking.
