Personally, I think that the goal of a vibrant, thriving democracy is to allow and encourage participation from many groups of citizens. This will result in the government pursuing multiple objectives at the same time.

This necessarily means that you're going to have to make trade offs. Is it more important to have cheap EVs or is it more important to keep good jobs in country?

Maybe in this case we'll decide on good jobs in our country, and then look at other ways that climate change can be addressed. Maybe we won't.

Asking why an entire country doesn't do 100% of the things it could to address a single issue seems almost intentionally naive.

Maybe it's the idea of a "country" that's flawed? Certainly it is, we live on a planet and are all impacted by the environment. Previous social structures are no longer applicable and are causing damage. It's only a matter of time before they're rethought.
