We're heading down a crazy path where the rest of the world outside of North America has cleaner air and cheaper transportion options enabled by high quality Chinese EVs. Meanwhile life is worse and more expensive in wealthy NA, still chained to the whims of the oil market.

All because of political choices in banning imports and not sufficiently pushing local auto makers to push for an EV transition.

Really wild stuff to see NA that has always been at the technological bleeding edge, weirdly politicize vehicle engines and cede so much ground because it is so politically beholden to oil interests.
