Couldn't agree more.  There is one single reason we are headed for 3rd world status and that is the radical greens and nobody else.  They are loud, small in number, and WRONG, but the politicians think they need their votes to get elected.  They should be completely ignored until they can make a valid point.  My diesel truck is not going to be replaced by an EV anytime soon.  The groceries and dry goods shipped from one end of this country to the other in trucks is never going to be replaced in our lifetimes by an EV until they can drive for a thousand or more kilometers without stopping and then re-charge in  under a couple of hours.  EV work good as city commuter cars and nothing else.  Oil and pipelines are here to stay for a very long time to come.  I for one am glad they are.
