Toyota is quietly pushing Congress to slow the shift to electric vehicles
I&#x27;m really optimistic and hopeful for the future of electric vehicles, but that article was incredibly slanted.  It seems to start with the premise that electric is better in every way and anyone arguing otherwise is only doing so to protect their profits.<p>What TFA fails to articulate is that Toyota is NOT pushing congress to slow the shift to electric by interfering in the market to prevent a natural disruption.  They&#x27;re asking them to interfere <i>LESS</i> so that there&#x27;s more time for the market to adjust naturally rather than respond to artificial pressure that makes electric more competitive than it is without special favors.  It&#x27;s presented as lobbying, but it more like lobbying against lobbying.<p>Presentational digs like this don&#x27;t inspire me to think the author is politically neutral:<p>&gt; <i>Toyota, which sided with the Trump administration in its battle with California</i><p>I am glad that they at least mentioned that there is some merit to hydrogen cells too.  There are people who live in very remote places where electric is not possible, and in some cases extremely dangerous.  If the people who live in the big city make it economically infeasible to have anything that&#x27;s not electric, it&#x27;s going to devastate some people&#x27;s way of life.
