The parent is arguing for extreme subsidization to alter the market for electricity and vehicles (etc).<p>They effectively want the government to spend a lot of money to bankrupt the fossil fuels industry and fossil fuel vehicles, with subsidies toward the generation of renewables and producing electric vehicles.<p>They&#x27;re wrong that spending is easier however. Republicans control Congress and the US made a massive mistake in taking on ~$15 trillion in new public debt between 2000 and 2015. Simply put, the US doesn&#x27;t have vast excess spending room (which means it would require tax increases or new taxes). It would cost trillions over a few decades to pull off the parent&#x27;s plan.
