That Act also drastically and massively increased Federal investment in EV adoption.
On top of the sun setting of the ICE by California legislation beginning in 2026 and finishing to 100% in 2035, with possibly 17 other "CARB" states following along.
So why would the discussion not be political.

EV’s are so good, that the government has tried to bribe you to take them first and then mandate them after that didn’t work. All while actively ignoring the environmental impact of the manufacture prior to sale and after the car is no longer usable (batteries in scrap heap). Very convenient - “ZERO EMISSIONS” folks! All the while massive grants and preferential lending is given by governments to manufacturers to perpetuate this nonsense.
Nope, not political at all
