Climate change was the catalyst for EV, wind and solar. But no longer. The eco system of growing markets -> attracting capital for engineering continuous improvement in price and performance-> faster growth in sales is in play.
Public policy is moving up the benefits by a decade or so.
What are the benefits?
Consumers will save $1 trillion dollars a year in reduced EV fuel cost and electric power bills plus reduced medical expenses. Fuel prices and supply become more stable.
Less oil profit for Russian and Middle East Terrorists means a more secure world.
Inflation reduction act really does reduce inflation.
Does less CO2 mean less damage from climate extremes. Some folks don’t think so. But who can argue with cheaper and better and safer energy sources? In any case for those who think less CO2 might reduce the $ Trillions in damage possible with extreme climate, that is at least a possible bonus of replacing burning coal, natural gas, and oil with Wind, Solar, grid batteries and EV batteries. Right?
