Who is to say that the EV is that logical next step?
This is a political ideal and I get it. On paper, it sounds good, let the free market thrive. However, oil is also heavily subsidized, and major car manufacturers have been bailed out in the past... if you think government shouldn't be involved, then GM and Chrysler would likely not exist today. The "free market" is free until it collapses, then regulations come in and save it. Then its free for awhile until something happens again. Rinse repeat.

I was absolutely against the bailout. However, many businesses fail because of government involvement. Labor unions just exacerbate it and are another political arm, not exactly business friendly. Made sense many years ago, unnecessary today.
