Western automakers tried to stay the course with gasoline-powered cars, and for the most part, so did their JV partners. Now those companies are trailing far behind in an effort to keep up with lower priced EVs and hybrids from Chinese automakers, such as BYD www.cnn.com/2024/12/17/c...

They will have to learn how to compete with Chinese automakers and their affordable EVs in the future. “Losing China would be catastrophic for any automotive enterprise,” Russo said. “But never underestimate a corporation’s ability to prioritize short-term profitability over long-term viability.”

(2) Even if the incoming Trump administration pulls back on rules and incentives for US EV buyers, American automakers other than Tesla will still have to comply with tough emission standards and restrictions on gasoline-powered cars elsewhere.

Forget 2035, the death of internal combustion automobiles is closer than it may appear. China is leading the way (of course) but Germany's no confidence vote is directly tied to the failure to adopt EVs quickly enough to remain competitive. www.cnn.com/2024/12/17/c...

Transition is underway and is unstoppable. Does anyone really believe petroleum powered cars will dominate own market share in 10 years? 5 years? Charging infrastructure will catch up soon. US and European automakers are already far behind. #ElectricCars

Climate is a global issue and Climate Capitalism isn't just China and the U.S. #WindOnshore. $6 billion (Canadian) for 5,000 gigawatt = $1.2 dollars/kwh each year. Over 30 years, $.04/kwh plus .025/kwh operations and maintenance =$.065/kwh (: Project Drawdown, drawdown.org/solutions/on...)

B.C. has announced 9 new wind energy projects which the province says will produce enough to power the equivalent of 500,000 homes annually, boosting the grid about eight per cent. Interestingly, this is the same amount as the massive Site C dam (🧵) #bcpoli #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"I don't like this solar energy stuff; seems kinda 'green'" "Oh, ha-ha — forget about 'solar.' Right now 'Far Nuclear' is all the rage." "How's it work?" "The process fuses hydrogen, churning out much more energy than we need." "Whoa! Is it safe?" "We keep the reactor 150 million kilometers away."
