Wishful thinking laws Its like passing a law that the sun shall come up tomorrow. The only thing this law will do is slow adoption because it justifiably creates resentment. Its stupid and counterproductive but they want to try to be able to take credit for things that are gonna happen regardless.

Kinda like how laws banning 'child labor' didn't actually abolish child labor. The reality is increased production created widespread wealth gains throughout the population and as people's wealth increases they have less need to send their kids to work.

Or how gov credits OSHA for making workplaces safer when in truth workplace accidents had been declining for years (again a consequence of broader wealth - people get wealthier they place higher value on safety), and after OSHA declined at comparable rates YoY.

Last week on 9/29 we took a 459 mile day trip in our EV Had we driven our truck instead this trip would have taken about 9 minutes less time than it actually took - an imperceptible difference. The only reason I even know how much time difference it would be is because I'm a data nerd and I record things most people don't record. That is serious, real, and functional. The tech is there now. Upfront cost is the only real problem that needs resolving before wider spread adoption and here again government stupidity is the culprit - prices had been falling till gov decided to shut a lot of things down and simultaneously go on a money printing bender beyond anything they'd ever done before.
