Imagine only a smart part of the fraction to pay oil companies, to build the streets, all the profs at university for "ICE related" tech from the last 60 years, all the educated engineers, all the lobby institutions etc - and pour this into EE & battery research -> where could we be today?

If we would have invested a small part, the world would be quite different! (and this world, Iran war wont happen these days)
Or another Gigawatt solar + batteries this year.
