EVs: Case of China/USA/Ontario
Joe Biden, if he can only lasso in Sinema/Manchin et al, wants to offer a subsidy of up to $12500 per US made EV in his BBBP.
Our own il Duce the premier of Ontario abolished all subsidies that had been put in place by his predecessor Kathleen Wynne. il Supremo abolished them on ideological grounds no sooner than he'd been elected.
The government of China by contrast announced today that their state subsidies for EVs which had been in existence for several years will come to an end by Dec 2022. Presumably these subsidies will have attained their objective in making China the world leader in this domain.
There is an election looming in Ontario this summer. Will we allow these self-styled right wing "populist" leaders to put a stranglehold on progress?
Cheers and a very happy new year.
