The federal government subsidizes fossil fuels. It would be nice if there weren't groups like OPEC+ banding together to reduce supply so fuel prices stay jacked up. And of course, every sneeze, hiccup and tear shed by the oil companies and their refineries that they just can't have their way, meanwhile raking in billions and billions in record profits. It must be really hard making that much money. By all means, kick and scream at every notion of creating a competitive automobile industry so people can relieve themselves of being cash slaves at the pump.
