Coupled with massive investments in nuclear projects (which take many years).

And when all these clowns talk about is wind and solar and no mention of going full in on nuclear power base load generation, it reveals what a farce of government overreach and coercion this is trying to force the market to make an adoption much faster than it would otherwise on pure value proposition.

Try to remember that not one person in power, politician, billionaire, etc. gives ONE **** about you or your family and whether you live, suffer, or die. Not one. So follow the money and follow the motives and you can probably makes sense of things for yourself and decide if what you are being told is really going to improve your quality of life, or reduce it.

The strange thing is companies like GM are now "all-in" on EVs now. At least Ford is dividing their company into two divisions, EV and ICE. I find GMs approach to be pretty extreme.
