This just feels so money-lobbied to me by the US auto industry. Objectively, here we have a nation that is pushing for green energy by having their government subsidize it, something that every nation on Earth should be doing in order to collectively meet climate goals. This is a net positive for the whole world. We should be moving more toward green energy than not, and if this accelerates it, then all the better?

I understand if people are concerned whether the cars are up to standard, built well, have good reparability and convenient repair garages. But this doesn't seem to factor in here, just that profits are hurt for US car companies because they have been outcompeted.

Free-market ideology is great as long as you are the winner in it. Just as human rights and rules-based order are great as long as it's your enemies that are on the wrong side of it.

It isn't a free market when a government is giving billions in subsidies outside of direct to consumer subsidies for their own manufacturing products

Biden needs Michigan voters. That's all this is about.
