Abstract
- The article discusses General Motors' (GM) statements about transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) and questions whether these statements are politically motivated to protect profits from gas-powered SUVs and trucks. The author argues that government policies and subsidies for EVs may actually increase global emissions and fossil fuel use. The article also highlights the lack of decline in oil consumption in Norway despite high EV adoption rates. The author suggests that market-driven energy efficiency and slowing population and economic growth are more effective in reducing emissions than government interventions. The article concludes by criticizing the misallocation of funds towards the transition to EVs. [Extracted from the article]
