I don’t buy that this is an either/or situation. One example that comes to mind is the improvements in the efficiency of gasoline powered vehicles while electric vehicle production is ramping up. I think we’re better off that there was a huge push for making ICEs more efficient when electric vehicles were still in its infancy (I can’t prove this but I don’t think throwing more money at Tesla or other companies could have significantly sped up their timeline)

But that's not what the US delegation is doing: they're promoting coal power solutions

Coal is probably the worst. They should promote the AP1000 rather than coal.

But the Trump administration is reducing the fuel economy standards, not increasing them. Were you really not aware of that?
