Counter productive to whom? Certainly not oil companies, nor the politicians that represent their interests?

[bluGill]

Not really productive for oil companies either. They can fight, but they can't bring down oil prices enough to compete and consumers are catching on.

Unfortunately they can lobby to prevent cheaper alternatives from being made available

[bluGill]

They can, but lobbies are not all powerful. Congress is always careful about something that could cost votes. There are enough EV owners that they will have a hard time daring make those voters mad.
