It's true that Engineering and market forces drive innovation. Then if you don't like the word committment let's put it in another way.Our choices shouldn't be between bad and worse! This is a dichotomy that's been forced upon us by the political machines. Anyway, I'm going way off-topic. I only brought up my distrust of the administration's "committment", because you firmly believe that it'll will matter. It won't. We've reached the point where economics (Thanks to Tesla) will drive the renewable energy push and Trump won't be able to stop it. He tried during his administration and will also fail IF he somehow gets a second term. If Biden wins, and renewables become the predominant source of electricity in the US, it won't be because of his presidency!
Government policy doesn't drive innovation. This was made clear by CARB's failed initial EV mandate in 1990! The follow-up mandates would've failed too, if some rich idiot didn't spend all his money to push the engineering (no radical new tech needed to be developed) forward. Engineering and market forces drives innovation.
I love the politicians, independently from their political color, who ease the transition to a Clean Energy future. Because we also need the Government acting in cohoperation with us to work out the Climate Change issue IMO.
