Do you think oil companies will have a waning influence on US transportation policy in the future?
Some oil companies are divesting into renewable energy but by and large they're staying in the oil biz.

Definitely, I think their current influence is massively overstated by people who don’t realize how much people just like driving everywhere.

They'll merge, buy out, or diversify in various market sectors to maintain themselves. Their policy steering goals might change because of that, though. Boring/10

oil companies investing into renewable energy is a meme. it's a publicity stunt. They're selling themselves as innovators for a brighter future but only a minuscule fraction of their research and development is actually used to study alternative energy sources.

As cars get more fuel efficient and electric vehicles proliferate we’ll have to introduce new kinds of tax to support our current road networks, and drivers are wont to pay such taxes.

If by "future" you mean "the far distant hypothetical year when someone actually invents an electric car that doesn't suck ass" then possibly.

>>1584204
Yes, THAT'S the reason.

I think many Americans are feeling a sense of fatigue about highways and car infrastructure in general; we already have so much of it and the traffic problem doesn’t get any better. So they’re looking for something else.

kind of, i have this autistic obsession of a utopia where everyone drove a low car with a large greenhouse and no headrests or window tint of any kind and they kept their glass immaculately clean, so people can see through all the cars and see what is going on ahead of them for miles.

No. They are going to make mad dollars refuelling EV charging stations.

They did the same thing near Seattle. Four high speed charging stations in an Albertson's parking lot. Diesel genset inside a fence to power them. Utilities are running into limits for high speed charging here.

I'd be willing to make a wager of up $10000 that the USA will not become any of the three of communist, technocratic, or a dictatorship within the next 10 years.

We were coming dangerously close to a dictatorship with Trump. He almost pulled it off, too. Fortunately a few republicans showed they still have spines.

china calls itself a communist country, vietnam too.
A dictatorship is easy enough to disprove because Biden wont be president in 8 years.
The usa will never be a technocracy because its populace is afraid of change and criminally under educated.

I’m so glad solar and wind are the fastest growing sources of energy in the US and coal plants are closing everywhere. We don’t need that fossil fuel horseshit.

It’s gonna be awesome when you can buy a house with a solar roof and charge your own car. Complete independence.
