Gas powered cars are the superior product in terms of cost, effectiveness and utility.

When electric can match that, it will take over, not before then. No amount of subsidizing will change that.

These companies got vast economic benefits, that is simply the truth. That is a massive interference in the market.

In fact direct subisdies to industry in 1980 were more than corporate profits totally more than $100 billion according to Congress' own study.

Gas powered cars don't run in a vacuum, they live in transport system largely made for them.
