    While I agree with your sentiments about EV’s. Like oil, we live in a world where there will still be people that want to drive - electric or ICE engines. We might as well benefit on these resources we have an abundance of.

      We also live in a world where there will always be a practical need for non-mass transit vehicles. Contractors, delivery vehicles, and people in rural areas are some of the more obvious examples.

      We don’t have an abundance of rare earth metals, which we need loads of for EV’s. It’s also something which gives China loads of power as they are the world’s biggest supplier.
