The other 99.9% is still another material that needs to be dug up and that material will become worthless too as batteries advance.
You are better off letting EVs take off naturally when battery tech leads, not a government based push of EVs and govt crush of petroleum vehicles.
Yeah and the metals that go into a combustible engine are picked from trees.
You may want to look up the subsidies oil companies receive before you talk about a government based push for EVs.
Remove government from both. That includes heavy regulations on ICE and direct funding on solar, wind, evs. Petroleum will be cheaper.
Also, we have seen from the previous admin that gasoline can be cheaper.
You wouldn't say that if you knew anything about oil subsidies. Plus the fact that they have been receiving them for almost a century to ensure the infrastructure was even possible to build. It does not makes sense to drill oil, ship it around the world, refine it, then ship it around the world again. The cost without a century of subsidies would be like $1000/gal. There is a reason why gas is cheaper then milk, and water in some cases.
