Kicking the can

Reader comment on: The Tesla Subsidy

Submitted by Andrew Terhune (United States), Aug 2, 2017 10:51

The real money quote is, "pledging to end the sale of new gas and diesel cars by 2040." Who will remember nearly a quarter century from now who made what promises? Which of these politicians will still be in positions of influence or power, or even alive? I treat any promise by a politician that is more than a few years out - when the promisor can still be held accountable - with a great deal of skepticism.

I promise to exercise more and eat better, by 2040. Believe me?
