    I meant members of the general public.

    I could care less about their fake CO2 theory/scam, but do care about getting the US out of the middle east and endless wars.

    I think many - perhaps a majority? - of the residents of the US are in favor of using EV, renewable energy, etc. But we don't write the laws, the lobbyists who make large contributions do.
