Climate-change movement very lucky that @ElonMusk, the major US builder of EVs, has become a figure on the right. Should be easier to get the tech adopted.

I’m just saying there’s a danger. Already an anti-green backlash in UK. https://t.co/cphCWfsn7K Why not just let the transition happen organically. The more Biden pushes it and crows about it the greater the chance the red tribe will push back. https://t.co/SoCQahX3EY
