Coral, I'm kind of thinking as you're talking here about EVs about Elon Musk, who is, of course, the CEO of Tesla, which is this premier electric car company. And as of late, Trump's in some ways right hand man. So it seems like as the head of this company, he'd be a powerful opponent to this idea. Like he would not want Trump to rip up this Biden stuff when it comes to EVs. You would think so.

Not what I was expecting.

What else, Coral, is Trump proposing here? You mentioned wind. Yeah.

But what does Trump gain from doing this to wind? I mean, aside from sticking it to Biden.

So, Coral, listening to you talk, it really feels like Trump's vision for this American energy future is essentially an effort to wipe away the last four years of what the climate movement had achieved.

So, Coral, you just said that there's a big question about how much of this very ambitious agenda Trump is actually going to be able to do. So let's go through this bit by bit, Coral. So where should we start in terms of whether this is going to work?

And what about EVs? What can Trump do on that front?

Is there any way that Trump can take action here, Coral, on EVs without Congress? Like, what can he do?

So he could do it, but it could take his entire term.

Yes. Okay, so taken all together, even if Trump can only get some of these EV plans done, his push against EVs is presumably pretty good for automakers generally, right? Like less regulation is probably a good thing?
