MN has a higher HDI then both Germany and Europe does and a number of other states do to. As far as GINI goes Ukraine has a better index then almost all of the Euro's so how relevant is the Gini? but Ukraine's (along with most countries in Europe) have a GDP PPP then Mississippi, there is massive inequality in Europe unlike the the US, there is a big difference from Germany to Poland to Ukraine. But back to EV's and clean energy, straight up you don't know what your talking about. Beyond just big OEM mfgs like Ford and GM the first tier suppliers like Dana/Spicer, Magna, Borg Warner etc.. are all making massive investments in EV tech, problem is outsiders like yourself don't see it because they aren't making Tik Tok videos every 5 minutes to appeal to children. MISO laid out their plans for the massive expansion of the grid earlier this year is anyone talking about that? The largest wind farm in the country, which is being developed by a Republican Billionaire and could produce 1% of the countries electricity is starting to be built out and the deep water wind turbines paired with the new 15/16/17 MW turbines will start being produced in scale post testing in 2025 then deployed off of both coasts.

So I'm baffled by people who think nothing is getting done and that taxing the shit out of poor people or a carbon tax (that would never pass) would move the needle. The Chokecherry farm has been in development for 15 years, for all the people that are complaining nothing is being done why aren't they doing something? Why isn't AOC sponsoring a massive training program in her district for the 10's thousands of union jobs that will be needed for the massive offshore wind industry?
