Yeah good question. And no problem, also reminds me that I replied to
SteVTEC but wasn't trying to single them out either.
A nudge in a particular direction, very slightly tilting the playing field might be OK. If (and only if) a vast majority of evidence and analysis says that it's the right way to go. But not too quickly, or we see the issues that come up. All issues are solvable eventually, and even if nothing changes we'll get through it and emerge on the other side. But with 100's of millions of people, perhaps billions when including other countries, with varying needs for cars and uses, varying abilities to buy cars, and so on I would agree we're going too quickly. The issues are coming up a little faster than it seems fair for people to deal with. What the right speed is though, I don't know.
