The automotive industry is only reacting to continued regulations and threats from the government as far as emissions and fuel mileage goes. The government wants to transition us to green energy and they have been talking about it for years. They have been threatening to shut down any fossil fuel usage or production here also. In the meantime, after they shut it down we will still need it here until we are totally green they will go back to buying what we need from foreign countries that do not like us in the first place and prices will go up.
