Considering fossil fuel prices lately thats a really good thing I guess. More and more people will switch as used but good range electric cars are becoming fairly cheap. This era should have started much earlier, we are at least fifteen years too late (where we are now should have happened around 2010). But its better to switch later than never.

If I'm not mistaken, forecasts are saying that demand for fossil energy wlll decline soon. Oil product demand peaked in 2022, Gas consumption had a decline in Europe of over ten percent. I'd say electric cars are an important piece of the puzzle. Interesting to notice that Chinese seem to become the best at it (building really good and affordable electric cars).

The US is simply giving the market away. Interestingly, I count Three separate times that General Motors engaged in major efforts to make, market, and sell electric vehicles - and it failed three times. Such incompetence leads to very bad consequences. Ford is doing no better, while Tesla has excommunicated itself.

Rule of Law? What does it mean in general?

In general, this is the notion that people can agree to live within certain limitations in order to guarantee a better living place for all. And generally this works quite well when the parameters are reasonable and there is some mechanism for enforcement. The was the The International Court of Justice, which looked promising until the US decided it did not like the constraints. And the UN Security Council, which has been similarly ignored.

If the major powers had abided by the principles of these international institutions, and worked to bring about enforcement of abridgements, we would have a much better world today.
