It's bad therefore it's unpopular.
My argument has been consistently that if we're going to use supposedly cheap green energy, it needs to actually be cheap and not just "well he said it's cheap". My proposal on that has been stuff like hydroelectric (and Canada has lots of hydroelectric), so people want to use the electric instead of dealing with the pain in the ass of fossil fuels for home use.
And if we're going to use electric vehicles, then they need to have a value proposition that isn't just "it's not as good as a shitbox from 20 years ago but it is a lot more expensive and you'll feel morally righteous". My proposal for that value proposition has been to go smaller and cheaper and more limited.
