>I give up on the clean energy narrative from America. If the goal is clean energy, then why are our leaders warning about Chinese EVs eating the world?

Goomba fallacy[1]. Within the Democratic party at least, there are at least 3 camps with different reasons for supporting/opposing EVs:

1. environmentalists, who want to reach net zero ASAP

2. "made in America" types, who want to keep encourage/retain domestic manufacturing because they think they're a source of good blue collar jobs

3. china hawks, who want to stifle china's rise
