Matt Ferrell should stick with his day job of GUI designer. The video opens with a lie and then proceeds to blabber about finance and money, money, money. Sunsetting the EV subsidy does not make an EV $7,500 more expensive. That's a lie. Same for rooftop solar and utility scale wind and solar. Ferrell is telling straight up that these alternative energy technologies can't make it without a government sugar daddy. And talking about investors only means Ferrell expects to get a piece of the government's sugar daddy handouts for doing absolutely nothing.
Ferrell is pushing more of the 'trickle down', 'money works for you', 'get rich at the government trough' pabulum we've heard for the last 40 years. And Ferrell is so blatantly dishonest about his advocacy. He flashes a headline about subsidies for metallurgical coal to lambast fossil fuels. Does Ferrell understand that metallurgical coal is necessary to refine silicon? You cannot make solar panels without metallurgical coal or petroleum coke.
Ferrell is not advocating to produce anything. Ferrell is not advocating for alternative energy. Ferrell is not warning about the consequences of climate change. The only thing Ferrell wants government money spent on things he is interested in and likely invested in. The whole presentation is about finance, profits, and money, money, money. Ferrell bemoans the loss of all that free government money. Ferrell is feeds off climate change hype to get his hands on government money. And we have to sit through his personal advertising to learn that Ferrell is just another financial parasite taking government money and delivering a shoddy result.

Of course it does, math is math.

Let's see the oil & gas industry try to operate without government subsidies.
The government subsidizes oil in various forms, primarily through tax breaks and other financial incentives.
Math should not be a new frontier. Subsidies should be available to all or none, equally.
Most Americans are aware of EV subsidies, because Big Oil makes a lot of noise about them. Most Americans are UNaware of fossil fuel subsidies because Big Oil never even acknowledges that they exist.
These subsidies - both of them - are shell games. Americans pay taxes. Duh. Part of that tax money goes for subsidies to both EVs and ICEs. Is this stupidly inefficient? Yes, of course! But Big Oïl likes Americans not knowing how much they actually pay for fossil fuel - $10 to $15 / gallon, depending on how one accounts (or doesn't) for environmental damage clean-up.
For info: gas is $7.39/gal in France today... not that I bought any... because we drive an EV here!!
With Trumpy in charge, America doesn't stand a chance of keeping up with any form of science. The 2025 owned science denier will have us back in the dark ages with the Heartland Institute before long.
I first came to the internet to fight the Heartland Institute and their denial of anthropogenic global warming. A bunker busting bomb should be dropped on them.
