People can have different opinions. My opinion is that we have been making Saudi Arabia RICH for, at least, 80 years. The US has the most ICE vehicles in the world so we are the ones MOSTLY making them RICH. And they are NOT our allies. So, it is patriotic for the US to switch away from ICE vehicles and equipment and toward EV equipment. People can start small with electrical weed eaters, electrical lawn mowers, E riding mowers, E-golf carts, E-bikes and later work their way up to electrical cars and trucks.

That way we can eliminate oil dependence on the Middle East and lower the use of US oil, which can be used for a large list of commercial products. That would allow the US oil supply to last longer, while avoiding the entanglements of Middle East war potential and help Europe from being dependent on Russian oil.

All these international affairs are intertwined with the US's switch from ICE petroleum products to E-products.
