Carbon credits where open to any companies, so it wasn't a unfair subsidy.

EV incentives where also not limited to us companies.

Every country distorts its markets in different ways. It's still silly to pretend the US is free of these kinds of distortions.

That's just whataboutism that ignores the order of magnitude scale differences of the subsidies that were provided in China in the original comment.

It's really not. No serious analysis reduces the complexity of markets to a single number in a single sector. In particular, it takes willful blindness to look at subsidies in the EV market and ignore other energy markets.

You're also ignoring the most important point, my last point about values. The comment is still up, feel free to re-read it.
