Disagree with you guys.. The guvment IS penalizing the auto industry by choosing this mechanism to reduce fossil feul emissions. The guvment may have done it before (doesn't mean it was the right thing then either).

Let's see you as a company have been unable to compete with a certain kind of product, so you build another version of that product and market it successfully. The guvment decides that your version is the wrong one for the country and will now mandate that it is no longer able to be built (or that to build it you will have to spend resources that your competitor did not). Looks like the guvment is picking the winner to me.
