>Because the green movement is largely made up of socialists

Okay, and where are they getting their political clout and funding? I believe in following the money. Where does the money come from?

>I don’t think it’s accurate to assume auto manufacturers have a financial interest in opposing the end of fossil fuels.

Auto manufacturers certainly have a financial interest in private automobile ownership, don't you think?

Sorry, why are their sources of funding relevant? If they’re in power or have influence, it could largely be a grassroots movement and it doesn’t matter?

Financial interest in private automobile ownership sure, but not opposing the end of fossil fuels. I didn’t claim they’re completely aligned, the real world is complex.

Grassroots movements don't have power or influence unless they are supported by a majority of the public, in which case it hardly seems like a "They want to force us out of cars" conspiracy being forced onto an unwitting public.
