Quote	Electric vehicle sales continue to increase, while combustion-engine vehicles still dominate the market. This is what an energy abundance agenda looks like. Texas is living proof that ideological rigidity on energy is self-defeating. Trump's budget bill views the clean energy versus fossil fuel debate as a zero-sum game as opposed to an integrated ecosystem with opportunities for multiple technologies and economic actors to thrive.
