      A policy decision would be to mandate that no new cars use combustion by the end of the decade and for the government to use its regulatory powers to approve electrical grid infrastructure project, approve new nuclear plants asap, and incentivize the creation of battery recycling businesses, such as through making alternative energy companies tax free entities instead of mega churches.

It could be a policy to provide distributions of money on a cadence, however I don’t feel that would be as good of a policy as one that doesn’t cost anything directly and enables companies to proceed at something good for society expediently.
