Governments don't care about what's reasonable or realistic; just what yields the most favorable optics and makes lobbyists happy. Corporations don't care about what's best for the environment or the customer; just what yields the biggest return as quickly as possible. Make these two parties work together and how do you think this is going to end?
Well, that's good then because no one (that I've seen) is targeting anything faster than this.

But you're right we definitely are going to hit road blocks along the way with respect to government because one side has made it a political position to hinder the advancement of the adoption. That's a pity.
