There were people back in the day who said government forcing auto manufacturers to cut their exhaust emissions would certainly kill the auto industry. Boy were they wrong then and boy does the air smell better now.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Generally, when the government mandates a technology before it is ready the regulations have to be rolled back or the companies cheat with the bureaucrats looking the other way. The diesel emission scandal involving almost every diesel vehicle maker is a good example of what happens when emission regulations are too strict to make a vehicle economic.

So tell us why you think they made those promises and why you think they made them without any concern to actually fulfilling them. We'll get teh popcorn.
Same reason every politician make promises they have no intention of keeping: to get approval. Why would promises made by a politician 10 years in the future be given credence when we know that most promises made by politicians for the next 4 years are lies?
