Armaroli attributes the crisis to a combination of factors: inadequate European policies, Asian competition, delays in the adoption of electric vehicles, and changes in consumer behavior.

The transition, while presenting challenges related to raw material extraction, is considered feasible and necessary for a sustainable future.
