It’s impossible to know who or what is behind the constant flow of disinformation on electric transportation, e.g., the graphic at left. Big Oil? QAnon? Other right-wing, anti-environmentalist groups?
In any case, I have a friend who’s been telling me since were teenagers 50 years ago, that EVs only move the source of the emissions from the vehicle to the power plant. Of course, he also told me, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” Yes, he’s given to the types of slogans one encounters on Fox News and the like.
In truth, the phasing out of fossil fuels in our energy and transportation sectors is a boon to our environment, and our efforts to mitigate climate change in particular. This has been shown in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies spanning several decades. Here’s a piece from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency debunking myths on the subject.
Do you think this will change American lives for the better? If so, how?
Rewriting the U.S. Constitution will take some work, as I’m sure you’re aware.
What does the most affluent state in America need in its next governor? I’m pretty sure it not a Trump supporter.
Yes, we have traffic, which we hate. But that’s because everybody and his dog wants to be here for our economic opportunities and our natural beauty.
In general, we reject racism, ignorance, corruption, and environmental destruction.
I can’t swear that the content of the meme here is accurate; in fact, most affluent Scandinavians I run across admit that they pay higher taxes than Americans.
They claim that the attraction is that they aren’t forced to live among uneducated slobs where people are dying of treatable diseases with masses of impoverished people living on the streets.
Isn’t there something to be said for that?
