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.
What former labor secretary Robert Reich says at left is exactly what I believe.
First of all, the idea that the Democratic party has turned into the “radical left” is pure GOP propaganda.
In any case, you either support American democracy, rule of law, truth, and the well-being of the common person, or you don’t. There really is no middle ground.
I can’t see it, if he means a national office. Why? He’s an ardent and outspoken Trump supporter.
Support of Trump wasn’t a political non-starter until his second term, but now the screwworm and the algae in the Reflecting Pool have higher approval ratings.
I thought the cartoon below was clever.
Makes us wonder how much more appetite Americans have for this insanity.
