Do you just hate EV's? Or are you truly worried about pollution? It's ok to just hate EV's... Just don't try to make it seem like you're worried about pollution.

Of course I'm worried about pollution, no one wants to live in a dirty world, but forcing people to use a questionable solution to the problem is tyranny, when the market decides, then I'm all in.

Energy, propulsion dependant of weather has always been less than dependable. Pushing us towards solar, wind has obvious pitfalls. My concern is that few are addressing these pitfalls. The sun goes down and the wind stops. Simplistic, yep. Where are the solutions?

All in EV's have a larger carbon footprint.

I do hate EVs, but on a logical level if they were better I would concede.

Sadly they are worse on almost every front. It just doesn't make any sense outside of the fact people are making money off of it.

It's crazy that this lie has made it this far.

We won't even get into the fact that no one has an electrical grid that can support a total EV nation even if it were better. I guess that will come carbon and cost free somehow as well...
