Electric vehicles

Get a gawdamn job! Or not. I'm not working. Haven't for quite awhile. And, if I can figure out how to live on a pittance going forward I won't ever work again!!! Bosses suck donkey parts. Jobs are punishment. Careers are rare. None of that shit is my dream, it's their dream. Still, if I were you? I'd get a gawdamn job!

2/3 of the electricity generated on Earth is made by burning fossil fuels, plant and reclaim trashes, forestry wood and coal.

That Electricity that you use to charge an electric vehicle is raising the atmospheric Co² worse than if you drove a Corvette.

If all cars were changed into EVs like magic overnight, the grid could never power them all and if it did there would be ten times more global Co² being generated than now.

EVs have a purpose. I like them for user in short hop city transport they make sense. They make no sense as daily drivers for medium distance or long distance freeway use.

Plus they're extra heavy because of the batteries, wreck the roads faster and are battering rams in accidents.

Just so everyone knows. They're not as great as the corporate morons and government dummys are claiming they are. They're just looking at the profit motive. They don't care about the problems with them.

@SteelHands Ev's are a green-washers dream. They also give oil companies a convenient way to change away from being oil companies into 'diversified' businesses. Same old corporate oil greed with a different flavour. And unfortunately for Musk he has been the 'early adopter' which all the other auto makers have enjoyed because they get to profit from what is now semi-proven technology and Musk's Tesla business will be 'just another car maker' not something unique.
