    Electric cars aren’t significant. It’s just a way for people to feel “green” while not changing their habits or adressing the actual issue of climate change. He has harmed society by hoarding money like a dragon just like every other rich fuck.

      With respect to cars, we could do so much better just by keeping the ones we have for as long as we can, rather than buying new ones every time the warranty runs out. Buying a new electric vehicle when your car works fine as-is won’t help the planet.

        We could just keep driving gas guzzlers while strictly regulating those industries which poison our planet, and climate change would be no longer. Passenger vehicles were never the problem, and EVs are just another business.

        Electric trains and buses are much more sustainable

          Exactly. The cars are nowhere near as bad as all the industries slowly choking the life out of our planet, and the EV industry (ironically enough) is merely contributing to it. The only reason we’re forced to bear the climate burden is because inconveniencing the voter is far easier than telling lobbyists to fuck off with their billions.
