Pin pointing EVs for wood is pretty dumb, imo. A lot more wood is used for housing and furniture. There’s also a lot of plastic in cars, a lot more than the wood used to put up… what’s the article angry about? Oh… power lines.
Just reality. I thought it was pretty clear but I’ll say it anyway, it’s angry about deforestation, with a particular emphasis on old trees, hundreds, setumes thousand year old lynchpins in an already devastated ecosystems.
As I have never actually seen a local power line (and the high voltage ones obviously don’t use wood), can I get some feedback which countries actually use overland lines using wood for their local grid?
(Also @WarmSoda…)
America. It’s an enormously huge country with a lot of infrastructure built in waves as people moved west across it. Huge amounts of small towns and cities everywhere that built thier grids using poles and just haven’t upgraded since because of the cost of replacing all of it and burying two centuries of cable.
There’s also large areas where burying electric cables just isn’t feasible for various reasons. It’s not a simple change.
