@SpaceJellyfish @davidho Asks for source for the number, gets one, keeps dismissing it without providing an alternate source. Great behavior there, I'm sure you will convince a lot of people with this strategy. The US is doing OK for renewables, most countries in the world are doing worse just because of the lack of resources to invest. I wouldn't bet any other country is producing far more per capita from renewables except China and a couple of European ones, at best. 4 comments
@SpaceJellyfish @davidho I could be mixing up aggregate vs. per-capita, but I have to repeat my symmetrical challenge for you to provide sources for your stated numbers like I did for mine. Also, I'm pretty sure you skipped over where I said LIFETIME emissions. No car in existence on this planet has 0 grams CO2eq emissions, lifetime total, including production of all of its parts. None. Not a single one. @abm0 @davidho Generally it is not other people's duty to debunk a claim but the claimer's to prove theirs. That has not been done yet, the claim being: "EVs only reduce lifetime emissions to about 40% vs. a fossil car," That depends on a lot of things and is only (if at all) correct for a country with supersized cars and a very bad renewable energy ratio. Saying BEVs emit 0 grams GHG/km and are made in factories powered by renewable energies is just as correct. |

@abm0 @davidho My car emits 0 grams GHG/km (Edit: apart from maintenance). And many others do so. The production was in a Chinese factory that runs on renewables.
"I wouldn't bet any other country is producing far more per capita from renewables except China and a couple of European ones, at best."
You'd loose. 125 countries do so.
Edit: Also, the EPA is a national organization that not that long ago was "aligned". Better go with peer reviewed papers one can find in the respective journals.
