 I have gotten the impression over the last year that the fossil fools are expending a lot of effort towards turning Americans away from EVs towards ICEVs so-called hybrid vehicles. I'll let y'all in on a secret that they want to keep from you. We have to stop burning fossil fuels just as quickly as we possibly can and putting a fossil fuel burning engine into new vehicles is not helping towards that necessary goal to address the existential crisis we're facing. 18 comments
 FUN FACT The only thing better than any vehicles is NO VEHICLES. And since no one is going to go there - WHERE WE HAVE TO BE - we will not survive the idea that we cant live without vehicles. @LaNaehForaday The only way possible to get the decarbonization done that we need in the short time we have left is to tackle it politically. And telling people that they cannot continue to own cars is not a politically popular proposal so it's less than worthless to focus on it. Do you have any idea how long it would take to build out a rail system in the USA? Walk when/where you can. eBike/eScooter where/when you can't walk but can 2 (or 3) wheel. Take public transit where/when you can't walk or 2/3-wheel. Drive an EV where/when you can't walk, 2/3-wheel or take public transit. @LaNaehForaday @joeinwynnewood After spending decades working to try to save our planet from global warming, I'm quite used to being disliked by people online and in person over my efforts. @GreenFire So what part of "I like you" means I dislike you. And kudos for doing all that you do. But dont come ramming false truth down the throat of someone who ias been just as dedicated as you have been. And dont expect me to believe you because you want to pretend its not too late already. Because I know that YOU know that it is and all we can hope for now is to gain a little time and mitigate the upcoming climate disasters. @LaNaehForaday Doomism is doing as much to block climate action as are the efforts of the fossil fuel industry, but of course everyone is free to push whatever narrative floats their boats. @kathhayhoe @MichaelEMann @GreenFire The entire problem is that even the people that seriously know we are in peril continue to sugar coat it. Go for it! In the meantime, Ill continue to what I can on a personal level which is more than most. @LaNaehForaday Sugar coat away......................... Ill deal with the realism while watching everyone dance with the fairies. @LaNaehForaday @GreenFire True, but… We can and should build out an infrastructure that makes individual vehicular travel the exception rather than the norm. We had this once upon a time, but Big Auto ruined it. @GreenFire It is sad that people don't see hybrids are just slightly more efficient gas powered cars. They won't run without gas, so they're just gas powered cars. @Bluedonkey @GreenFire When Toyota did that disingenuous ’charge while you drive’ ad I was outraged at the blatant disinformation. I was also shocked that the people near and dear to me were indifferent and didn’t see a problem - mainly because they didn’t really understand.  @GreenFire also they try to remain relevant by pushing towards hydrogen - production of which is currently using fossil fuels, often of the bad quality, and producing more pollution than what a car running on gasoline would have produced. @rekle |
