That’s exactly what you just did when you said electric cars would be ‘ok’. In 2015 less than 25% of power was renewable generated in U.K.
So pardon me, but my problem isn’t with your lack of understanding on the topic - it’s that you have strong and seemingly contradictory opinions that directly relate to what should and shouldn’t be “taxed out of existence”.
I might be more forgiving if you say what you mean up front instead of moving goal posts.
In this case, I think your original post you should have said “I think only rich people should be allowed to drive in London”.
- esotericn 8y agoI support carbon taxes as well. Crazy how far steelmanning can get you.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoSo by moving the goal posts, never being able to technically support your opinions, and being generally ignorant on the topic you have strong “everyone needs do as I say” opinions about... Has someone explained that to you as what a “steelman” argument is?
- esotericn 8y agoI don't think that people need do as I say at all. I think that the externalities of private ICE cars should be priced in. It is absurd that I can drive an ICE car about in London for an hour for less than the cost of a pint.
