I would happily drive electric cars and power my house and electronics off solar power if the infrastructure was readily available to support its usage and cost was affordable or highly subsidized.
- jodrellblank 8y agoWell duh; would wouldn't do X if X was affordable and no sacrifice? Everyone would buy fancy new electric cars powered by lithium from exploited natural resources in poor countries, if the cost was affordable and they got a high status Electric Car. Would you, instead, walk 2 hours per day to and from work, in all weathers, in expensive heavy, several times patched, thirty year old woolen clothes, and eat locally sourced vegetarian food, to combat climate change?
- dTal 8y agoIf you don't do it to prevent climate change, you'll eventually be doing it because of climate change. If you survive at all. People who think that's hyper alarmist underestimate how nasty things will get when the harvest fails.
- monk_e_boy 8y agoYeah. A few cities flood, then infrastructure fails. Looting and violence. Panic. People move out ... to where? Now multiply this by a few cities every ten years. It's going to be nasty.
