I still feel that only EV is not the answer. You have also get the electricity somewhere so some investment in modern nucler power plants and fusion would be even better then just blindly pushing EVs.

- thinkcontext 7y agoTo get to zero carbon emissions we'll need both zero carbon transportation and zero carbon electricity. $100B's are being invested in zero carbon electricity, so your suggestion that EVs are taking away from that are mistaken. As for nuclear, the US and Europe have been unable to build plants that do not go 3x+ over budget and time.
- belltaco 7y agoThe electricity produced in Norway is 95% hydroelectric, so it makes all the sense to push EVs there.

Plus, as a Model 3 owner, it's really great car.
