Could we please not use personal accusations like these? I disagree with your viewpoint, fine. To point at that as if this must mean it is an unreasonable and naive opinion, without giving any factual back-up of your own viewpoint isn't going to get us anywhere.
> It costs energy and resources to scrap a car and to produce and distribute its replacement so this should be taken into account.
- the scrapping of said car is an eventual cost regardless
- the replacement is not another car
- mytailorisrich 6y agoI don't understand the reason for arguing and turning aggressive here. My only viewpoint is to reserve judgement on these policies if the facts are not known and to state that governments do not always make fact-based decisions on these issues (all issues in fact) because these are difficult and technical issues and that politics dictates a level of showing that something (anything) is done. If this policy is indeed fact-based then very good. If it is, and will be, assessed on clearly defined metrics then even better.
