- CogentHedgehog 6y agoSo you're saying the 1% of people driving electric cars should pay for the climate change caused by the 99% that are not?
- GreenWatermelon 6y agoThe 99% of people who drive ICEs and can afford an EV should get one. Many good things are unpopular. Shutting down coal mining operations is unpopular with miners. Staying at home to avoid spreading a disease is unpopular, but we have to do it anyway because it's important. Switching to EVs is important for slowing down climate change, and should be incentived (incentivised?). What those 2 Australian states did translates directly into accelerated Climate change and Coastal cities sinking.
