Now I never closely looked into this as I never planned on owning a car, but until then just from what I picked up reading newspapers and things (in Germany), I actually assumed they were the more environmentally friendly option.
- robertlagrant 4y agoIt just depends on whether you want CO2 (bad for planet) or NOx and particulates (bad for nearby humans). With ICE cars you just have to choose.
- Semaphor 4y agoNothing I read back then (again, without going deep) had that kind of granularity. It was all bad vs good ;)
- robertlagrant 4y agoYes, quite. That's what happens when "journalism" becomes a generic thing you can study, instead of experts in a field becoming journalists in that field. All your news sources barely know what they're writing about. Old man rant over.
