This is why we need laws against IC engines. People obsessed with dollars and cents and missing the fact that we are killing this planet.

- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoIt's people's obsessions with dollars and cents that will provide the incentive to actually save the planet. Or, you could just see what the superior attitude gets you.
- meetingthrower 3y agoBut I think this attitude actually creates the MAGA folks. It should (and can) deliver on economics AND outcomes. And this needs to be done upstream of consumer, or we are just putting another tax on the poorest part of our population. I'm all for electric, but thinking we are missing a huge opportunity during the 30-50 year transition to cut gas use in half TODAY with hybrids. And this eliminates all the range anxiety excuses as well. Right now, EV users are the very rich. EV users actually have MORE cars on average, and tend to drive their EVs less than their ICE cars. They have a house to charge their car in at night. (I know there are many anecdotes that will give counter examples. But this is what the data say on average.) We need a way to get to the rest of the population.
