- dopidopHN 3y agoWhat is wrong in the original statement ? EV can be nice, while not being the silver bullet that solve our climate emergency.
- faeriechangling 3y agoThere’s less corporations than there are people.
- dopidopHN 3y agoOne concrete factory corporation will output astronomically more than a familly of human
- jdlshore 3y ago1. I’m not convinced this is true. Yes, electric cars have environmental costs, but so does everything. How confident are you that solving climate requires reducing car ownership, rather than just benefiting from it, and what evidence do you have? 2. I believe emphasizing car reduction is a political non-starter in the US, due to the way cities are designed and car-centric culture, so taking this attitude is more likely to harm emissions than help it. It will turn off people who might otherwise be willing to make an incremental change for the better. Electric cars are a net gain over combustion cars, even if they aren’t perfect. 3. We can shift to electric cars and reduce car ownership.
- lm28469 3y agoJust run the numbers of mining requirements and you'll see it's impossible to begin with. There won't be 1.5b EVs anytime soon, if ever, that's the number of gas powered vehicles used on earth This is just perpetuating the myth that we can consume and grow indefinitely despite living in a very finite environment, one more cycle, rince and repeat. If the plan is "business as usual but pinky promise this time it's green" you know for sure it's shit
- signatoremo 3y agoThat’s the wrong approach. Netherlands, the country with the best cycling infrastructure and cycling culture, still have significant car ownership, and more importantly, it is still growing: there will be about 10 million cars in the Netherlands by 2040. That amounts to 524 cars per 1,000 inhabitants, 24 more than two years ago. [0] Go to any resident areas of Netherlands, there are many more cars than you would expect. A myth has grown up about the Dutch being enthusiastic cyclists who live in green cities and rarely drive. In reality, the majority of journeys are made by motorized vehicles and people who live car-free are in a small and shrinking minority - [1] Major changes to society will be needed before meaningful reduction of car ownership can be expected. EV is a much better bet in the mean time. [0] - https://techzle.com/car-ownership-in-the-netherlands-continues-to-increase https://techzle.com/car-ownership-in-the-netherlands-continu...
