No, I still won't buy an EV. EVs are being forced down or throat to, again, have customers make another buy in the name of the earth. Tax the fuck out of China, India, USA for being the biggest polluters, then tax the fuck out of carbon emissions for the largest emitters. Then you tax the fuck out of SUVs and useless large vehicles. Only then you can go after the combustion engine, which is at its peak efficiency and lowest pollution.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoHow do you impose taxes on other countries without taking them over first? Sounds like more trouble than it’s worth. It’s like getting Mexico to pay for a wall the USA is building. China and India have way over a billion people each and still pollute less than the USA on a per capita basis. If you want them to take responsibility for moral reasons, your moral high ground isn’t very high.
- thefz 3y agoYeah like ostracizing trade towards a foreign country has never been done.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYes, but that generally involves cutting off your own nose to spite your hand. I assume parent wanted to punish these countries without also punishing Americans.
