- smt88 2y agoHelping Trump get elected is the worst thing he could have done to harm the climate.
- Gud 2y agoHow do you figure? Electric cars aren’t really that great for the environment. They still consume extreme amounts of resources. Public transport is what should be promoted, not electric cars. Full disclosure. I invested in TSLA in 2012 and made a substantial amount of money. I think Elon is a solid dude
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoI see solar power + batteries + electric vehicles as a big win for the environment, which explains how we arrived at different conclusions.
- Gud 2y agoI do agree and I also prefer electric vehicles, but this massive usage of personal cars should absolutely be reduced. I live in a country with fantastic public transport and regularly travel 150km+ one way(daily, for weeks). To do this in a car would be insane. To do this in comfort on a train is amazing. Don't conflate "electric vehicle" with "personal carriage". My colleagues wonder how I can spend so much time commuting and don't stay in a hotel like they do. That's because they think like car people. Because 3 hours in car is torture. Being away from your family 5 days a week is preferable to them. Sure, traveling so much is not ideal, but my point is that trains can be far, far superior to cars. Cars only make sense last mile and in rural areas, in my opinion. - Electric Trains - Electric Trams - Electric buses - Electric cars - Electric Airplanes ... etc ...
