I'm not. I believe in people setting good examples. Electric cars like Tesla sell are still completely unsustainable and enormous sources of CO2 and pollutants.

I'm not. I believe in people setting good examples. Electric cars like Tesla sell are still completely unsustainable and enormous sources of CO2 and pollutants. They are doing nothing for the larger car problem that we have. Arguably they make it even worse.
- tirant 2y agoSetting a good example by driving an EV, that is right, but what is the alternative for short and quick flights ? At the moment electric airfare is not yet developed so availability is not there. Everything we manufacture is unsustainable, but some are more than unsustainable than others. EV manufacturing is preferable to ICE. We need to accept that if we want to keep humans on this planets and out of poverty and hunger we need to use our environment in our favor with some degree of unsustainability, there’s no way out of it. The large car problem is only a problem in cities, and should be addressed there. Countries like Netherlands address it really well: bikes and pedestrians get the space they deserve and cars are isolated in their own infrastructure.
