I don't understand this obsession against electric cars. I can generate and store my own solar power at home and power my vehicle that starts out with higher manufactured emissions, but is much less polluting after its first 13,000 miles, even from coal power, as efficiency of power generation at scale is way higher. And we are just beginning. My next solar farm will be larger, my next car more efficient, and companies like Straubel's Redwood Materials are growing and will one day eliminate rare earth mining, making this a no contest improvement on mile 1.

The lefties thought this was wonderful too, then Tesla refused pay to play politics, are creating American manufacturing mastery again....the result? TESLA gets ignored at Biden EV summit and excluded from full tax credits (ie made less competitive) given to UAW manufacturers.

This shouldn't be awakened vs woke, lib vs conservative, another false dichotomy everyone is falling for. Yes EVs are the better technology, they accidentally point people towards a future of individual energy independence. All this photo shows is that some idiot forgot how to hear and see all of the trip notices from the car, refuses to get towed, and is using a generator in a rare case, not a base case.

In a world where everyone has their own acreage, with geothermal heating, solar power, battery storage, and an EV, the government would lose all control. People could grow their own food or specialize and trade locally. In this utopia, local community is king, not fruit from Mexico, oil from OPEC, and power from Canada. EVs are an important peice of this puzzle.

Sorry for the rant, but I just want my frens to rethink the dichotomy and propaganda from both libs and cons on this stuff.
