In yet another proof that, as Quantum Theory predicts, the same reality can be perceived differently by different observers, The Verge's Umar Shakir surveys Republican efforts to thwart the EPA's and the Biden Administration's attempt to coerce Americans into electric vehicles and to further cripple America's economy and electric grid, while harming the environment with expanded mining, refining, and eventual disposal of toxic elements required for EV batteries -- and sees a THREAT to the environment and an affront to "progress" that is, predictably, at least partly about saving the children.
During the run-up to the November election, Republican politicians, led by former President Donald Trump, have seized on electric vehicles as a wedge issue in the ongoing culture wars. As a result, Republican voters routinely express disinterest in buying electric vehicles in recent surveys. Now they’re looking to reverse EPA policies and stifle electric vehicle adoption, despite evidence that robust EV adoption could improve air quality for children.
How dare people choose which vehicle they want to drive!
Or the stove they want to cook on!
What's coming down the pipe for me? Smart water-meters, for out local water supply, which is a spring so large, that it bottles water for most of the Nation - the deal was that Coca-Cola would ensure that local residents could have free water - but hey, the council wants their 'cut'; the local library will be gone. No more public swimming pool, no more recycling station (Where are we supposed to take our rubbish? - and an 18% increase in property-rates that is not reflected in the pay rises for employees - who got only 3%. Oh and inflation is about 20% for food and petrol, bills etc.
They twist and turn the truth like the vipers they are.
EV does not = good for the environment.
For the normies, any vehicle is the sum of its parts. Before manufacturing= really really really bad, after manufacturing really good, after it's useful days are over really bad. Four really bads minus one really good still equals really really really bad for the environment.
Wanna see a liberals' head spin...Ask them who mines the Lithium in Uganda????
There heads will spin when you say it is 2-5 - 10 year old children...
Reason: There eyes are sharper at that age than anytime after that...and the Chinese KNOW THIS!!!!!
Well put fren.
EV"S are not progress...they consume huge amounts of energy to construct...we dont have the infrustructure to support them...and the batterys blow up when wet...never mind the disposal issues of these toxic vehicles...
"For the children" always a fucking lie. Jab those children! SMH
Electric cars are shit cars!
The self driving part is now just making sure your hands are on the wheel and you are looking at the road. You drive your self in a 'self driving car'.
So what is the problem?
Electric vehicles hurt electric vehicle progress.
Snags huh. Call me a major rip in the fabric of your stupid plan. I gotta go get some super high octane gas and see how fast the Camry can go. ;)
