There is no screwing the planet or saving it. All technologies have a cost. We manage the costs. The Cost is shifted to the front, middle, or end of any process, and sometimes hidden from the end user depending on what technology is employed.Always get a kick out of those falsely believing that electric cars are environmentally freindly.
They depend on enviromnmentally unfriendly mining. They need electricity that is not enviromnmentally friendly. The manufacturing is not environmentally friendly. They batteries require replacement, again not really enviromnmentally friendly. They require roads which are made from oil products. The use tires made from oil. They use plastics made from oil.
If you live on n the cold northern climates they do not have the heat or range. Charging stations are not readily available and require time out of your travel. All in all a fun to play with article that you can pretend to be helping the environment with.
So if we can't be purer than the driven snow we should give up and screw the planet.
It's a Shell Game, and anyone who believes in Green Energy is just playing a game they just think they are going to win, but the cost is the same, and the operators will just keep taking your money so long as you think you have a chance to win.
