You’re right, I left that out. Yes, coal is often stripped mine. I guess the difference is that nobody is really claiming that mining coal is a clean operation.OK,, whats that got to do with the deceptive way he posted a picture of a manacured lawn against pictures of strip mines??
why didnt he post pictures of all the oil spills with the wildlife soaked in crude oil??
and I guess youre OK with a strip mine if its something you agree with but not when you dont,,
The actual deception is for the anti coal activists to harp on the dirtiness of coal while, pretendingthat electric power is cleaner. If that meme is deceptive, it is no more so then the claims of the electric vehicle proponents.
My question was really about the science, though. Not so much about the photograph.
Surely, you are not talking about Tesla?the free market was working hard on EVs long before democrats and republicans stuck their noses in it and started mandating it,,
the richest man in the world is proof of that,,
That company got a $465 million preferential loan from the department of energy in 2010. That sounds awfully like Republicans and Democrats sticking their noses into it.
Tessa also receives “regulatory credits“ in the billions. It can sell them to other companies who have not made enough electric vehicles to get the credits. That sounds like Republicans and/or Democrats.
Not to mention the huge government contracts for SpaceX, that also helped him be the richest man in the world.
Not to mention that people who buy electric cars are heavily subsidized by the government also. When you have government subsidizing both the manufacturer, and the purchase, of a product, crediting the free market with its popularity is pretty preposterous.
