People are literally dropping dead in a climate change driven 48C heat wave in India, and right wing people are wondering how many libs they will trigger with their I heart oil bumper stickers.
Rolling coal in their emotional support trucks will give them cancer, too. And more prolonged exposure relative to the amount subjected to the rest of us, “to own the libs.”
How do you think electricity gets made for your electric car? And how about them batteries. Your position is hypocritical.
Thank you for your genuine interest in electricity generation in my local area. The electricity mix where I’m from is a combination of wind, nuclear, and hydro electric. In emergencies we have a backup combustion system that will kick in. My power company publishes a neato dashboard all about it, it’s actually at most 1/6th and usually 1/12th or lower g/MWH CO2 VS coal fired power production.
But curiously enough, even if it were run entirely on coal, my electric car would still produce much less CO2 over its lifespan, and have the potential to get cleaner as grids improve, since gasoline is so much more CO2 intense and Ice engines are so mature without much more room for serious efficiency gains.
I’m super glad you were curious enough to ask me such open ended questions, and really happy that my work in this area gave me the knowledge to answer your obviously genuine questions. Now you can be proud to know something you didn’t know a few minutes ago becuase of your open mindedness.
Not even close to true. Propaganda talk. Also, good luck when the power goes out. Just stop the nonsense.
Funnily enough, gas pumps require electricity. However, you can generate electricity yourself with solar panels, wind generation, or other methods. You can’t generate your own gasoline.
The self-reliant durable solution is electric. If the grid is down and you can’t generate your own electricity then your gas heating is down, gas pumps are out, and almost any other gas system is shut down unless they’re hooked up to a generator of some kind (gas, solar, etc.). If you can generate electricity then any will work. If you can’t then electric is out of commission just as much as gas. Once the tank/battery is empty then it’s dead.

Solar power isn’t there yet. You’re depending on a future dream for you delusional thoughts.
Dude, there are people who already do it. What do you mean it isn’t there yet? How can people be doing it when it isn’t there?
Oh, so I guess the 15kWp on my roof that generated 14 MWh last year was just a dream then.
What went wrong in your life?
Nope, propaganda is propaganda. Sorry you’re dumb enough to fall for it.
I absolutely love how you said this to yourself. It’s just so perfect.
I’m gonna go ahead and believe this post is sarcasm, ok? Because this is exactly the kind of bullshit these morons would argue with.
Isn’t this true for pretty much all political humor?
