    Your comments hurt our brains. Are you implying that shifting the method of powering transportation to renewables is a bad thing or no better than putting gasoline into an internal combustion engine?

      you’re getting hung up thinking EV automatically means renewable energy. investing in EV’s in no ways shifts the method of powering them. Investing in renewable energy does that.

        You’re technically correct on the surface. But people who get an EV are also probably more likely to get solar in their roof to charge that EV. I think your point though is that some states (I think Idaho?) power homes with fossil fuels, and buying an EV there will give the illusion of making a difference when it’s really about the same.

        I don’t think most states are as bad as that though.

          what? The US in general gets most of its electricity from fossil fuels by a huge margin.

            lol. Weird hill to die on for you but whatever. Anyone with half a brain knows we have to transition to EVs so that renewables can power transportation. But I guess that concept is impossible for you to comprehend.

              We dont have the renewables to power transportation. Theyre fossil fuel powered.

                lol my EVs are 100% powered by renewables. You know that renewables are now cheaper than traditional fossil fuels, right? It’s not 1995 anymore honey.

                  Great, so why are we still getting most of our power from fossil fuels?

                    Are you asking why we haven’t switched to 100% renewables overnight unironically? It’s hilarious that you think your clueless points don’t make you look absolutely idiotic. Keep shoveling.
