      Yes, 100%. But switching to ev right now is literally how we don’t kill ourselves first.

          Like I said, we can concentrate on making cars out of sunshine after we aren’t pumping death into the atmosphere.

          Normal cars take resources as well to build and keep polluting non stop after they are built. Even worse, the resources they need just to run are fucking terrible for the environment to extract and use, not to mention the spills. There’s no contest, gas is always worse.

          We don’t have time to transition to only public transport while keeping our dependence on oil.

          It’s either EVs now and a public transport future, or gas induced suicide.

              Whats funny is that is also a big oil talking point. Either climate change doesn’t exist and EVs are stupid, or climate change does exist but it’s too late so it doesn’t matter what we drive. You are being manipulated into having no hopes so the profits keep rolling in, nice.
