Neat vids from youtube or wherever. Rules later
So my family has two trucks. We run a ranch in a rural area and we use them a lot. I also use my skid steer and tractor multiple times a week. That said, if we can be more economical as a whole, great. But electric vehicles are ignoring the mining and shipping costs of batteries and there's no way an electric truck can haul what I need to now and there's no viable solution for electric farming or construction equipment. Also, wasn't it found that about 70% of pollution comes from shipping? And wasn't more that 90% of pollution from the top 100 companies in the world? So why are a small part of consumer vehicles the problem? Or is it just more conscionable people to offload on?
It's not a small part of consumer vehicles in the USA anymore.
Don't have to ban gas trucks but there shouldn't be special breaks that incentivezes car companies to push them on people.
Battery mining and shipping should definitely be accounted for. But oil also requires extraction and transportation.
