What we really should have done is made the Car Talk guys president. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that those two would never have forced me to listen to what some MIT grad thinks.

Absolute gold! (The hosts of Car Talk were both MIT grads)

Let me ask Facebook how credible this study is...

[-] Eczpurt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I don't think I understand the argument against EV's for their electricity source very well. Isn't the electricity for the car being generated anyways? It'd be like saying your television is polluting worse than an ICE car or your hot tub/clothes dryer for a more power hungry example.

It takes some guy gasoline to truck gasoline to the electric pump and the powered gas station to fill your car with gasoline. Like am I missing something or are people arguing just to argue?

Unless this whole article was satire and it whooshed right over me.

The general idea is that the production of the electronics is far more destructive than making an ICE drive system. I am not well read on recent changes, but there was a point where that statement was true, but even then the electronics weren't worse from greenhouse gas standpoint, just from other toxins.

I'm less worried about heavy metals in dumps than I am about Earth becoming too hot for mammalian life. I don't wanna go back to dinosaur times.

Yeah but I heard this one scientist said one time that EVs actually cause more cancers and make trees grow less leaves

Trans trees! And bushes! Trans nature!

Is that what you want!?

EVs beat me up and killed my dog.

EVs stole my wife and shot my kids.

EVs turned me into a newt!

They probably were at a time when a disproportionate amount of R&D was put into them but I doubt Facebook understands this
