EVs are just a drop in the bucket. Most of the greenhouse gasses come from factories and industrial use
transportation accounts for 1/3 of emissions. as that demand transfers from oil to the electric grid, we'll need a lot more renewable-only capacity
Transitioning away from cars entirely is far cheaper and more viable than transitioning to EVs. Fuck cars
We have all this car infrastructure already. Unless the plan is to somehow replace that all with light rail in the next ten years, EVs are a reasonable solution we can roll out on a shorter timeline.
aye, fuck cars
