67% of crude oil is used for fuelling transportation. If you can cut out all oil-based fuels from your daily life (this would include plane flights, of course) then you are doing as much damage as possible on the oil industry. That typed, even if all vehicles sold were EVs starting now, the oil industry would still…

As others have pointed out, the numbers in this comparison appear to not be based on facts.

The Sword in the Stone? Really? I mean ... Really?! Please share whatever you are smoking.

A few dozen times a year you are hauling your kids and their friends to McDonalds for happy meals. God bless America and our third row seats.

1st Gear:

And, given the current state of the Russian aviation industry - might be coming back into production in 2023.

They still need to lose another 390B of that 440 before they hit GM’s value. And, honestly -- I honestly don’t think they are worth that much, either.

When my brat of a kid borrowed the car and returned it with a full tank of gas.

I was not responding to the article, I was responding to a comment in the comments section that stated “We don’t spend that much.” - which is, based on every reference I could find, not true.

We absolutely pay more for our automobile lifestyle here in the United States then they do nearly anywhere else. Here is just one site of dozens out there to give you the low-down on the details that most Americans are oblivious to:

That is a very good point and it would be interesting to see what 0 degrees (F) does to EV range. But it is a safe bet that there is not extraordinary demand for EVs in Bemidji or Fairbanks.

FWIW: Here in the PacNW there are more white people on the buses than non-white. But, yes, when compared against the actual racial density, it is people who cannot afford to drive - and due to our history and structure, that over-impacts those that explore non-pink skin tones.

They would mainly focus on the bigger hubs whereas buses could feed from smaller. Buses are certainly cheaper, but part of the stigma on buses is they typically use the same infrastructure as cars - so the stigma is deserved since it is so much slower. Give them their own transit lanes - and electrify them and then —…

Your point on the work from home model is a good one and does reduce energy use from the commute. (Businesses are still adapting to unused office space.) I also think that if there was better light rail options out where people are living that it would further reduce energy use and entice individuals to be less car…

Amazon has been picking up some of those abandoned malls for a song and creating an army of warehouse lemmings of all of the poor saps living in those dense apartment buildings -- all thanks to genius zoning laws that make it all but impossible to convert a commercial use zone into anything else.

Of course, you can get a single family home with a moat to block “people” in a mixed-use dense area with multiple options for public transportation.

Whomever it is, the fossil fuel industry is the one laughing while swimming in their riches. Anything that provides confusion to consumers considering an EV is a win in their book. The icing is that vast majority of the hydrogen generated is still sourced from their sweet sweet dino juice.

I’m definitely aging myself here but this will always be top on my list.

I do not fully understand this article.

‘merica likes our dirty diesel broken-down rail network to barely support our diesel broken-down trucking network, thank you very much.
