“Palm Springs hotel whose nightly rate is likely higher than the value of most of my Jeeps. Combined.”

Bringing back something that was relevant in 1997 and intent on destroying the world?

This whole article is bait.

“What the findings really show is that ultimately, everyone is screwed if Big Oil keeps erecting fossil fuel infrastructure—including wealthy investors and shareholders.”

Is any (real) military around the world even close to being green or sustainable and nearly fossil fuel free?

I’mma be the first to step out on the ledge and say that EVs are at best a 10-15 year band-aid on the gaping wound that is global warming and air pollution. All we’d be doing is sending even worse pollution back into the soil and water table since no one even knows wtf we’re gonna do when all these massive batteries…

A 1965 Plymouth Valiant is a better winter car than a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser

WTF are you on about? Real trees stay in the ground for 3-15 years depending on the variety and height, and are immediately replanted the next season. They don’t require fertilizer, do not require pesticides and are usually sold hyper-locally (certainly not shipped from China). They can be recycled into mulch and are…

Most sources say real trees are better for the environment than fake ones.
