They’re also questions that have answers. You like asking the question, but you don’t actually care about the answer.

No raindrop believes itself responsible for the flood. Yes, if only one person drives an EV, very little is being done for the environment. If HALF the people who drive cars opt for EV’s, now we’re talking.

So to be clear, the “funny” part is that people who think that environmental impact of cutting the lifetime resource utilization in half are the “idiots” here?

You might want to do actual research on lithium “mining” as only a very small percentage of it is actually “mined.” Most of it is extracted from water in a fairly clean process.

Disposal of the batteries? Who would just throw away a perfectly good battery? EV batteries are being recycled and repurposed, they aren’t…

Oh, I didn’t know we were trotting out this old fallacy. Let’s go ahead and pile on the “electricity is produced from coal, so it’s dirtier to drive an electric car,” along with the “What if I need to drive 3000 miles tomorrow?” excuse.

The (US) government controls all sorts of things through the use of taxes and incentives. They encourage charitable contributions and home ownership and massive land holdings by religious institutions, even procreating. They encourage taking out student loans and off-shoring profits and carried interest as just…

So... making normal car companies rich is good, but making EV companies rich is bad? Also, no, Zero emissions versus ANY emissions is progress, and healthy. If that’s hard for you to understand, start your car, and put your face by the exhaust and see if your lungs appreciate it.

“rare earth elements” are a group of elements with similar properties and are often found together in nature. The name has nothing to do with their relative abundance. They’re not that “rare”, any more than the noble gases are particularly “noble” (in fact, several are absolute cads)

You do get why incentives are important for zero emissions cars for now right?

How will that happen in the face of cheap oil and high barrier of entry in the auto industry? Tax incentives were/are put in place to support the policy decision that electric cars are better for society. Perhaps you disagree about the policy decision, but I don’t see a problem with using tax incentives to support…

Seriously, sometimes I just want to be like the moral high ground means jack shit if you keep losing elections or SCOTUS seats. It still blows my mind that the Obama administration knew about all this Russia stuff (or at least the fact that Trump was under investigation) and they kept their mouths shut for fear of the…

This Kathy Griffin situation has had me seething and is a prime example of why I’m hesitant to identify as a liberal/Democrat despite my politics aligning with them.

In just one leaked moment, we are reminded again of the following:

1. Trump has no interest in cars. If he did, he would know where they are made. BMW and Mercedes have been rolling SUVs off of US assembly lines since at least 1997.

Tesla cars have a nation-wide supercharging network that they can use. I can drive a Tesla from one end of Texas (or the nation) to the other and have places to charge the whole way. You can’t say that about any other electric car because the vast majority of the nation doesn’t have an infrastructure of…

I put in my pre-order. I’ve ignored the Bolt because of the history of GM. I don’t see them innovating. Their sales model is the same, their dealerships (stealerships) are the same, their manufacturing model is the same.

Looks. The Model 3 is a good looking car whereas the Bolt looks like a freezer that escaped from the basement.

Generally speaking, presidential candidates have a coherent plan, albeit one that gets stalled by political opposition.

Pres. Obama had the shovel ready jobs with the American Jobs Act - it was blocked by GOP congress (c.2011)

Not to this extent. In addition to the complete failure of his totally grandiose campaign promises, the hypocrisy about golf, FBI investigation, Goldman Sachs favoritism, draining the swamp, nepotism, etc. - almost every single item in his first 100 days plan was either a total failure, or he reneged on .

That’s a whole lot of bullshit pretending to factual and is easily debunked with solid facts and metrics. It’s clear from your spin that you drank the orange kool-aid and are in no way unbiased.
