Less polluting, yes. Emissions free? No. Until everyone understands and admits that EVs aren’t emissions free, arguing about saving the planet with EVs is pointless. Now, if we can build new nuclear power plants, then we can truly cut emissions significantly.

California has had stricter emissions standards for decades. There is still smog. If they really want a cleaner state, they could just stop driving so many cars. Electric vehicles aren’t pollution free, not are they CO2 neutral. Their tailpipe is just further away. Also, since when does California have extra…

I assumed the same, there is no way a car is more efficient than a power plant. The facts seem to say otherwise.

Thank you. Supporting the federal standard does not equal supporting destroying the environment, it just happens that the federal standard is worse for the environment. But they’re not saying they’re opposed to all standards (which is certainly an option). I don’t fault any manufacturer for supporting a national…

Bu-bu-BUT THEY’RE SIDING WITH TRUMP

Oh for fucks sake.... Any manufacturer remotely fucking sides with Trump and you immediately have a fucking hissy fit because it might give some due credit to the moron in chief. Get your head out of Nancy Pelosi’s ass and actually give this subject some reasonable semblance of an original thought

Toyota is pushing for…

Counter point:

It’s not about pollution or CO2. It’s about control. It’s about stomping out any manufacturer that manages to produce affordable vehicles for the masses in spite of an ever tightening noose of regulation to stop them.

Oh boy... the nonsense that CO2 is ‘dirty’ again. CO2 is not dirty. It is not pollution. It is plant food. Of course trying to conflate CO2 with actual dirty pollution is deliberate to drive an agenda.

We need to remember a couple things when we are talking about “environmentally friendly” vehicles like this. Yes, they are more efficient than a typical ICE vehicle, but they load all their pollutants on the lead end of manufacturing the vehicles and especially the batteries. Those precious rare metals have to come…

You should know Birmingham is ~65% black and ~35% white and the flight crew is actually based in Texas.

Well if muslims would start behaving like Americans by DRESSING as Americans, these incidents wouldn’t happen. Instead, they refuse to integrate, insist on their right to dress as medieval jihadists, then complain when they’re singled out. No this isn’t racism, it’s called erring on the side of caution. Start acting…

at the moment we have no plan to do it.”

“basically right" should include a detailed investigation into the fuel source of the vehicle. (I mean detailed sarcastically, because all they'd have to do is read the car's brand name and have been alive for the last 5 years.)

Let me tell you about workplaces. There’s this club at a very well known American corporation that get to play arts and crafts for an entire day each week to alleviate stress. Sort of like a safe space I suppose.

I thought, hey this sound fun I want to participate, until the sign said “WOMEN ONLY”. Next week I think…

I would imagine nobody protested it until they realised it was costing them points.

With qualifying rounds and all they could have DQ’d him BEFORE the race. What were they speed reading the rules from the start of the race?

He was disqualified based on an opinion, the rules do not explicitly disqualify him, based on other comments I’m reading. The rules say “only one combustion engine per vehicle”, it doesn’t say anything about having less than one.

B. Engine/Drivetrain/Fuel

By my understanding this just means you can have UP TO 1 ICE. Meaning less than or equal to one. Also who’s to say the batteries weren’t charged by an ICE. Ultimately, the organizers fucked up with their statement. They should have either admitted their mistake for allowing the car to run, or told the protesting driver…
