I'm not gonna take sides on this, because everything that could be said for both is being said in the comments. What I will ask is that everyone go have a look at how much water it takes for a fire department to extinguish the battery on an electric car. Then apply that to a power-plant sized one. Hopefully they took that into account, but given how quickly this is being pushed I doubt it,

The fact you lump them all in together makes me wish I had points to mod you up. I see someone else remembers the Iraq Invasion coverage from all of those networks lol.

Anyone who's cheering FOR self driving cars is cheering for the loss of hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs. Truckers, cab drivers, delivery drivers, etc are the directs. People who live outside of cities and need to travel into cities to work, and people who live too far away from their job within a city itself are the indirects.

And before people say 'they should just move' or 'but they can buy self driving cars!', first have you seen the price of houses and apartments? Second, have you seen the price of vehicles with ANY kind of new technology? Unless you're willing to foot the bill for these people out of your own pocket, you've got no input on the matter.

1st: Where do people come from?

2nd, why if someone kills a pregnant woman and the life inside her dies as well, is the person that did the deed charged with double homicide?

Nope. They do not have a clue of the actual cost nor the slave labour that goes into mining the minerals for lithium ion batteries nor the toxicity of the materials nor the fact that building an electric car produces double the carbon of building a gasoline car. And so much more. But most people are nimbyist so they donâ(TM)t care.

Only because itâ(TM)s being forced, despite all the drawbacks, despite all the problems, despite the fact that the power grid cannot support an entirely electrified automobile nation. And then there is the unreliability of wind and solar. For every megawatt of so-called green power, there has to be a megawatt from a non-green source. This is all a scam, and all you need to do is follow the money and find out who has friends in the industry, heavy investment, or both to figure out why.

Once the current idiots are out of office, cooler, more sensible heads will prevail and this will get nixed. Carbon taxation does not work, because the polluters still pollute and they pass on any extra expense to their customers. Electric vehicles do not work, because they are unreliable, they lose battery capacity over time (and the batteries are extremely expensive to replace), the tend to burst into flame far more frequently, and are reliant on a grid to charge that cannot support them in the quantities needed to make any difference to the 1% of influence we exert, as a species, over the climate.

Uighyurs.

It predates the Romans, actually. Before the Abrahamic religions, it was tribal.

Fascism is honest socialism. Right in the writings of Mussolini, it is laid right out. And socialismâ¦is not liberal, nor conservative. But it does use liberals to further its ends.

When these universities think misgendering is violence but actively calling for genocide is not, the rando billionaire has a point.

Hilarious. I love how people are all about believing the science, right up to the point where it disagrees with the narrative. Then, suddenly, it is ok to question the science.%r%r%tMy entire workplace wore masks, cleaned with disinfectant religiously, and maintained 6â(TM) social distancing. Every single person got Covid after someone, whom was asymptomatic, came in with it. And that is a very common story.

So, what happens to the people who had nothing to do with that, and itâ(TM)s now proven that theyâ(TM)ll be targeted for killing, kidnapping, and rape?

First of all, I just watched a fantastic interview with a man from the Obama admin on youtube, on a channel called the 'Hoover Institute'. The subject of the interview was Steven Koonin. Link here, but I gave you the title in case this doesn't work http://surl.li/ldvzd

In this interview, he's questioned about a few key points in his book 'Unsettled', where he has used the actual data from the IPCC to actually dispel a lot of the politicization of the material. As an example, the media has been quick to jump on the 'increased number of deaths due to heat' narrative, while blatantly ignoring the 'decreased number of deaths due to cold'. Why is this significant? Because humans die far more frequently to the cold than the heat, and the deaths due to cold have dropped by considerably more than the lives lost due to heat. That's all in the IPCC.

The narrative about 'human actions causing storms to get worse' is also untrue, as the IPCC found no correlation.

What ends up happening is that the vast quantities of data get 'summarized for policy makers', which causes errors to appear, which in turn gets boiled down even further for the media releases.

I'm sure I'm doing the interview injustice, and for people who might be interested in a fair and balanced approach (because human carbon dioxide emissions are having -some- effect, not nearly the level that the media and politicians are frightening you with. And the planet is warming...it has been for the last 400 years), watch the video.

For my two cents...the world has been hotter, drier, colder, and wetter than we are experiencing now. In fact, human history and prehistory is filled with our species adapting to the climate changing. The idea that we're in some kind of danger zone is -laughable-. and this is just another attempt to fearmonger people into things like the carbon tax in Canada...because taxing problems has always solved them /sarcasm. Don't buy it.

Aside from bursting into flames with alarming frequency, the vast majority of registered EVs in China are sitting unused in fields. But, because they are registered, they still show up as being active. Should be interesting to see what happens if they start cutting back on gasoline production.
