So, methane.
570m tons methane per year emitted globally, approx. 80x more warming potential than CO2 = 46b tons CO2 equivalent 35b tons per year CO2 emitted globally, approx Climate gang should be chasing the methane stick. Fetch it up! |

To be fair, that along with water usage is part of the vegetarian/vegan movement against the consumption of beef.

Tesla's semi with an 80,000lbs load destroyed a regular truck with ease.
Imagine not hearing that fucking ANNOYING truck sound everywhere you go? That annoying loud bark deceleration sound those trucks make. How slow they are to get off the line causing more traffic. These tesla trucks will move like regular commuter cars of today. Man i can't wait for this EV transition!! This is the inEVitable!!! LOL

The only time in the last 50 years that that I can recall any sort of reduction in CO2 output or air being cleaner at a significant level was when Covid happened and we had lockdowns... that necessitated an entire change in our lifestyle and consumption patters... we couldn't go to restaurants, drive much etc etc... we are FAR too large of a consumption society to make any sort of real world impact... to make an impact, you'd need to massively reduce consumption in the first place and let's be honest this isn't happening... this is all a scheme to make some people rich... if it wasn't, the first thing we would banning would be private jet travel but that would be too inconvenient for some.

To go back on topic, EV is NOT going anywhere. And no one is "backing out" of this plan.
Just like autonomous driving, EV transition will come and it will come soon. Point blank period. 2030. Gigantic swing. Coming up. Yay!

I read VW cannot afford to manufacture EV batteries in Germany any longer because electricity prices make it economically unfeasible so they are moving production elsewhere. I think German car prices will probably increase 2% per quarter in 2023.

You have done almost none of that. No one has said it isn't going to come, literally no one. Why? because it came 10-20 years ago, depending on what metrics you want to use. It's like saying "computers are going to change our lives". Yah, no shit. They already have. Quote:

So a very interesting article in the CBC, for those of you who don't know the CBC, it is funded by the government in Canada as the "national broadcaster", they are very political and left leaning. The government of Canada is also imposting mandates about the transition to EV's. There may be some chinks in the armour.

VW delaying battery production in Germany
Switzerland banning electric vehicle use Toyota may delay some EV programs US is energy independent Electric utilities don’t have a plan to meet EV demand Methane emissions continue unabated Lots of moving pieces. Seems like the Kettering copper cooled engine all over again. Last edited by chassis; 12-12-2022 at 09:51 AM.. |

And yeah, politicians, especially those in CA, have no idea how much work it will take to make EVs for the masses a viable thing. They had to set an aggressive target date to get industry moving. The reality is that "2030" target date will be pushed back. Many automakers went in head first in claiming that they'd soon be all electric. Now we're seeing that it's not feasible and many are backing out and revising their "all in" EV plans.
