What does that have to do with your initial comment? And have you ever heard of photovoltaics? The fuck does that have to do with emotion?
I myself still drive an ICE, because I don’t want to afford an EV yet (they’re extremely expensive in Germany). An EV would be ideal for me however. I produce a shitload of energy with the PV on my roof. In the last 30 years I’ve lived here, we had exactly one power outage that was fixed within an hour. We brutally overproduce wind and solar power, EVs can actually help store that surplus energy (think vehicle to grid).
Maybe you should inform yourself before you make a fool of yourself.
Unless that was sarcasm again, because that was just such a dumb comment. Jesus.
Notice how balls-to-the-wall mad that person is while telling you to stop thinking with emotion and use logic? That accusation is a confession.
I’ve actually been seeing this a lot in the last few months from reactionary asshats, telling anyone who’s talking about problems in the world that they’re thinking with emotion and not logic, and actually going so far as to explain the concept in as much detail as their understanding can manage, as if most people haven’t already understood the concept and moved past it to a more complex view of reality where a person exists as a wholistic entity capable of integrating reason and emotion, and is not only able to see what is but the limitations of their knowledge and their imagination of what could be and what should be. Critique of Pure Reason was published in 1781 FFS.
I have to assume some right wing media grifter has recently put out some big video on the topic and they’re just parroting that, but I have no idea what the actual source of it is.
You’re absolutely right! In Germany this type of behavior is even propagated by conservative parties. They’re blaming the green party for acting on ideology. This is “emotion” paraphrased. It doesn’t come as a surprise to me that simpletons adopt this narrative. Right wing propaganda essentially works by triggering emotions.
Mate, you ever stop to think that maybe you are the one falling for right wing propaganda? No one here is saying that it’s time for full EV. That’d never work. No one is being forced either. It’s a transition. ICEs will be here for decades to come. It’d be nice to have less of them however. Plus EVs can be a puzzle piece in solving energy storage, so full renewables becomes feasible.
You’re blatantly ignoring scientific data and logic and are just parroting boulevard magazine level bullshit. Seek help, you’re definitely on the side of ignorant people who are afraid of change.

I’m going to answer on their behalf:

You’re believing propaganda. Simply put, full EV time is not now. Sure if you want it, go ahead. But it shouldn’t be forced.

Petrol bowsers don’t work when the grid is out either.
