I have no interest in lobbying the US government because I’m not American.

Hmmm what future do I want?

If you can, use public transport and ride a bike.

If you can’t, using the same private vehicle for a long time, while not ideal, is acceptable.

Buying a brand new electric car to replace a relatively new ICE is not a great solution.

I have no interest in lobbying the US government on this.

I’d argue trains are the solution for most city applications.

Rural areas can keep ICE’s if cities of tens of millions dispense themselves of cars.

My frustration comes from the fact that hybrids exist and are not used nearly as enough as they should (all cars should have been mandated as hybrids a decade ago) and this would reduce the downsides of electric car production.

I’m not defending ICEs here, I just think the overall environmental credentials of electric cars at this point in time isn’t as good as hybrids.

I fully expect this to change in the future but I’ve got entire fleets of vehicles which are less than 5 years old being replaced by electric and that makes no sense.

Also cars generally are just a terrible solution to mass transport. We already have the most environmentally friendly option known to man. Bicycles and trains.

If it’s too spicy for the group chat it’s too spicy for Lemmy.

This is the right level of spice in a meme.

Nah because uncle Frank turns up and starts dropping some spicy political opinions while pouring everyone shots.

Warmth is only temporary.

Cold wetness lasts a long time.
