Comment on 1.8 Million Barrels of Oil a Day Avoided from Electric Vehicles

In all seriousness, even if the electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, that’s still preferable to burning them locally via internal combustion in a car’s engine.
The pollution is one place, so is easier to manage/capture and a power plant is much more efficient than your car can hope to be, actually reducing overall usage and pollution for the same energy output.

oh so pollution is ok as long as it’s not in your backyard and happening in a confined locale… got it.

No dumbass, that’s very clearly not what I said.
If the pollution is being produced in one area then we can actually capture and reduce the overall level of pollution which is produced.
However, if we continue to use ICE cars then pollution will be scattered all over the place and there will be more of it
Try thinking just a little bit before responding.

It’s VERY clearly exactly what you said and i quote… “The pollution is one place, so is easier to manage/capture”
If it’s so easy to capture why care if we’re burning coal or natural gas? just capture it. just control it. it’s so easy right? how is the burning of fossil fuels even “captured” at a rate that is even viable?

But I didn’t say:
Nor did I imply otherwise. Stop lying you colossal piece of shit.
I am saying that there would be less pollution overall running EVs which are charged by fossil fueled power stations compared to running ICE cars for the reasons I have already clearly explained and I see other commentators have already attempted to explain to you.
It is overall a better solution. If we magically waved a magic wand and swapped every ICE on the road with an EV it would be overall better for everyone
And those are the facts.
It still wouldn’t be a proper long term solution. I’m not saying that.
Do you understand now or are you going to keep ignore the point?
It must be so nice living in your level of ignorance and willfully completely ignoring literally half of the points being presented to you.
