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

  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:

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

      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.

        Does it always work for you to just try and insult your way to making a point? You’ve lost all credibility if you can’t make a point without doing so. I’ve not once called you a name, insulted your intelligence in any way, yet you think this is a acceptable way to not only debate a topic, but win an argument. I pity not only you personally, but those around you that have to put up with this behavior on an every day basis. On to your points.

        If you were to snap your fingers and make all internal combustion engines into electric vehicles, it would overwhelmingly overload our current grid. To compensate, you’d need to build many more powerplants and burn much more fuels to not only take up the slack just for vehicles, but for everyday household use as well. This would pollute even more. By adding the numerous new power plants, you’d have those be closer to neighborhoods than they are now. It’s a simple numbers game. One thing arguments like yours never seem to take into account is cause and effect. You seem to be completely ok with more pollution and raping of our environment as long as it’s not right there staring you in the face. You’re seemingly ok with exploiting an entire continent’s worth of people just so you don’t see some gasses escape a vehicle in front of your quaint home.

        Really, I still don’t understand why you think I’m mischaracterizing what you’ve said because you’ve gone ahead and reiterated it here AGAIN. If it makes you so incredibly angry to read what you’ve written, perhaps you should take a look in the mirror and try thinking all the way through your ideal situations. I don’t know how else to put it. You’ve admitted TWICE in this reply that you’re ok with pollution as long as it’s not near your home. I’m not lying about anything here. I’m simply restating what you’re saying.
