It doesn't solve all the problems, so instead, let's solve none of the problems!
Get an electric car if you want, but you should still support society moving away from needing them in the first place, no?
Imagine a school cafeteria is serving kids the option of 5 hershey's chocolate bars, or a slice of pizza. You can acknowledge the pizza is better, but you should still be asking where the god damn vegetables are.
That's pretty much exactly the point I was trying to make. Incremental improvements are better than no improvements.
People shit on electric cars because they aren't the perfect solution, ignoring the fact that they are better than what we have now.
It took us 150 years to get in to this mess. We aren't going to fix it completely overnight.
How dare you not install your own commuter train out to your rural property.
How many people living on their rural property build their own roads to get there, as compared to relying on taxpayer subsidies?
