Auto execs are coming clean: EVs aren't working

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Unfortunately I don't run an industrial manufacturing process or shipping company... so there's not much I can do there other than prefer to buy products/services that involve fewer emissions.
I've installed solar on my home... and some day I'll probably add a battery (when they're cheaper), but that's about all I can do.
So for me at least, this stuff isn't a huge priority. I'm already doing everything I can.
Huh? That's almost a 20% reduction in your vehicle emissions and private transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gasses. It'd definitely "move the needle".
I am. Might be a small part for some, but it's a part. It could be as simple as using LED lighting instead of incandescents (10x lower emissions, and 10x lower power bill) or cooking with induction instead of gas (4x lower emissions, boils water 2x faster, and cheaper though how much depends on your gas prices).
Those two changes I suggested don't even cost any money. They save money.
A lot of other changes also save money - green hydrogen, for example, was $4/kg two years ago and is $3/kg today... it was projected to be cheaper than gas some time between 2027 and 2040... but thanks to Russia's war it's already cheaper than gas now in some parts of the world. Suddenly the industry is scrambling to accelerate that transition.
The liquid natural gas industry has no long term future and not because of emissions - it's just not going to be const competitive for much longer.
