Ok, what do cars travel on? What lithium do you use to make all the batteries? How do you make the all the steel you need for those wind farms and the power lines you need to get the energy from the farms? How do you store it?
I'm not going to go in to all the problems, but I don't think you've every questioned this story.
Not wanting something to be true doesn't make it false. Oh where have I heard people reject inconvenient truth before?
EVs were always a way to save the auto Industry, not a way to solve the climate crisis. Add them to the list of greenwashing grifts (carbon footprint, plastic recycling, hydrogen fuel cell cars, etc) and move on to the real solution: bike infrastructure and mass transit, with cars as an absolute last resort until they can be eliminated.
EVs solve one of the numerous problems with cars, and make some of the others much worse. People should have seen EVs as a grift the whole time, it just took the biggest grifter to blow his cover to start making it obvious.
It made a slight recovery, but it's significantly lower than it was a year ago. It's gone significantly down since the Tesla protests started. It's not a real company, so at some point it's going to crash anyway.
Collect some horse chestnuts, smash 4 with a hammer and put them in an old sock. Throw the sock and nuts in the wash. It's a free replacement for unscented detergent.
You can also make detergent from English Ivy and a bunch of other plants.
You can organize your way out. We are only cooked if we give up.
Exactly.
The problem with protesting is that it's begging people to kindly do ask you ask. In the case of oil, you're the "people" you are asking are a social cancer. The people doing the work are literally destroying their children's future for money today. They couldn't possibly care about anything you could do or any argument you could make. Very few relationships are really zero sum games, but this is one.
They exist or we do, there can be no common ground. There can be no negotiation. These are corporations we're fighting, not people, and corporations don't care about anything.
I'm glad people are waking up to the fact that there can be no rational dialog. It's life or death, for humans and oil companies. They must be stopped, and stopping means death for the oil companies. They will not, and cannot, listen. They must be forced to stop or we all die.
"Direct action gets the goods."
Don't forget the cost of insurance. That's the big one. If it stops being possible to insure fossil fuel infrastructure, then investments shift to renewables that can be insured. It's pretty simple economic math.
Edit: that also works in all levels of the economy. Pipeline constitution vehicle get torched every time there's a pipeline built? Uninsurable therefore reduce or stop investment. Cas in cities always get flat tires and vandalized? People won't buy cars they can't insure.
As a reminder, hydrogen is not a good technology for this type of application and hydrogen trials should be abandoned. Hydrogen fuel cells for land vehicles were always a grift by car companies to keep ICE on the road. https://youtu.be/f7MzFfuNOtY
It's not ICE or EV, it's cars or not cars. Cars are not sustainable.
