My usual response to people with electric cars.
“Nice coal powered car you’ve got there.”
- Since coal accounts for 40% of the electricity in the US.
“Nice nuclear powered car you’ve got there.”
- Since nuclear power accounts for 20% of electricity in the US.
“Nice racist car you’ve got there. (This one really get the liberals.)
1. All power plants are located in poor and/or minority parts of the country. So instead of polluting your nice pristine neighborhoods, you shift it on poor people.
2. Electric cars are totally tax-subsided. So you are only able to buy this car because other people pay part of the bill. Oh and even then it’s too expensive for poor people to buy them.
Wonder how much CA power is produced out of state so that they can claim to be green?
