FYI Ping!..................
Sounds like we need a law prohibiting EV’s from using Tires made wit5h any type of petroleum products to stay in the Green Zone.
Note that “tire dust” is high on the list of environmental bugaboos coming down the pike.
“Tire Dust Makes Up the Majority of Ocean Microplastics, Study Finds”
Tire dust has the magic property of being something you can’t see. In other words, the left can magnify it and make it sound like an invisible monster that not even our lying eyes can properly educate us on.
EVs eat tires because of their excessive weight, so more tires.
EVs also eat up roads for the same reason, so more ASPHALT, a petroleum product.
NEWSOME: “I’m gonna put BIG OIL OUT OF BUSINESS!”......................
Yeah, riiiight..........
Formula 1 has 10 teams, each with two cars — each car gets an allotment of 12 sets of tires every race weekend (plus rain tires if needed). Most of these tires are used up entirely each race weekend!
I love F1!
Just wait until they go full EV!...................
“Sounds like we need a law prohibiting EV’s from using Tires made wit5h any type of petroleum products to stay in the Green Zone.”
The end game for environmentalists is apparently some sort of pre-industrial lifestyle, except that using animals will not be allowed. Instead of oxen, humans will pull the plow. This is the future they look forward to.
Chainsaw math puts it at about one tankful of gas to produce 50,000 miles on 4 tires.
Just under 4 gallons of gas per tire. Seven gallons of crude produces 3.6 gallons of gas.

I always say there's nothing stopping those Leftwing Loonies from living that lifestyle now, if they so choose. We already have entire groups of people living that way, and I recently watched that video of that Appalachian guy who lives completely off the grid. None of them ever really seem to want to do it, though...
Why stop with the tires? EVs are loaded with plastic which is made from oil.
This clearly makes anyone who thinks they are saving the planet by driving an EV a complete and utter moron.
Worth repeating...............
Then multiply by MILLIONS OF TIRES......................
Interesting article, but it’s written at a fourth grade science level. No wonder there’s no author listed.
The only solutions to tire pollution and energy consumption are 1) ban all vehicles or 2) reduce the earth’s population to one billion.
Well, maybe our betters will allow us to own private vehicles for a while because they can’t ban them outright. So you’ll find your 5,000 mile per year driving allowance won’t get you very far. After getting that camel’s nose into your tent, your betters will ratchet that down to 1,000 miles within a few years of adopting that near-ban on driving. Then down to 500 miles.
That’s Formula E — it exists and is boring...
Thay change cars 1/2 way through the race as they cannot be recharged...
> Then multiply by MILLIONS OF TIRES......................<
Then multiply by 50,000 miles……

If natural rubber is white, why arent the tires white? What makes the “WHITEwalls” and the letters white? If I cant have a flying car I want one with white wheels.
