Also, any attack against anything related to Elon Musk is now a good thing.
they can now hate Elon Musk and Tesla and get a pat on the back but EV’s in general are still good?
EVs are another leftist idea that looked good on paper but they didn’t do the necessary research in unintended consequences.
Wind power — similar.
The number of people in this country that have embraced EVs and COVID “vaccines” evinces that there is little regard for science and intellectual curiosity.
Don’t bet that it isn’t intentional.
Americans pay more for cars and climate change taxes while the third world countries can make a ton of money in mining. Those third-world countries are also exempt from the pollution rules.
The entire scam is an attempt to make all the nations in the world equal.
Not much of an article.
Comparing tire and break wear emissions to ICE exhaust emissions? No mention of ICE car break and tire wear emissions?
Stating that modern cars have exhaust filters? Nonsense. Yes, modern diesels may have particulate filters, but gasoline autos do not.
And that’s the extent of the article....
Maybe it’s one of those B.S. AI-generated piles of letters.
Brake wear, not break wear.
The truth doesn’t matter
I saw a commercial with a new EV owner overjoyed at never having to buy gas again. They thought it was a free ride
Only when there is a full transition to hydrogen economy shall the EVs make sense. Battery-powered EVs are and always shall be a niche market, and that is already saturated.
To power the hydrogen economy, the full-on application of nuclear energy to drive our electric generation power, and using part of that energy to generate free hydrogen to be used as a fuel for EVs, is but one of the intermediate steps. There has to be a system of handling the compressed gaseous hydrogen, perhaps like a swap-out tank much like a propane tank on a home grill, and a pipeline system for wider distribution.
Solve these problems, and the concurrent safety precautions, then we can start talk about net zero.
My theory is that people are constantly consuming information and replying.
Their minds are in a constant anxious state. This works against deeper thought and critical thinking skills.
Unplug more often, stay off all social media, and read more books.
“[The study] found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have ‘efficient’ exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows.”
Whoa! ICE cars don’t have brakes!
$40 billion price tag for Twitter-X.
Twitter-X actual value - maybe $10 billion, on its best day.
Huge Tesla price pressure from Chinese EV producers.
He really did not understand that the Political Left will destroy you if you challenge them in public.
“stay off all social media” Does that that include Free Republic?
Most people either flunked science or didn’t pay attention
No, but most here would be better off with less time here.
It feeds the same anxious mindset. It affects me for certain.
News makes one angry.
“Elon is up to ears in negative cash flow.”
Essentially tied as world’s richest person ...
I agree. I spend too much time on the net. However, it is a source for knowledge if you have a good filter framework for truth.
Probably should have included the title of the related article: “Electric cars release MORE toxic emissions than gas-powered vehicles and are worse for the environment, resurfaced study warns”
