It’s better to transition private cars now because that’s going to take years in and of itself and it’s relatively easy and fast to swap out the centralized power plants for greener options later. Swap out one dirty power plant for a green plant and everything electric connected to it is instantly greener in turn.
Even if the US went all in on public infrastructure today, it would still take decades
Not giving any money to Musk though, there are other options.
You’re so right…using electricity to drive here in Texas is so much less carbon intensive than gasoline powered engines it’s not even close. Switching to an EV instantly makes a huge difference in your carbon footprint
Or is this whole thing just about making up arguments and then attacking them to sow division between people who would otherwise be united against fossil fuels?

@cm0002 @ByteOnBikes yes, but the idea that EV’s solve things makes people think it is okay to not be all in on PT.
And it’s not okay.
Can you point at one person who thinks that?
