I could only listen to an idiot ramble on for a few minutes. I like to try and hear the other side but I don't like to hear an idiot ramble on.
So much injection of political and economic BS by an "Engineer".

We switched two ICE trucks for EVs
Those trucks went to two people
Therefore 4 vehicle needs turned into 2 used ICEv and 2 new EVs
Therefore according to the chart we are reducing carbon by the mere change to 50% EVs out of the 4 vehicles

The debate on Reason TV cannot argue with the fact over a lifetime EVs drastically reduce carbon vs ICEv
This is about saving the planet
Reducing carbon
