Amen.If people think they are "saving the planet" by buying electric cars, they are either ignorant of the full reality of electric cars, or chose to live in denial.
Without going into extreme detail because I have no interest in sitting at my computer for two hours typing let me put it in very, very simple terms below:
If the entire first-world (U.S./Canada/Europe/Australia) somehow stopped using gasoline/diesel, then the demand would drop on a massive, massive scale. Well, what happens to the price of something when the demand bottoms out? Yes, the price drops accordingly. Which means if the price of gasoline/diesel dropped to say 1/3 the price it is now, then gasoline/diesel become affordable to people living in undeveloped/underdeveloped areas of the planet such as Africa/SE Asia; and THEY will burn it.
If you don't think that we as a species won't burn every last drop of petroleum that we can get our grubby, little hands on; well you are living in a fantasy land.
And if we as a species are going to burn it all, then please let me joint in on the party!
