npub1psdfxfpxz2cwmmnsk60y3nqpn2tqh9n24h4hstvfkwvr6eaek9js499sr7 (npub1psd…9sr7) The thing I'm most frustrated about is that the SUV-ification of private vehicles will keep killing the planet even after IC SUVs are dead & gone.
"EVs have terrible range, & they use so much energy!” critics say.
Damn right -- as long as your idea of a private car is a monster truck the size of a smallish aircraft carrier.
We will struggle & fail to meet climate goals because we have to keep adding generating/transmission capacity just to power these imitation gas guzzler behemoths.
