They were probably having this same discussion (or similar) with horse and buggy vs. the new fangled gasoline automobiles.

Congratulations to every American for helping 5% of the population to purchase EV's whether we wanted to or not. I get to buy my own car and help someone else buy theirs too! And feel good that we were contributing to the silver bullet to save the planet - but - eventually distilled down to simply fun to drive. Oh well..But we did find some new and inventive ways to ruin the planet and make a few fellas the richest men in the world in the process.

I get it, this post won't last long, not sheeple enough. But I enjoy seeing the truth spelled out even if it's short lived.

I'm with 'ya!

Mass market adoption is the easy part. Mass market production will take some time yet.
BTW, towing an RV is not really part of the mass market.

Probably. The ironic thing is the naysayers were right. Mining fossil fuels, the manufacture of ICE's and vehicles and their by-products, dependence on foreign nations, ecological impact etc etc but but were sold as the greatest invention ever. And yet here we are now, all with ICE's - scrambling to undo everything that was done had we not just stuck with the horse and buggy. The answer - build another version of the same thing with similar if not worse impacts and call it an improvement. Rinse and repeat.

I think EV's are amazing but they aren't green, by any stretch and I don't think they are any better than newly engineered ICE's. I could totally get on board for a vehicle that actually solved some problem. EV's don't. They don't really solve a single problem. They are creating problems and have the potential for dramatic impacts to the environment that exceed the issues with ICE's they were promised to solve. If you are going do invent something as a replacement, shouldn't the replacement be better? Just trading one set of problems for another bundled in a fancy sparkly package with with lies on the wrapping paper and asking me to pay for it.

As someone who’s doctoral research was funded by the DOE and published in a peer reviewed journal and post doctoral research was funded by the NIH and published in a peer reviewed journal; how was I to take your unsupported accusation that 50% of govt funded published studies are fraudulent?
