People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

Yeah I'm gonna be anti drilling in public lands and national parks on pretty much every front there.

And let's remember that just even though a solution isn't perfect, it doesn't mean it's a bad solution. EVs are not perfect. But they're better than continuing to burn fossil fuels. Then if something still better comes along we can upgrade again. Gas powered cars were not the first form of transit and EVs won't be the last form.

That saving of gas on each stage of removing those third party for cars.

I don't pretend to know all the answers, but don't you think scalability is a problem? I mean, for the EVS. I love EVS alright, but I don't think they are as scalable as we think they are. (Talking about mining minerals electricity and other stuff necessary for EVS here)
