[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1790782, member: 42731"] I'm a "devil we know" kind of guy. We've been working with the petroleum thing long enough that we've figured out a few ways to mitigate it, we've figured out a few bio available alternatives that can run on the same equipment, etc so if we're not going to do the smart thing by going with hydro engines or similar then at least we know what we have and how to work around it towards a better end on the IC side. With EVs we know: strip the planet for rare and non renewable resources also needed for other things, use heavy amounts of petroleum in the process of procuring these and delivering them, make a complex battery system we don't have a sophisticated disposal system for, transfer the environmental strain from petroleum over to our power plants and then... That's as much as we've got. EVs are only "better for the environment" because most people don't drive past a power plant regularly so it's an invisible problem. If the talking heads were just up front about that and they weren't concurrently lobbying to ban or restrict IC engine vehicles, we'd have no quarrel, but the EVs are surrounded by dishonesty and an agenda and so subsequently their avid proponents can kiss me somewhere around the Grizz ring on my back pocket.
