OPINION:
Now that we know electric vehicles cause more damage to the environment than their fossil-fuel-powered counterparts (through greater tire wear), an entire industry is in further danger of collapse.
EVs are an ideologically based, profit-driven house of cards bent on replacing hard science with fear mongering
and end-of-the-world prognostications. Like the snake-oil salesmen of days gone by, modern-day ministers of this disaster have been able to spuriously lecture and verbally bully the general population into unproductive, ’preventative’ measures.
Meanwhile, there has been little airing (pun intended) by the media of the many unintended but negative impacts of wind farms. Each of these farms of ’hope’ kills thousands of birds annually, reduces milk production of nearby cows and reduces crop production. Physical damage to the human genome is also suspected, but those findings await additional study.
Cumulatively, the made-up brouhaha over humans’ use of fossil fuels is a case study in the power of the manipulative use of ideology
over hard science. Shame on those who remain provocateurs of such foolishness.
