| When people started to go electric, they thought it was going to solve all sorts of problems. However, many are finding that Electric Vehicles (EVs) are not all they promise. Industries pushing electric cars are not so much concerned with slowing down extreme climate change but with getting us to invest in their products directly (buying EVs) or indirectly (mining, energy plants, etc.). The priority should therefore not be to replace every car with its electric equivalent but rather to rethink mobility in general. |
Enthusiasm for Electric Vehicles Is Running on Empty
by Gary Isbell
If you were naïve enough to believe the dominant media and the extreme environmentalists, you might think that folks are ready to ditch their gas-guzzling cars to buy electric vehicles (EVs). Some inconvenient facts, however, demonstrate otherwise.
One fact is public fatigue over the constant drumbeat of climate alarmists. There seems to be no inconvenient weather event or natural disaster that they do not blame on climate change. The public is rightly skeptical of their doom-and-gloom prognostications and thus reluctant to jump on the EV bandwagon.
Thus, there is a declining market for EVs despite the pervasive propaganda parroting their purported benefits. People are beginning to see through the hype, and the empirical evidence is more convincing than radical utopian agendas.
