[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1069210, member: 74121"] Stealing these two items off the Fully Charged YouTube channel. Actual impartial research done (rather than figures pulled out of the air) shows an electric car's net carbon footprint becomes lower than an comparable internal combustion engine car after just 7,000 miles (i.e. within a year), before becoming almost infinitely better for the environment. [URL unfurl="true"]https://inews.co.uk/news/electric-cars-are-less-green-to-make-than-petrol-but-make-up-for-it-in-less-than-a-year-new-analysis-reveals-1358315[/URL] And also, just to turn conventional wisdom on its head, the oil and gas producing nation of Russia, a nation that will have comparatively small negative impact to its environment from global warming (at least compared to India, China and the US, who will sink underwater to varying extents and experience horrific desertification) has a capital city where only electric buses will be purchased from now on to reinforce their already considerable electric fleet. If even a nation that has reasonable grounds to be comparatively indifferent to climate change and a vested economic interest in the consumption of fossil fuels has reached this conclusion then it bodes well that others will follow suit. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sustainable-bus.com/electric-bus/moscow-presents-900-ebus/[/URL] Meanwhile my home city persists in spending literally billions digging up ancient narrow roads to install an inflexible and essentially obsolete tram line back and forth. The heart is in the right place, but the head (and wallet) are not. [/QUOTE]
