809675 发表于 2020-01-09 16:28:29 What an excellent rebuttal.  Let's just keep doing it the way we've been doing it and ignore the problems that have been created.   I can't argue with your impeccable logic.  I bow to your overwhelming intellect.

","text":"He was abrupt but looking at the problem. If we jump in, we need to consider points like his. He is right that batteries are environmental nightmares. It has taken 50 years to get a solid lead acid battery recycling regime going. If we go EV without planning, it will be several orders of magnitude worse in volume. Worse, without recycling the EVs have a carbon footprint worse that gas or diesel. Now, you are right too. We cannot keep on the same path. So, instead of dealing with the problem, everyone screams and cat calls. Never once acknowledging that you both have valid points. There must be change. It must be thought through. If we don't, we get either no change or too rapid a change."}
