Environmental Engineer here. We are sitting on top of newly found oil reserves which are massive, combined with our past reserves is enough to last the US for one hundred years or more.
Fuel economy standards are inching up.
Emissions from those nasty internal combustion engines are essentially minute due to cleaner fuels, fuel injection, catalytic converters, and engine improvements.
Emissions from refineries (as are coal fired power plants) have been ratcheted down to levels unseen in the industrial age....essentially below the point where there is no impact on the environment.
What? No mention of our very clean vast natural gas reserves? Reserves that are easier and cleaner to produce and utilize? Trillions of cubic feet right under our feet. Our fleet used to be natural gas powered and ran fine......
To summarize, given the vast amounts of nat gas/oil and the minute emissions from the combustion of said fuels, the idiots pushing electric cars all have an agenda..mainly the almighty DOLLAR, although we do get some of the ignorant tree huggers protesting here at our offices. They arrive in SUV's and Planes, and come here to protest the use of fossil fuels???? I suggested to a few one time that oil is cheap, along with soap, razors and deodorant as most of them can't carry an intelligent conversation, much less practice a little personal hygiene.
Climate change? Maybe. Man-Made climate change? NO WAY. It is all a ruse to make money and push agendas, even to favor certain industries. Remember the tax money debacles under Barry?
Even some people who drive these so called 'clean' electric cars don't even realize that the electrons coming from their wall outlet are generated by the combustion of a fossil fuel. Yes I am biased because I see the entire picture.....it is all about the money....ask Gore.
