Can you make an environmentalist happy?
They would rather us not drive cars, trucks or SUVs at all, as all vehicles pollute, even electric ones. EVs use electrons from power plants that pollute, as do the factories that manufacture the batteries that store EV energy. And let’s not forget the damage from mining the rare earth minerals that EVs require.
Environmentalists would rather we ride a bicycle, which can be rather impractical when it’s raining, snowing or hailing. And even if we became a nation of cyclists, they would object because we were exhaling excess carbon dioxide, which is a pollutant, at which point they want us all killed off to save the planet. This is why we will never become a nation of cyclists.
