If someone could wave a magic wand and world population not increase or decrease, then we would NOT need EVs as badly as we do. And its just barbaric and neanderthal-like that we are NOT using electric riding lawnmowers. Where is the Elon Musk of electric lawn equipment????????

No, I disagree. The AIR WAS NOT AS GOOD AS IT IS TODAY in the cities. When you drove through D.C. you could not see the sky, it was so polluted. We used to get car sick because of the vehicle exhaust from all the oil burning engines in those days. We have come a long way at cleaning up the air and it is better now than then. Fear mongers can predict the end of the world all they wish, but it just ain't gonna happen within the next century, if at all. Besides, plants need CO2 to thrive and produce oxygen.
