EVs are more popular in Europe, than they are here. Not because Europeans are more interested in saving the planet but because countries like Germany pay almost $7 a gallon for gas. Like I said before, it all has to do with money.
Air quality IS better today than it was when I was a child. Money HAS been spent, sometimes wasted on ideas. The only way to completely rid our planet of man made pollution is to get rid of mankind, period. And that ain't gonna happen. Humans have populated the world for thousands of years. I don't care what research is done under the guise of a cure for global warming, climate change and air quality. Just don't force me to pay for it when there are a lot of wealthier folks exploiting the environment for their own enjoyment. As long as the law allows it, I will use fossil fuel, burn wood in my smoker(or charcoal) and run my A/C. As far as global warming is concerned, I am all for it. I didn't move to Florida for the sand, sand fleas and swamps. And I didn't move here for snow skiing either. I'm one more vote for warm weather and sunshine.
