Please tell us again which model of EV you drive. So, buying an EV will make a difference even though US autos contribute 3% of the world’s CO2? Even if every US auto was an EV, the CO2 emissions don’t go to zero because 60% of our electricity comes from hydrocarbons. And there is a significant CO2 burden to build the EV, just like virtually every consumer item. Buy an EV because it meets your needs not because of some delusional fantasy that you will single-handedly “save the planet”. I fail to understand why people have such a hard time dealing with and understanding basic facts.

Doing something is better than doing nothing and Europe is buying more E-vehicles than the US is. Personally, I will be dead and the Earth will have increasing HEAT problems. And I doubt that it will get fixed without a lot of science and LUCK. Maybe in 100 years fusion reactors will supply endless power for all of humanity. And all wars are history.
.......The reason that I write about this subject is because such a large percentage of TOTV people are completely unaware of the Global Warming problem. And it is not just The Villages it is most of the whole US. The scientists have NOT been able to convince the average person about how important Global Warming really is.
