  • That probably helped you, but did nothing for me, but that’s what you do. You gave up, assuming you even tried, and want to justify it. I’m invested in the future. I can’t give up. I quit a pointless research career to install rooftop solar. My body couldn’t take it after two years and now I’m back doing research relevant to the climate as a low level technician. I have a kid. I want them to have a kid because having a kid is amazing. People like you who assume we’re in a unrecoverable downward spiral are going to miss out on a future you thought wasn’t possible. I hope you never realize you’ve been wrong, because when you do it’ll be too late to go back and invest in your future.











  • I don’t get this. I thought I was a late adopter when I got my EV and I really like it. Wouldn’t go back to gas ever. I’ve heard that 98% of EV drivers wouldn’t go back either. It’s an objectively better vehicle. Yet when I suggest to friends who are car shopping to get an EV I’m surprised by the resistance. One just got a jeep with a V6 because of infrastructure anxiety, and they’re an electrical engineer. Another friend didn’t want an EV because of Tesla’s software and door handle issues. They didn’t seem to know their are other brands of EV. Didn’t know that our Nissans are EVs.

    I doubt most people will switch voluntarily. They’re unconvinced and a car is too expensive to be uncertain.
