By demanding exactness in a future prediction and then ridiculing the inevitable bad predictions by some, posters are able to justify their lack of empathy for future generations.

Tiberius Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Quote The oil industry vs. the electric car Electric vehicles could make up nearly half the fleet of passenger cars and trucks by 2040. But oil and gas companies are striking back. By GAVIN BADE 09/16/2019 05:04 AM EDT Share on Facebook Share on Twitter The oil industry is trying to crush the booming electric car movement. Groups backed by industry giants like Exxon Mobil and the Koch empire are waging a state-by-state, multimillion-dollar battle to squelch utilities’ plans to build charging stations across the country. Environmentalists call the fight a reprise of the “Who Killed the Electric Car?” battles that doomed an earlier generation of battery-driven vehicles in the 1990s. Oil-backed groups have challenged electric companies’ plans in 10 states, according to utility commission filings reviewed by POLITICO, waging regulatory and lobbying campaigns against the proposals. The showdown is taking place as utilities, eager to increase the demand for power, push for approval to build charging networks in locations such as shopping centers and rest stops in more than half the nation. “Fossil fuel interests control 90 percent of the transportation fuel market in the U.S. and are really feeling threatened,” said Gina Coplon-Newfield, director of the electric vehicle initiative at the Sierra Club. The counterattack involves an array of trade associations and industry-funded political groups representing every segment of the petroleum sector. we are being held hostage by these sh it heads trying to burn up the planet. The writing of laws for "Enviro-Crime" can't come soon enough. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/16/oil-industry-electric-car-1729429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
