When you plug in your smugmobile, where do you think the power comes from? Unicorns?

When you wash your shiny smugwagon, what do you think powered the plants that created the shiny space doors?

When you enjoy “fart mode” in your smugsedan, what do you think is powering the cloud storage for all the tech that lets your car engage in flatulence for your own entertainment?

p.s. I’m an concerned about climate change as anyone, and I try to do my part. But PART of my part is learning what helps and what’s hype. Right now…you fell for the hype, and you’re being smug about being duped. [/quote]

Your ignorance (and smugness) is showing. Educate yourself about energy and utility scale electricity, read up on legit studies. You are just recycling tired arguments that have very little to do with current reality.

Today, the cheapest source of electricity is solar, owning to a 10 fold decrease in cost over the past decade. New electricity capacity added in 2020 is 50% solar and batteries, 25% wind, 25% gas. We just don't build new coal and nuclear power plants anymore because they are too expensive for generating electricity. There is a renewables revolution afoot and it will only accelerate with the electrification of transportation.

It will take a while to change how the world generates its energy, but electricity will mostly be renewable in 20 years.

For the individual choices, you can literally have 0 emission from your transportation, all with Tesla cars and solar generation and storage. Yes, its not cheap, but if rich people want to pay for it, let them do it and as far as I'm concerned they can be as smug as they like.[/quote]
