There’s also the whole electric car thing. [/quote]

Electric cars don't run on unicorn dust. Unicorn dust also doesn't build roads or power road maintenance. If you've been thinking that electric cars will solve the climate change problem, you should stop thinking that.[/quote]
Your response proves you are an idiot child. You clearly know nothing about electric cars, nor about the future of distributed generation, which is funny because you pretend to be a know it all.  [/quote]

Distributed generation is great, but electric cars still aren't going to solve the climate change problem.[/quote]
What do you think the climate change problem is exactly? You don’t know what the grid emissions are nor do you seem to have a clue what the equivalent GHG emissions are for an electric car over current ICE tech. Before you think you want to engage on an issue that you think you know something, you better think again. Nothing worse than the aggressively ignorant. [/quote]

Are GHG emissions lower for electric cars than internal-combustion engines? Sure. But GHG emissions for other modes of transportation are lower still. Electric cars aren't going to solve the climate change problem.[/quote]
Look son. You have just shown in this post that you are out of your depth. You may want stop. [/quote]

NP.  Are you actually arguing that if all cars were suddenly switched to electric this would solve climate change?[/quote]
You are probably the same person but also clearly have no clue what you are talking about. I love you people, internet experts. Out of your depth and absolutely hilarious. [/quote]

Instead of insults, why don't you try responding with your actual thoughts on electric cars and climate change?[/quote]
I am insulting you because you claim to know what is needed and what is not needed to “solve climate change” when you clearly have not bothered to actually spend any time understanding the issue. You are an interloper on a subject that is complex and you your mental models are so simplistic that based on your willingness to make ignorant assertions I am not sure that you are capable of understanding much.

First of all, you don’t even have a target for atmospheric CO2. Start with that. Do you know Biden’s current target? Do you know Biden’s current emissions goal? You don’t know either of these, but you know what is needed to “solve climate change”?

Second, all approaches to climate change need to address all emissions sources and need to be multisectoral. In your mind because any one sector cannot reduce emissions sufficiently on its own (although you have no idea what the sectoral composition of emissions are and how much reductions are needed) that it is not worth doing anything. It’s both incredibly naive and ignorant.

Third, you don’t know what the transportation contribution to emissions are, you don’t know what an ISO is or grid emissions factors or understand the basic premise of decarbonization. So you in actual fact are informant as to whether or not electric vehicles in their own can indeed meet or emissions targets or how much electric vehicles can contribute to meeting emissions targets.

So yeah, I’m going to laugh at you and call you names. Because you are absolutely out of your depth.

Furthermore, you have no understanding nor even a prediction of whether or not the HOT lanes would increase GHG emissions and if so by how much. Totally farcical. Up and down.

So stop talking about things you have no clue about and have some humility. [/quote]
