[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want products that are made that meet high environmental standards and treat workers well, you should support tarrifs.

Consuming dirty energy sources contributes to the climate crisis.[/quote]

So why are you supporting more dirty energy in the US?[/quote]

DP but a lot of what is called clean energy is actually bull$hit. Ever look up how they make those EV batteries? [b]Did you know that EVs cause much more particulate pollution near roadways?[/b]

The new deal is nothing but a money grab. We cannot consume our way out of the climate and environmental crises. Instead, we need to simplify, consume less, and implement simple common sense approaches.[/quote]
Unsurprisingly that’s not supported by data. There’s just one guy and his group saying that and there’s no proof that EVs are any dirtier than the average internal combustion car, all of which also release the same brake and tire dust (the Guardian article I linked that you won’t read says they do increase road wear and tear due to their higher weight though, I’ll give you that). https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/26/electric-cars-air-pollution-problem-brakes-tyres

Actually since this thread is about tariffs and Republicans happily ignoring evidence, let’s go just a bit further on your tangent.  You said “we need to simplify, consume less, and implement simple common sense approaches,” and I would take that to mean stuff like driving less, increasing fuel efficiency and building more densely. Those are three things that Republicans have resisted mightily and that elected Republicans have tried to defeat bills about.

There’s really nothing the Republican Party does that is to the benefit of anyone besides big business and billionaires. [/quote]
