I’m sorry but if you’re drilling and selling massive amounts of oil I don’t care how many electric cars you drive. All that oil’s on you.
That raises a question… What creates the emissions, the selling or the burning?
Is it the casino’s fault the gamblers have such an easy time ruining their life and reaching bankruptcy? Is it the fault of the celebrity for making such an enticing commercial and being in partnership with the casinos?
Regulation is better than prohibition, it seems like sometimes if you cut off supply, demand means the supplier changes (eg. vapes, gambling)… whereas some things are easily replaced, there’re viable/easier alternatives (eg. coal, types of betting). What is deemed “personal responsibility” in one locale is exploitative in another; capitalist or predatory? It’s not easy
Yes, regulation is better than prohibition, but it seems highly unregulated nowadays.
The oil is sold because there is demand
And how much oil did they sell?
Wow…
How are petrol sales and what the infrastructure look like now? Is there much change there yet?
There’s still tons of petrol cars. This is obviously just new cars. Not cars in general
Of course. Everything that came before naturally still exists :)
Some gas stations, mostly ones without the store, are closing in saturated areas but most are still there just with charging stations in the lot next to the pumps.
Great! Really appreciate the insight. Very exciting times! :)
Please tell me they didn’t buy Teslas.
Edit: also “98 diesel cars were registered” which are worse than petrol cars. Still very low numbers.
diesel is popular and common outside the US, only the USA is hellbent on petrol cars.
Most misleading headline ever, wow
WOW, that’s truly amazing. That rate keeps up for long enough, they’ll replace almost everything for electric.
That’s what happens when you make it cheaper. Everyone else has dropped subsidies.
You don’t even need to subsidies electric. You just need to tax all carbon and pollution at the actual cost to society.
The only reason petrol is preferred elsewhere is due to the lack of infrastructure. You can get petrol/gas everywhere. Charging your car is less reliable and needs effort to find. While it’s not really a problem for most people’s driving habits day to day, it’s a perceived problem.
As energy prices continue to rise and solar continues to drop, it will become more and more economical to have electric car and solar charging.
I was optimistic for a while that we could be dragged kicking and screaming into the future, and the scary part is that musk made it possible. At this point I don’t expect that news from the us in my lifetime
*gasoline or diesel. You cannot use petrol without refinement.
I think only the Americas use Gasoline, while rest of the world uses Petrol.
Norway uses benzin
Bensin if were using the local speak
