    Hope all the miserable assholes who voted for stopping electrification feel it in every part of them. I hope they have to give up on real, meaningful life dreams forever because they are now unaffordable. And I hope their houses specifically burn down in the wildfires the CO2 from their gasoline made so common.

    I am beyond done with this gasoline bullshit.

        There are a lot of things people can do on their own… in a world where the median US income isn’t $45,000 and responsible and capable products aren’t tariffed to hell.

        Mass adoption comes with affordability which comes with support and clear, intentional direction. Consumers don’t shift paradigms when they think the new paradigm won’t go anywhere. We can’t even get people off of X - and that costs NOTHING.

        Electrifying on your own is prohibitively expensive for most people, and the fact that those people have to be prepared to also pay an additional premium because they’re fighting their own government at the same time, in a period in time where people can barely afford FOOD, is not tenable.

          Using energy costs more money than not using it. With the amount of people flying every day don’t tell me cost is the problem.
