I was asking, not making a point. I saw a documentary about the catastrophic environmental impact of lithium mining in Argentina. When I expressed a view critical of a conversion from ICE to EV I had a conversion to trains instead in mind
We must be talking about different conversations
I’m sceptical of electric cars because I believe trains are the better solution. No batteries at all, and no microlastic pollution (tyres). Also much less steel and other materials needed per person-kilometre, and the train cars last for tens of millions of kilometres, not just 200k or so.
Ah yes, the “Franco isn’t as bad as Stalin” argument
Asking a question is making shit up?
Why are you so angry towards me?
Die Kapitalisten hatten noch nie ein Problem mit Diktatoren
It means that an organisation with more resources and presumably more competent experts than you have come to conclusions which differ from yours
Ahat about lithium production? Do you know much heavily contaminated water that leaves behind?
I don’t have an ICE car, by the way. Nor will I buy one.
Well, the EU determined otherwise
Amazing. In a bad way.
Also state subsidies.
Also not extracting profits for the shareholders (for now).
European cars could be much less expensive if the car makers weren’t required to make profits for their owners above all else.

They could stop the war. Boom, instant addition of ~1200 Russians every single day
Also zero environmental protection.
Not exactly. The chinese state is subsidising their car export prices - which is what the EU has a problem with.
Same. All hail the mighty Kalamata.
The EU doesn’t allow monopolies.
That’s like you having to pay 200 €. You’d rather not but it’s not a problem.
Like providing health care to women?
You see, people are pointing this out because what is and isn’t a crime changes over time. Slavery however is always bad. Hence we should never enslave people.
