Oh dear Tesla, I need some reason.

I can't get through this.....person's....I was talking to about why we need to change over to electric vehicles. And how going green will help us in the global warming crisis as well as homeland security. They will not thinking about how things always worked . They are holding on to the old ways of thinking end of story.

Finally told her to go study up on all this issues. You can get information at your local library, on line classes on the subject and magazines. They can talk to me after she has studied.

One can be religious, but one still have to live in the here and now world.

Thank you. I needed to vint.

"green" and no pollution or excess carbon happens when they are produced.

Of course, people who live in places like Los Angeles, and only drive 60 miles at a time, are not at all bothered by the limits of how far an electric vehicle can go. But for many of the rest of us, who need to drive much farther (for me, it's the nearly 750 miles from Santa Fe, to Overland Park, KS) and don't really want to spend several hours recharging a battery when filling up a gas tank takes maybe five minutes.

Not to mention, the EVs are all vastly more expensive than I would every pay for a car. My current vehicle is a 2017 Honda Fit, purchased in 2018 for a bit under $20k. I am constantly astonished at the amount of money people are apparently willing to pay for a car. Me, I always pay cash, always have. That's actually a nice, limiting thing. It means if I don't have the cash, I don't buy the car. Or, more to the point, I buy what I have the cash for.

is getting bad. Add to it the jobs to make better EV's. The whole switch will help the planet.
Ya know these christian conservatives are so hot about job but they don't want to change their old ways to make it happen.

(Nasally voice) it's too hard. There is no science behind "Green Energy". The Grean New Deal is to expensive and no proof it will help.

Why can't this christian conservatives study about all this stuff to understand the big picture. We all know it's going to take time but we need to do so much and we needed to start 2decades ago.

Nothing will be overnight. People are working to make it clearer. That's why more people will be needed for jobs in the field.
