Letter to the editor: EVs and the environment
To all you people who think buying an EV to appease President Biden’s Green New Deal, listen up.
No. 1: EVs have a much larger carbon footprint than gas-powered cars. The weight of the vehicle causes more rubber tire wear.
No. 2: Almost every component — nickel, cobalt, lithium — is among the dirtiest minerals to mine, most of which are not mined in America.
No. 3: When the batteries in these cars break down, they produce a toxic gas, which I guess is really great for the environment according to Biden and all the Green New Deal people.
EVs are almost twice as bad for the environment as gas-powered cars, with a long sustaining carbon footprint that you can leave for your grandchildren, not to mention how the toxic gases are affecting air quality.
So if you’re thinking of wasting your money and think you’re saving the environment, think again, and don’t listen to Biden’s bull. If you don’t believe the above, please look it up and make an educated decision. We must fight this stupidity and save our auto industry.
