re: #92 John Hughes

Thing is, though, improving Joe Average’s car mileage from 25mpg to 35mpg doesn’t save as much fuel as one might initially think.

And the problem with electric vehicles is that the majority of electricity generation in the world is still by fossil fuels.

And furthermore, battery production is another energy intensive industry.

There are many reasons why global CO2 emissions have not slowed down. It’s not just malice (though there is plenty of that from the denier industry.)

Global demand for living an energy-intensive lifestyle (as we have here in the US) is not something one can just bottle up.
