    I’m sorry but if you’re drilling and selling massive amounts of oil I don’t care how many electric cars you drive. All that oil’s on you.

        Is it the casino’s fault the gamblers have such an easy time ruining their life and reaching bankruptcy? Is it the fault of the celebrity for making such an enticing commercial and being in partnership with the casinos?

      Oil executives are able to get the US government to invade other countries and dismantle functioning public transport, domestic auto sales are a piece of cake.

      • True, Iraq wars & Venezuela invasion & capture of their leader & his wife, anyone. How many of The USA lives lost & most importantly our species & all other species lives lost & how much the environmental issues like ‘Global Warming’ worse contributed to?

    Okay but 2000 electric cars is still bad because thats 2000 more cars on the road than needed. Almost every car is bad, that includes electric ones.
