I'm a bit disappointed that the blue meters are not physical meters...

By the way, since we don't live in a bubble, one action in one place, causes another in another place in the global economy

I'm sure no one is happy when presented with this little fact...

Capitalism can be brutal but we all knew that.

But we all believe what we want to believe and there is no shortage of varying opinions out there, depending on who the sponsors of those ideas are.

Solar panels also require quite a bit of very dirty mining to be produced only to be disposed of eventually...

I have nothing against electric cars personally.

Frankly, this is misleading garbage--a qualitative, pseudoscientific FUD argument about topics on which there is near universal agreement. Virtually every responsible analysis of both electric cars and solar energy say they can play very important roles in reducing greenhouse gases.

It may be that you have no interest in reducing greenhouse gases. But please spare the rest of us the misinformation.

To be fair, I'm not a Jeep or SUV customer, so my opinion really doesn't matter.

I’m all for reducing all kinds of gases. Including hot gases.

You seem very confident in your knowledge. I’m sure the state of Texas would be a great place to send off your resume so there won’t be 4 million people without power next winter. Let’s start with that basic problem before we solve the others.

I’m sure it will include a warning sticker not to stare at them while operating the motor vehicle as that can cause serious injury...
