re: Tax credits for electric cars are a classic income transfer to the rich - WSJ

Electric cars allow owners to shift the pollution from their tailpipe, to that coal plant, just over the state line.

This is very popular in places like California, where people choose to believe that they’re helping the environment.

It allows them to feel both smug, and virtuous.

While not being particular virtuous.

I can't figure out if you and people like you are stupid or brainwashed.

Nevermind if you "believe in" climate change or not, let's just make the basic assumption that burning fossil fuels creates pollution, and that pollution is bad. Fair?

We have power plants that pollute directly and power plants that don't pollute directly. We have cars that pollute directly and cars that don't pollute directly. If the goal is to reduce pollution, where the frick do you suggest we start? How about any-fricking-where? Why must you shite on people who are at least doing SOMETHING to try to stop fricking up the planet?

If we'd eventually like to use 100% renewable and clean energy, we have to stop burning shite in the power plants and in our cars. Does it make you feel better about yourself by talking shite about people who do their part to get us there?
