Watch this video and ask yourself this question: why is the left obsessed with electric vehicles?

On average, you might get less emissions from EV’s, but they’re not all they’re hyped up to be. Here are the facts.

1. Electric vehicle parts rely on lithium batteries. Manufacturing lithium batteries, largely in China, for electric vehicles releases 30% MORE emissions than normal combustion engine manufacturing.

2. Our electricity is still primarily generated from natural gas + coal. So, depending on the fuel mix, your EV might rely on these fossil fuels and have higher emissions than a normal vehicle.

3. Forcing natural gas out of the market - which the left wants to do by banning fracking - ends up bringing us back to coal, which has 1.5x more emissions than natural gas.

4. Electricity is mostly generated by natural gas, nuclear, and coal. Solar and wind make up a VERY small percentage of that, despite taxpayers paying massive subsidies for it.

5. So when President Biden promises a new fleet of electric vehicles. Ask yourself: what powers those electric vehicles? And do they really deliver a “green revolution” the left is promising you?

To conclude:

So while average emissions might be less, it depends entirely on the energy source from the grid.

EV’s are far from an environmentalist panacea. Massive infrastructure is required to support them, range is limited, and large industrial transport still needs gas.
