“When a new technology becomes cheaper than the old one & can do all the same stuff, people switch…
1. The EV revolution will help save the planet’s environment bc it’ll allow us to electrify most of transportation, which accounts for ~1/4 of global CO2 emissions. 2. It’ll give us cheaper transportation than before, which will boost economic growth & make life easier for lots of people.”
Excellent explainer of why “EVs will win” by @noahpinion https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/all-the-arguments-against-evs-are #climatechange #economics
That's fundamentally incorrect!
At current quantities, electrifying (switching) all, for example, private combustion engine vehicles to EV's, will cause a CO2 emission "pulse" into the atmosphere. That will mean more climate heating therefore climate change (+ eco degradation to mine all the elements for the EV's).
In reality, sooner rather than later, we will have to accept that we will need to shrink the energy inefficient sectors of the economy.
