Take away all government subsidies for electric vehicles and lets find out how popular they really are.<br><br>Also, the same people that bellyache about fracking are strangely silent about the pollution from mining these metals.,(reply>), @Thaladria Taeyeon As a person from a country where 90% of the gas and diesel prices are tax: "WTF are you smoking?",(reply>), Take away all the government subsidies for oil and gas and see how expensive it will become.,(reply>), @Martijn Maas <br>If you actually talk with people or observe people talking, you'll notice that the same people who support environmental destruction caused by buying "green" are almost always the same people who complain about fracking. The reason : they buy into all the "environmentalist" propaganda that tells them what to focus on, but don't have a clue how the real world actually operates. There's literally zero "tin foil hat conspiracy" necessary to explain such a simple phenomenon.,(reply>), @Martijn Maas agreed. <br><br>the best way to save the planet is probably to engineer a deadly virus killing 90% of humanity. i hear china recently gave that a try recently :D<br>but you know how it is with chinese engineering ...^^,(reply>), How do you know these are "the same" people?<br><br>Sorry to see how you degrade your interesting statement in to a tinfoil hat conspiracy with a remark like that.
