This is something I've had problems with after thinking about it a bit more over the past year. Electric vehicles realistically are not that much, if any, better than vehicles using gas as the pollution generated is different.<br>How do you generate the electricity for it? You can say solar panels and windmills but, windmills can be quite problematic as birds may ram into them, the incident in Texas where the windmills iced over or whatever, etc. Solar panels require batteries and batteries require materials such as nickel that cause problems outlined in the video. <br>Not to mention, both require near perfect and constant conditions for them to generate energy (i.e. need a windy area for a windmill, sunny area for solar, etc.). If you're using entirely solar and wind, what happens when there's no wind nor sun to fuel either? Better hope you have a backup generator or battery with some charge on it.<br><br>I hate the fact people have deluded themselves into this thought process that electric vehicle is instantly better for the environment and whatnot. The simple reality is it really isn't and whether it be fossil fuels, solar, wind, nuclear, etc., <b>everything</b> generates pollution of some type and the only thing that we can possibly do to not generate pollution is to not exist as a whole. <br><br>The goal shouldn't be 1 extreme or the other (all solar/wind/hydroelectricity or fossil fuels). The goal should be <b>balance</b> (think the adage of using stuff in moderation such as ibuprofen or whatever). Attempting to completely remove 1 thing out of humanity's "lifestyle" is a quick way to damage your own capabilities in the long run in one way or another.,(reply>), windmills pail in comparison to other causes of death to birds," if you really want to save the birds then get rid of your cat and paint your windows black. <a href=""https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds"">https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds</a>",(reply>), It's just another heavy industry that currently enjoys a bunch of positive PR and propaganda. It's run by another crop of scammers and grifters who don't want to pay their own way or clean up their messes.,(reply>), "the incident in Texas where the windmills iced over or whatever" What. That never happened. Please, for the love of god, actually look it up before you repeat something like that.
