First electric tractor ride

Again, distract from the facts. China produces 1/2 the CO2 than the US on a per person basis. Make light of it all you want.

The rest of the world sees us for what we are. We just don't like the label.

Well...the FACT is Moss the idea is to save the planet...correct? Internet research doesn't matter. We (the US could be 100% clean Energy which is a pipe dream fallacy anyway)...now we're in the non-peeing section of Earth's pool. Does that save the planet? Noooooo...Does switching to electric cars/trucks save the planet?
We need a common sense administration working Worldwide solving the CO2 and many other pollutants problems.

I saw an EV plugged into a small running generator like that sitting next to our gas station a few months ago. Kinda shook my head.

Hmmmmm...hopefully thinking! We'll see more of that!

What does per person have to do with it? ...

Pretty simple. Each one of us consumes more than each two of them. Telling them to stop doing something we've been doing for the better part of a century doesn't fly with the parts of the world that are living a lower standard than us.

Who freaking cares what the rest of the world thinks? They need to reduce their emissions but it's not our job to tell them.

Must be trying to drive across Texas without stopping for a few hours of charging.

Depending what direction that California plated car is going in Texas, it will have to stop numerous times for generator gas with 2 days driving to get to another state.

That right there is why the rest of the world hopes the US fails. Arrogance.

No, your wrong. It's your arrogance that thinks the US is responsible for the climate.

CO2 is good for the planet, do you want more and denser crops? Or do you prefer to see starving people? CO2 is running at 400-500ppm, plants die at 150ppm and during the Jurrasic CO2 was up to 4500ppm, and that wasn't an issue. CO2 has nothing to do with the temperature and besides, we are still coming out of the last ice age, so naturally the planet is still warming. CO2 is good not evil, enviro-whackos are what's evil.

We are responsible for our contributions to the problem, as we've been causing a disproportional portion for so long.

We're still pumping out twice as much per person as they are. That's the facts.

I understand the truth is somewhere in the middle. My California friend I just talked with last night recently bought a Chevy Bolt. His electric bill doubled. Yes, but, still cheaper than gas or diesel...maybe not with what fuel prices were 2 years ago...but then again they're having restricted power usage (he said their bedroom is 96°F!)...then again the car was $35K & "rides like a buck board" (his words)...and the battery costs how much & lasts how long?
Whatever blows your skirt.

Yep 96F bedrooms here too and emergency measures now in place as not all schools have A/C and office buildings closing.

Part of the plea is no appliance use or EV charging during peak times
