Electric Vehicles, not the answer

I am all for ensuring we have a clean environment to hand down to the next generation, but are electric vehicles really as clean as you think? Lets have a healthy discussion.

Hunter- I am so glad you answered my video. While you do mention some great points, I also just want to point out, majority of our hydrogen is made by steam reforming natural gas and other fossil fuels, good for the environment as people think. While the tailpipe emissions may be cleaner than an internal combustion engine, it’s not necessarily better than EVs for the environment. Thanks for answering my question and providing great insight.

I came here from another video about the wonderful world of EVs. It's interesting to examine the language difference. This video stated the percentage of current fossil fuel energy plants as a percentage. The other video had to word their claim that there are some places that are very high in wind and solar and the rate is going up all the time so they avoided the reality of where the grid is now on the green scale.
Now Texas is asking the EV drivers to not drive so much and overrun the grid because it's summer when everyone is running their air conditioners and the windmills aren't turning because there is no wind.

Nice truck! Did you buy it just for the look or do you use it for work purposes?

Two kinds of electric bus technology: battery electric which is new and problematic, and trackless trolleycoaches taking power from overhead lines, the basic design goes back some 100 years.
They're finding ways to recycle the material in wind turbine blades.

You forgot to mention that if you use a Fast Charger it kills the EV batteries 🔋 even quicker ! Recently on a trip I stopped at a State Run gas station on Rte 93 in NH. It also has a large Tesla charging station with multiple chargers. The waiting line was just absolutely crazy. I gassed up my F-350 and was out of there in less than five minutes & waved Bye 👋 Bye 👋 to the idiots waiting in line . Thanks but No thanks 🙏 .

I wont be EVER buying electric anything! I can go nearly 500 miles on one tank of gas with my Toyota 4 banger and I run only non ethanol fuel so it cost me 90 bucks to fill my 22 gallon tank from 19 gallons empty! I don’t care one bit! My chainsaws, weedeaters, blowers, and 1/5 Rcs are ALL GAS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸BURN FUEL ROLL SOME COAL LET THE RUBBER EAT!! 🤣God Bless Y’all!
