Hell the environmental effects of electric hybrids are pretty effed up. Hard to tell the effects of pushing them through large subsidies have. The increase in electricity created through fossil fuels/nuclear/natural methods. The environmental effects of creating and disposal of old and new vehicles, the economic impacts of paying 20k more for a car that save about 1200 dollars a year and the how long you hold onto a car to recoup the costs for the sake of the environment. creation and disposal of a growing amount of batteries. Much like the disposal of growing waste of computers.
Hard to predict the economic/environmental impacts of just pushing one fix. Now tie that into everything else which is currently changing. Hard to tell the effects the costs and rewards over time. Id like to believe there is some number junkies brilliant fucks out there who know all of it. but i find it hard to believe especially looking at the incentives there results are based on.
Hard to say. Dont want to sound nihilistic but its hard not too. Maybe better to focus energy of climate change math heads to better what we have. Focus on the now. And be very skeptical of incentives of people promoting the same arguments of heaven or hell in decisions.
- you realize those hybrids are made by the same people, right?scarabin
