    No dumbass, that’s very clearly not what I said nor what I was implying, and you know that.

    If the pollution is being produced in one area then we can actually capture and reduce the overall level of pollution which is produced.

    However, if we continue to use ICE cars then pollution will be scattered all over the place and there will be more of it as cars are less efficient than power stations.

    And in the mean time, we can of course transition over to renewables. The EV will happily accept power from both.

    See how that works?

    Try thinking just a little bit before responding. Legit felt like I was talking to a petulant child just there

        But I didn’t say:

        pollution is ok as long as it’s not in your backyard and happening in a confined locale…

        Nor did I imply otherwise. Stop lying you colossal piece of shit.

        I am saying that there would be less pollution overall running EVs which are charged by fossil fueled power stations compared to running ICE cars for the reasons I have already clearly explained and I see other commentators have already attempted to explain to you.

        It is overall a better solution. If we magically waved a magic wand and swapped every ICE on the road with an EV it would be overall better for everyone, even if the power source was from burning stuff to make it

        And yes, having power stations, which are usually not in dense residential areas is better as less people are breathing in the smoke at high concentrations.

        And those are the facts. It’s really simple if you actually read all of what I fucking wrote. Idiot.

        It still wouldn’t be a proper long term solution. I’m not saying that.

        Do you understand now or are you going to keep ignoring the very simple point?

        It must be so nice living in your level of ignorance and willfully completely ignoring literally half of the points being presented to you.

            Does it always work for you to just try and insult your way to making a point?

            You started it. I just returned the favour and was more overt.

            You’ve lost all credibility if you can’t make a point without doing so. I’ve not once called you a name, insulted your intelligence in any way,

            More lies. You very clearly said that I said something I did not say or insinuate. This was a very clear and deliberate act.

            yet you think this is a acceptable way to not only debate a topic, but win an argument.

            Again, you started it.

            I pity not only you personally, but those around you that have to put up with this behavior on an every day basis

            Take a look in the mirror.

            To compensate, you’d need to build many more powerplants and burn much more fuels to not only take up the slack just for vehicles, but for everyday household use as well. This would pollute even more.

            No, it would be less pollution. As I’ve already explained. Power stations pollute less than ICE cars for the same energy output.

            The fictional situation I described would be less pollution

            Again: read what I said.

            By adding the numerous new power plants, you’d have those be closer to neighborhoods than they are now.

            No reason that has to be the case.

            You seem to be completely ok with more pollution and raping of our environment as long as it’s not right there staring you in the face.

            I did not say that.

            I specifically said it would be less pollution. Which part of this are you not understanding?

            The entire continent would be better off as there would be less pollution.

            Which part of that is so difficult for your tiny mind to understand? How are you struggling to comprehend this very basic point?

            Everyone else I have spoken to about this has understood it very easily. You are the only one whl struggles with it

            You’re seemingly ok with exploiting an entire continent’s worth of people just so you don’t see some gasses escape a vehicle in front of your quaint home.

            Another lie.

            I’ve put my money where my mouth is. I have a fairly large solar installation. I’m getting a heat pump installed. My gas will be cut off soon and my car is an EV which is charged either by my solar panels or my grid connection which is 100% green (according to my supplier)

            Twice in as many paragraphs you’ve just made up stuff about me as a thinly vieled insult. Something you claim is beneath and you “feel sorry” for me for doing.

            You are massive hypocrite. The only difference is that I overtly called you a cunt.

            Really, I still don’t understand why you think I’m mischaracterizing what you’ve said

            Because you are. And the record clearly shows that. To which I’ve explained multiple times but funnily enough you never acknowledge what I actually said.

            because you’ve gone ahead and reiterated it here AGAIN.

            Because I’ve attempted no less than three times to explain it.

            Sadly I cannot make you understand the very basic point.

            That’s on you, not me.

            One more time:

            EVs being powered by fossil fulled power stations would be overall better for the environment compared to ICE cars and EVs not existing as there would be less pollution overall.

            I am not saying this is the ideal situation. We should still transition to renewables

            If it makes you so incredibly angry to read what you’ve written, perhaps you should take a look in the mirror and try thinking all the way through your ideal situations.

            Hypocrisy is a strong point for yourself it seems. Shame logic isn’t.

            You’ve admitted TWICE in this reply that you’re ok with pollution as long as it’s not near your home.

            Nope. I specifically said the exact opposite. I shall once again state the the overall pollution would be lower!

            Yet again you have lied about what I said and the point I was making.

            I’m not lying about anything here.

            The record here says otherwise.

            And this is why I’m insulting you: because you deserve it. You lie again and again about my very clear intent. So I’m calling you a cunt. Because you deserve it.

            I can see you did the exact same thing to another commenter in this thread.

            You are the problem. Not us.

            It must be wonderful to just ignore half of what is said to you and continue to live in your bubble of ignorance.

            If you reply with another pack of lies, I shall simply block you. I have a feeling you won’t be able to help yourself as you’ll want the “last word” but I won’t waste any more time on you if you continue on this idiotic route. Moron.
