We have to get rid of the hypocrisy when it comes to environmentalism. If we are going to have rules and regulations, we need to have them for everything or nothing. Letting one group go free and go after another sector or industry is nothing but crony capitalism at its worst. OK let’s talk.
The Wall Street Journal noted on June 15, 2012 that “Hybrids take the track at Le Mans: Toyota challenges Audi for Crown as both automakers bring new cars to the race,” by AJ Baime and then a few days later , reported that two hybrids arrived. in first and second in an article entitled; “Le Mans: Electrifying victory for Audi’s hybrid”, and there you have it: the best in racing history. Show what exactly?
Well electric cars and hybrids are fine and you can buy one and drive it with the same or better performance, that’s all it means. But I ask at what price. A heavy one like hybrids usually cost a third more than a typical passenger car, and those batteries are dangerous when you throw them away or if you have a traffic accident. I guess this is a similar problem to all those new light bulbs we were forced to buy with mercury gas in them, now in your house, kind of scary, but that’s okay, because it saves energy.
When wind turbines kill bats and birds, that’s fine too, and it doesn’t matter if it takes CO2 to make the steel towers using coking coal that emits a lot of soot, which the EPA says is much worse, or to offset that CO2 15 years are needed. of use, that most of those wind turbines won’t last anyway. You see, we have a double standard here and that’s why I’m asking, if those hybrid sports cars crash and we’ve all seen the horrible crashes in such races, then all those batteries will leak and break, it’s dangerous waste.
Let me give you a different example, in California, if a pool cleaner driving a van spills one of those gallon plastic containers of muriatic acid on the road, the police call the hazmat truck and the fine is $25,000. . But if a hybrid car has an accident, well, you know “accidents happen,” then that’s fine because it’s a supposedly green vehicle. Well, how is it green if you just spill hazardous waste on the ground? Tell me, Mr. Environmentalist?
Please consider all this and think about it, and no, you cannot shoot the messenger nor will I allow him to yell at me. Fair is fair.
