Not true. Large-scale power plants are WAY more efficient at turning fossil fuels into work than internal combustion engines. Even if all electric car power was generated by coal (it’s not, almost half of electricity generation now is nuclear + renewables), electric cars would still have net emissions that are half of gas cars.
That’s not a huge problem. Chernobyl and Five Kilometer Island were old reactor designs, and Fukushima mostly sustained an earthquake+tsunami (it would fully succeed under better corporation oversight)
I think electric cars address climate change Once we stop using coal and gas powerplants
Cause then all we are doing is shifting it

Only if we go balls deep on Nuclear
Looks at state of world…
Oh we’re going balls deep in Nuclear my friend. Just not the kind you’re talking about.

Mmmm, spicy sexy times indeed.
