Gotcha, understood! Yes, I didn't know that it was disinformation at all.
Our family is trying our best to cut down on consumption habits, from growing our own food to generally trying to be less wasteful of gas, electricity, etc., but it is difficult: we grew up in these conditions and "cutting the cord" is a tough thing to do.
I'd like to do whatever _really really helps us_ in the long run, you know? If that means EV conversion then so be it.
The other piece is that individual action is good, but laughably ineffective in broad strokes. When we talk about polluters and wasters of renewable and non-renewable resources, corporations are the biggest culprits.
If we really want to conquer climate change, it starts by forcing the market to internalize the economic costs rather than passing them onto the taxpayer (and individual). Policies like cap and trade, polluter pays, and so on, are what's most effective at curbing climate change. Incentivizing proactive shifts (and penalizing laggards) towards renewable resources in manufacturing are what's required.
