rholio 339 Posted December 17, 2014 Looks like electric cars cause 3.6 times more soot and smog deaths than gas powered cars. http://www.sltrib.com/news/1951784-155/story.html Except when they don't, of course. But if the power supply comes from natural gas, the all-electric car produces half as many air pollution health problems as gas-powered cars do. And if the power comes from wind, water or wave energy, it produces about one-quarter of the air pollution deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,325 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm shocked you spouted off without reading the link. I read the link dummy. Let me help explain it for you: -Burning coal energy is bad for the environment -Many places use coal for electricity -Therefore it is not environmentally friendly to use electric cars in areas that use coal The moral of the story is we should use less coal, not that electric cars are bad. Only a focktard could fail to understand this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 822 Posted December 19, 2014 Which will be labeled as racist in a New York minute..... Perhaps, but the exponential population cannot be sustained. Child restrictions should have been enacted decades ago. People dislike the term eugenics because of the Nazi ties, but it could be the future of the human race. Genetic selection will eliminate the sick, lazy, stupid, violent, etc. Probably won't happen for another 1,000 years though. Til then, the overpopulation needs to stop or the human species might not make it that long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryHill9323 65 Posted December 19, 2014 Over population scaremongering has been around since the days that the enviro nuts were warning us we would all die from the impending ice age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
