fuminghumanist@Crell Melon Tusk, the 'green tech innovator' of electric cars, solar roofs, and batteries solved the AI draining the grid problem by illegally running a bunch of heavy polluting gas generators. Everything is ok now.

Green or Not So Green? The Diesel Secret Behind Tesla's Largest Supercharger - Vehiclesuggest
Tesla is setting the gold standard for innovation, performance, and most notably, sustainability.

PixeKnight@firstprimate @fuminghumanist @Crell OMG, yeah, I always suspected that just switching to EVs doesn't actually help all that much (BY ITSELF).
Like, we also need to shut down most of fossil power plants, only then does it make a dramatic difference.
Not to say switching to EVs bad, just that it feels like an excuse for governments to not invest in green energy, while we need to do BOTH.
@a_e_sayapov @firstprimate @fuminghumanist EVs on dirty electricity are still better than gas cars, since power plants are more efficient than your car is.
But yes, greening the grid is a required step that needs to be moving a lot faster.
NiceMicro@Crell @a_e_sayapov @firstprimate @fuminghumanist an EV is still a car, has tiers that make noise and microplastics, take up space, require half of your city covered with tar.
If you cared about the environment, you advocated for public transit, that is the most energy and space efficient way to move people around.
EVs are a scam to make selfish people who want the government to subsidise their luxuries but also want to feel like they are doing something good.
@nicemicro @Crell @firstprimate @fuminghumanist 💯 yes, public transport is the best solution to transportation.
And denser housing (apartments around 2 to 4 stories tall imo is optimal)
