it is green washing if it's viewed as the end to climate change.

I don’t think this is the definition of green washing. Something doesn’t have to be the be all and end all solution to climate change to be a form green washing.

The efficiency of fossil fuel power plant production is greater than the efficiency of a single ICE car, so the overall emissions are lower, but emissions will grow the more people drive.

I think this is a reply that would change my mind on the effectiveness of evs and would like to see any studies that proove this.

No need to be snarky. You read my comment and then replied not addressing any of my points, as if you hadn’t registered them.

burning gas or switch to EVs

Youre still burning gas with evs, someway or another

I dunno, just think it’s a form of green washing. It’s not like there has been a tremendous shift in how we’re producing electricity, we’re still using coal and fossil fuels.

The only positive is that carbon emmissions from cars are lowered but those are somewhat offset by the increase in electricity production.

Edit: And if the environmental benefits aren’t there, there is zero reason to pick evs over traditional vehicles. Awful to drive, at least in my experience.

It’s got decades and decades of mythos built by countless artists and writers but the studios who run it, and George Lucas himself apparently, are so money hungry they reduse to take risks

Nah it has nothing to do with your intelligence. You shouldn’t in any form feel like you’re less than for not having a stupid piece of paper

People say Americans are friendly but I don't get it. I'm not White, though.

I genuinely think this is key, and probably why people don’t even acknowledge. Also part of why I get so pissed when they don’t.

Looks like I’m at the forefront of this door holding debate. As a former back of house restaurant employee, I’d probably get fucking wrecked for my opinion on tipping.
