The EV bubble is well behind us. People are looking for cheap reliable EVs that meet their daily needs. Very few can afford a new Rivian or Tesla, and even fewer now are willing to take out loans to finance one. More fancy EV companies will go bankrupt and dissolve unless they change their priorities.

Companies like GM, Ford, and Stellantis are going to start producing more utilitarian EVs. Meanwhile BYD is doing well, why? Because they build utilitarian barebones cheap EVs that get the job done.

When I used nicotine gum what I did was a started switching between the nicotine gum and regular gum. I eventually ran out of nicotine gum and just chewed regular gum for a while. I think the dependency and money is what pissed me off enough to stop, anger is always good motivation.

Solar, wind, nuclear, green hydrogen, hydro, geothermal.

There absolutely should be a penalty, fucking ridiculous that we have a system that defers serious legal shit to 7 individuals who aren't even elected. 3 of which were appointed by an orange reality TV star.

Yes, but overall it would be net negative carbon dioxide emissions.

Yea that's an example of greenwashing.

Algae doesn’t capture it for long.

Not true, it depends on how it's contained. Drying algae and removing the water will stop it from decomposing. Think of seaweed used for sushi except ground up into a very dense powder. Algae will decompose if left hydrated in the sun though.

Yea, and one of the best ways to sequester carbon dioxide is by using algae. Algae biofuels are a great way out of the climate crisis. Use excess energy to produce algae biofuel, net negative emissions.

In order for that we need more renewable energy, otherwise we're just burning fossil fuel, producing carbon dioxide, and then capturing it. Solar, wind, algae biofuel, renewable diesel, green hydrogen, etc. We have to be careful how we use energy otherwise we're just producing carbon dioxide to capture carbon dioxide.

Algae does it for free all the time. Physically trying to capture carbon dioxide is dumbassery. We need more investment in algae production.

Pretty soon they'll just need a handful of robot technicians.

They just need to believe that climate change isn't real harder, that'll help them.

Good, they should be far cheaper than gasoline cars. America is losing to China when it comes to EVs, and many other things.

Nope, wrong. Entirely.

Everything the Republicans do is projection. One of the purest forms of "Rules For Thee but Not for Me".

We don't have capitalism in the US, we have late-stage crony capitalism. Regulated capitalism is fine, but we are in a crony capitalist system which feeds corporate greed. Our government is controlled by a handful of mega corps which have their hands pulling the strings due to the lobbying system. It wasn't always this way, which is why I don't blame capitalism, I blame human greed.

Those are all great questions.
