Yep it’s brain dead economics. They don’t even discuss these issues with electric cars. None of the issues. Including with carbon planting more trees.
A guy, can’t remember his name now came up with running cars on water he had the car turn into hydrogen with a bottle of water and it worked. You can get water out of the air so if it puts water out you can pull it back with a dehumidifier. No toxic batteries filling landfills. No mining the earth for minerals that can run out faster than oil.
Then the guy died of food poisoning at a dinner with oil people, I’m guessing he declined selling his patent to them.
Even then there would of been a winter problem with the water freezing up.
