But looking at things from another perspective...

FWIW

Electric cars have impact.  They aren’t looking at the big picture.

Pssssssttttt... the big picture is reality... and they never see it coming!

FWIW

Or they see it and are arrogant enough to think it won’t affect them.

No One is Telling You the Truth About Electric Cars, So I Have To

FWIW

You have to spend money to save the environment. 

They can't even keep a virus under control... so how do they think they can save the environment.

By the way: The trillions of dollars they are spending right now is not saving the environment nor our planet... but it is destroying our economy and making them richer!

I don't believe the deal that you can spend money to save the environment. Our planet was here long before any humans were. And it went through the ice age and draughts long before we walked the earth. And it will be here long after we kill our own selves off too.

We can help to keep it clean, we can do thing to reduce pollution, but we cannot save the environment.

FWIW

Cities in the U.S. are filthy.  Most them are littered with garbage. Rather than focusing on what they are, the first thing should be to clean up the streets, literally.

They need to clean up a lot... not just the streets, but all the graffiti everywhere, homeless encampments where literally s##t is on the side of the road, bad roads, bad bridges, bad... {fill in the blank}... but yet they're only interesting in spending money on something they cannot control!

FWIW

They need to fix potholes, too.
