If you find this argument even 1% logical, you’re a genius.

Up to 70% of the total electricity produced is via conventional sources. The rest 30% energy produced is via non-conventional sources, but here is a catch, these sources majorly include nuclear power plants. So, WE ARE polluting the environment but not directly. Let’s say I release 2 kg of carbon form 1 Kg Petrol then that is pollution, but what about the 1000 kg of carbon released while generating electricity which we will use to maybe charge 10–20 cars?
How will it save the environment when it releases 5 times more pollution to produce electricity.
Some of you smarty pants will say, “so why not run the whole world on fossil fuels?”
to which I will say, “It will exhaust if we did so!”.
And don’t get me started on radioactive waste management because it is tricky as hell and most of the time it is left untreated. It means Radioactive waste is much more polluting than Carbon!
Also, did you know that the invention of Electric vehicles was done in 1894?
Then why didn’t people adopt this practice of driving electric vehicles back then?
Because it didn’t made sense (It also doesn’t make right now!). Look, we all know how much we pollute the environment while producing electricity and then the loss incurred while the transfer of electricity is also huge. Why then should we waste so much potential, can’t we just use gasoline instead?
Look, in the end we do pollute the environment but in an indirect way. Isn’t it easier to use dead animals as fuel than to produce and transport electricity to our charging stations to charge a vehicle which we subconsciously know is inefficient as hell!
It’s like blaming the power plants for pollution and saying, “yeah, but can’t you bastards use solar power to generate electricity?”.
So, again to Elon Musk
“How do you save the planet when you produce so much pollution in making electricity?”.
Love you all,
