Climate Activists Pour Oil Over Electric Truck at Auto Show in Protest of EVs

Meme

Climate activists can ruin anything. They showed up at the New York Autoshow and, in a stunning and brave display, splashed some motor oil on an electric truck on display. It seems the climate nuts have suddenly realized that it takes fossil fuels to build electric cars.

"… above and beyond their gas consumption. Cars are constructed out of materials that are very difficult to produce. The excessive steel in cars is incredibly climate-unfriendly to produce." said activists.

Did the protesters walk there? We sure hope so. Even EVs are bad for the environment. We all need to live in 15-minute cities where everyone can get anything they need within a 15-minute walk.

Extinction Rebellion NYC writes:

Extinction Rebellion protestors interrupted the opening ceremony of the New York International Auto Show this morning, warning that there are "no EVs on a dead planet," and demanding acknowledgement that while the automobile industry sells electric vehicles as a climate solution, they are in fact not a solution at all.

Electric vehicles do not solve the fundamental problems with cars. The construction of electric vehicles is as carbon-intensive, if not more so, than that of conventional cars powered by fossil fuels. More important, cars themselves damage the climate in many ways above and beyond their gas consumption. Cars are constructed out of materials that are very difficult to produce. The excessive steel in cars is incredibly climate-unfriendly to produce. The many superfluous electronics in cars contain rare earth metals and require expensive, shipping-intensive manufacturing processes. The fact that cars are heavier and larger than they need to be means that all cars, including electric ones, are incompatible with a livable future.

XR is not protesting car lovers or driving hobbyists. Those forced to drive because of car-dependent infrastructure are being told that they can help solve climate change by switching to an electric vehicle. The truth is that unchecked car production, no matter the type of propulsion, is pushing us towards extinction. 

So drive an EV if you absolutely need a car to live, but you're still killing the planet.
