Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Are electric cars really that much better for our environment?
Evryone talks about electric vehicles and how great they are for the enviroment but are they really that great?
It depends on the source of electricity powering the cars. For example, if the electricity used to power the car comes from burning coal, it is not very efficient. However, if the electricity comes from wind, dams, or solar power sources then it is very efficient.
I agree with that but I also think it's also about the long term impact. If you're using a rechargeable battery and you don't use gas in your electric car, that will save you so much money and I will be greener for the earth because you're not imputting co2 emissions. So in the long term yes. It can have a great impact. But it has to be constant to work
