This is easily explained like most anti EV articles.
Don’t forget about alternate motivations (money and power). We know that there is an extreme amount of money put into tricking the public to not buy EVs from many organizations (Political, gas and oil companies, countries depending on gas and oil production… Etc). Check the source - it’s Faux news… Red flag
does this make sense, do we have a comparison? Surely this can’t be the first time EVs were cold. I live in Europe, and I know the Nordic countries have tons of EVs. When I was in Iceland during the winter, I rented a EV and it was fucking cold. Mine was fine, they all are fine despite likely worse conditions… This article may have some seeds of truth somewhere but sounds like bullshit.
Good point, sorta but not buying prevents it’s creation regardless of its safety while being used.
Honest question, what about when it comes off after being applied? Looking at Nonstick pans. They are notably something that flecks off the coating in your food.
Or prolonged direct skin contact from clothing, and then washing that clothing, tent, or other item. Washing it does removes some of PFAS into the water supply.
I don’t know about you all, but after cleaning something with water resistance, I end up reapplying it with something like scotch guard. I have no idea how many cans of scotch guard I’ve used (I love outdoor activities). Never used gloves or a mask using that stuff.
I find it’s helpful to mention what you can do to avoid them and their creation.
Where are PFAS found? Cleaning products. Water-resistant fabrics, such as rain jackets, umbrellas and tents. Grease-resistant paper. Nonstick cookware. Personal care products, like shampoo, dental floss, nail polish, and eye makeup. Stain-resistant coatings used on carpets, upholstery, and other fabrics.
Honest question: aren’t they already (despite and including their problems) safer than human drivers? They expectations shouldn’t be perfection (especially at their beginning point), but simply better than us… Which shouldn’t be hard.
My dude… Says who? You? It’s not hard to Google - you find lists of them when you do.
Of course there is. Not saying no vegans eat it ever. It could be a regional variable, but I’m speaking about population as a whole, not your local vegan restaurant. Google says 86% of plant based meat is bought by meat eaters. I also work in the field so have some knowledge on the subject. 86% is about right but could be 5-8% high. But in any case, the people who buy it are broadly meat eater, or more likely “flexitarians” .
And vegans should eat more plant based meats. The better brands are very healthy and it could help them stick to their vegan diets.
There’s actually a lot of plant based meat that are chemical / preservative free, Redefine Meat comes first to mind. As there is a lot of animal meat that is full of chemicals, preservatives, carcinogens, and antibiotics use.
I would only assume most fast food meals, meat ones included, are not chemical / preservative free. That’s a western fast food problem, vegan or not.
Lastly, vegan people broadly don’t eat plant based meats. Like it get the joke… It’s just broadly inaccurate. Meat eaters, people trying to eat less meat, and some vegetarians buy plant based meats.
… Afraid to ask. What is it?
Yes and no. It is not in your face anti EV, that would be too obvious and it does not need to be. Answer a few questions for yourself (don’t worry answering them to me).
Will this article make people want to buy a EV as their only car?
Is this article mostly for or against EVs? Would you say it’s 80 or 90 percent about the problems of owning a EV?
Does this article have fair criticism of gas cars and gas Infrastructure in wild fires? Do they even mention the issues with gas cars and fires?
Will people question the safety of a EV after reading this?
They address peoples personal safety while charging, specifically for woman (the most likely buyer of a EV). They talk about back areas, poorly lit places where you are alone and they could be dangerous. How will this make women feel when considering their next car purchase?
The US like everywhere has a history of nearly 100% gas cars and gas car infrastructure. To have a article pointing out that gas car infrastructure is better than electric vehicles infrastructure is shortly said as no shit, how is that not obvious? So then what’s the point of pointing out the obvious? More importantly what’s the cause of pointing this out? More people will consider not buying a EV. When less people buy a EV there will be less infrastructure for them. See where this is going?
I get it, you feel like we need to talk about the problem to fix them. But do we? Is this not obvious already? Do we all not know that taking a EV into remote areas and wildfires may not the the best of ideas?
EVs are great in 999 ways out of 1000, but let’s find one extreme example of how they may not work perfectly in extreme conditions that won’t happen to the majority of people. There are obvious bias things in the article, as with many anti-EV articles as gas companies pour millions every year into anti-EV articles. Do they mention gas stations are turned off around fires for obvious reasons so gas vehicles also have issues - nope. There are simple obvious solutions around this that are simply not presented.
It just reminds me of an article that I read everywhere about how a tesla blew up. Nearly every article talked about it like it just spontaneously blew up. Nearly no article mentioned that it blew up after it collided into a huge boulder on the road. Nor did they mention that the driver was totally fine as it caught fire half an hour after the accident. Or the obvious, that gas cars can also blow up but they slam into a boulder at high speeds.
Is it? Is it really? Should it be?
Unfortunately data does not back that up. German people in fact drink more often and heavier, also into adulthood.
I would assume there is good data to back it up as depression rates tend to trend in this way way as well. With that said, alcoholism in Germany is still worse than with US states at the same light levels. Also if you take a peek at lists of alcoholism Lists of alcoholism there are both dark and sunny countries in favorable and unfavorable places. So I’m not sure it can be a sole factor in drinking rates but likely a contributing factor.
Unfortunately alcoholism problems are worse here in Germany than the US. Many point to the early drinking ages for this, personally I see it is more a general cultural issue.
Depends on the company. It’s often used innocently to identify that you are a person, and a specific person. Other times it gets tossed into huge data bases. I work in sales and it’s crazy what personal details you can see about people when you use expensive Software.
Germany may be a poor example. I do happen to live in your example (Germany). And it’s far fetched to say Germany isn’t diverse. You know how many guest workers to refugees we have taken in since the 60s? I just googled “foreigner percentage US” and the same for Germany. It’s 13% for US and 18% for Germany. This is non-inclusive of the millions of second or third generation Turkish here.
Also, if you have ever been a foreigner in Germany like myself, you would know that these number are far overstated for German people that can usefully speak another language. There are better examples for your point, like Holland or Luxemburg with genuinely high second or third language levels. Or you can also look at native English countries and see the US isn’t alone in it’s low adoption of second languages.
*white Americans maybe. There is a massive amount of the US that English is their second language… But not speaking a second language is really a problem many places.
Yeah… But why didn’t they cut the hard bits off the end of the garlics?! I would be upset if I was him too. No one wants hard chunks on their garlic garlic garlic bread.
Boy I’m getting super sick of these, “Millennials are doing this ____ , gen Zers are ruining that ____ , boomers are mad about ____” articles. Having one less thing to divide us as people would be nice right about now.
