minus-square blazera ( @blazera@kbin.social ) linkfedilink3•1 year agoit’s not green energy use. it’s just energy use. EV’s predominantly run on fossil fuel energy in the US.
minus-square Zink ( @Zink@programming.dev ) linkfedilink3•1 year agoIt’s the capability for green energy use, in a very energy-intense application. That possibility is not there with combustion engines. We cannot have a green energy economy unless all the usage endpoints consume clean energy rather than hydrocarbons.

minus-square Zink ( @Zink@programming.dev ) linkfedilink3•1 year agoAnything that already runs on electricity isn’t really part of the discussion then, because there’s no need to change anything at the point of use. A better analogy to the car thing might be investing in (or subsidizing) heat pump production over natural gas furnaces.
