Yes I liked that too! How else can you explain: "EV's are going to be so green (even tho we will be mining lithium and mining uses fossil fuels and is deeply destructive to the land/surrounding communities' aquifers)! Windfarms are so great (even tho they slaughter birds wily nilly)! Solar farms are so eco (even though made of materials that will not biodegrade ever, require toxic batteries that have limited lifespan)." The blindness hypocrisy is stunning, imo. It is not a realistic long-term plan.
But the self-rightsousness and readiness to relinquish personal freedoms, and eagerness to shame and censor those who do not go along, all have a recent precedent, unfortunately.
