  • If it is common knowledge that shutting a garage door with a running ICE vehicle inside will kill you, why do you think so many people think 1 billion ICE vehicles aren't bad in the atmosphere?

  • Makes sense, but they do affect the insolation, and thus kill life on earth.

    We can't live without it, but we can't live with to much of it. So if we are pushing the upwards bounds.. which way should we go? Only one logical choice if you want our current life forms to exist.

  • You're living in a false reality apparently my friend. That's just the definition of a word. Maybe find a different term.

  • There batteries are rated to make something like 480,000 miles before getting to 80% battery life.

    The costs are high right now but the median ice car is over 32,000. You aren't buying any car new for under 10 grand.

  • Fits the definition of poisoning.

    Medical dictionary: Definition Poisoning occurs when any substance interferes with normal body functions after it is swallowed, inhaled, injected, or absorbed.

    So if you drown, it would be, if you get crushed, I would say it doesn't fall into poison

  • Chosing a safer way to get there is the point. If we got rid of all the traffic lights you'll get to work and not die. More people would die on the way to work, but that's the same concept is it not? Right now we have an "acceptable" death rate from car accidents that's Increasing since about 2008ish. One of the reasons why is that we decided to make vehicles taller and larger for no reason other than to avoid regulations that were set on vehicles for environmental safety.Basically we said "cars should have higher mileage to minimize damage to the environment" and someone said.. well that's unreasonable for larger vehicles, and then companies started making larger vehicles to fall into a category that would omit them from the higher mpg requirements. Also a 4" higher grill is associated over 20% increase on killing pedestrians.

    Example: A 4 door Jeep Cherokee in 1994 was plenty big enough to carry a family of 4 and a load of groceries in the back.

    1994 Dimensions: Length: 165.3" Width 70.5" Height: 63.2' Weight: 3,357 pounds

    2024 Dimensions: Length: 193.5" Width: 77.5" Height 70.8". Weight: 4,238 pounds

    A more efficient engine would fit in the old Jeep.. yet it is now more than 2 foot longer. More than half a foot wider and half a foot taller.

    So now you need wider roads to fit wider lanes, and space houses out further to fit these cars as they build new areas. Larger parking lots, meaning more room between businesses, making it all inaccessible more and more, and the only reasonable way to get anywhere is by getting in a car.

  • One of the main reasons people use to say EVs are bad is that they currently weigh more than ICE vehicles. (Slowly being fixed transitioning to solid state batteries and finding ways to safely minimize weight). The extra weight means tires would wear out faster and tires put plastics into the environment.

    Putting weight restrictions on vehicles would curb this and accelerate people transitioning to lighter vehicles.

  • Yes, the carbon monoxide sits in the atmosphere... Then becomes carbon dioxide after a few months, which is racking up and killing the majority of life on earth.

    The garage is just step 1 of the process, yes.

  • The reason people drive so far to work... Is because of cars. We are compensating for them simply by having them around. The compensator 9000 just means further distances to work, grocery stores, etc. wider roads, more gaps between businesses and continuous outward growth while creating an environment where it makes it more and more impossible to simply walk anywhere...

    I want to get a sandwich, shouldn't be situation that requires we drive 15 miles. Granted yes we reduced the number of times we do it by stashing ingredients in the fridge, but the point still stands.

    A lot of people dread having to walk to the mailbox... And dread having to mow the lawn between them and the mailbox. The number of people paying someone else to mow the lawn between there front door and the mailbox is staggering. Yet that is step on of them going on a trip.

  • Why would it not be considered poisoning? It is a substance that is effectively killing people.

    Yeah the enclosed space thing is about carbon monoxide though. Just find it to be easier for people to understand when people believe the earth is thriving because "there are more people now than ever." Not caring that everything is dying around us.

  • No that van would be classified as commercial or public access. But it should be taxed to no hell of it wasn't company owned. Companies will have to jump through expensive processes as well. (Otherwise we simply won't change anything)

  • With passangers it wouldn't matter for weight. The car would register, and people would ride. That's all that would matter. We can make an 8 person car under that weight limit with great safety ratings. We just were driving away from those requirements.

  • So would you agree no car sold beyond 2030 in the U.S. should weight over 5 thousand pounds or be taxed and registered (another form of tax) at a high rate the pushes users towards lighter emissions?

  • While I understand what I think your saying and don't want to be to assumptioius, can you please explain how cars have a 'shorr term" benefit when we are looking at 60% annual possibilities of 10 month droughts annually. That's the end of crops outdoors, likely the end of life outdoors
