So what is your plan? Let the people in the north starve and freeze? We output a tiny bit of emissions compared to the big polluters. The government even admitted there is no replacement for big trucks that do long hauls or larger machinery for industrial work. What's your plan? Go after the big polluters, stop sending people into poverty, starvation and freezing with no alternative plan. You really think the 20 years of methane output are going to be worse than the absolute destruction of the Congo and Central africa, its forests and people to get a lot of the precious metals for EVs? And as stated above EVs can bring us the food or resources necessary to survive and to keep the economy going. What will eastern Canada do without all the money the western provinces give eastern Canada in the form of equalisation payments when the entire economy shuts down. Or did you conveniently forget about that part?
