Rovinarsi per passare all’auto elettrica, e non ottenere un bel niente per il clima

Published by Tempi

Gli attivisti del clima e i politici ci ripetono in continuazione che le auto elettriche sono più pulite, più economiche e migliori. Molti paesi, tra i quali Germania, Regno Unito e Giappone, entro uno o due decenni proibiranno addirittura la vendita di nuove automobili a gas e a diesel. Ma se davvero le auto elettriche sono così eccellenti, che bisogno c’è di vietare le alternative? E perché dobbiamo sovvenzionare le auto elettriche a ritmo di 30 miliardi di dollari l’anno?

The muddled reality of electric cars

Published by Financial Post

Climate activists and politicians constantly tell us electric cars are cleaner, cheaper, and better. Many countries, including the U.K., Germany, and Japan, will even prohibit the sale of new gas and diesel cars within a decade or two. But if electric cars are really so good, why do we need to ban the alternatives? And why do we need to subsidize electric cars to the tune of $30 billion per year?

Ez nem menti meg a világot: Miközben betiltják a benzines autókat, dollármilliárdokat égetnek el az elektromos autók támogatására

Published by Portfolio

A klímaaktivisták és a politikusok folyamatosan azt sulykolják, hogy az elektromos autók tisztábbak, olcsóbbak és jobbak. Sok ország, köztük Németország, az Egyesült Királyság és Japán az új benzin- és dízelüzemű autók értékesítését is be fogja tiltani egy-két évtizeden belül. De ha az elektromos autók tényleg olyan jók, miért kell betiltani a benzines és dízeles járműveket? És miért kell évi 30 milliárd dollárral támogatni az elektromos autókat?

The West Says It Will Pay Reparations for Its Alleged Climate Sins

Published by Wall Street Journal

At the recently concluded UN climate summit, wealthy nations agreed to pay climate reparations to poor countries.

COP27: A Parade Of Climate Hypocrisy

Published by Forbes
