    In 2010, I thought, maybe we’d start using electric cars by now. Instead we are using gas powered computers.

    Gas powered computers.

    That are unreliable and broken.

      Well individually, we do have choices. My EV, PC and AI do run on renewables. But if you aren’t careful, fossil fuels will creep their way into your daily life.

        You have a choice but the system is rigged so you pick the one that the people in charge want. Electric cars are way too expensive and gas is subsidized by the government how is that a fair choice? Also my state charges me a super high tax every year on my electric car as a penalty for not buying gas

          By “system is rigged”, you mean O&G lobbies to keep those subsidies. Instead of subsidizing climate change, I would vote to subsidize renewables and grid upgrades, and to have the same fee for all cars regardless of propulsion.
