Every advocate thereof should be grilled about whether they have completely converted their lifestyle to 100% “clean” (by their stated standards).
I’ve been dabbling in such for a few years (as a matter of off-grid independence, conservation (as a Conservative), and as sociopolitical experiment).
There is no reason why these people can’t “go green/clean” approaching 100% by next month. The technology is available & affordable.
If they DON’T already live most of what they preach, they need be shouted down as hypocrites.
Every d@mn one of them can buy an EV, power via utility or home solar, pick up small organic farm produce in person (by EV, avoiding ICE transport), telecommute, and minimize plastics use. No excuses.
This is ultimately what they’re asking/demanding/compelling everyone else to do, and nothing stops them from doing so, both as obligation & example, in short order. If everyone chose to do what advocates insist all others do, the legislation would be unnecessary - so start proving & normalizing it already.
Not to bust on you but even the Germans say EVs are more polluting the diesel car equivalents by far.
