    You don’t really need sources for this, just apply some basic sense.

    So my thinking is that emissions are still happening, just not necessarily where people are living and with better emissions management.

    Yes, that is part of it.

    Here are some other cliffnotes:

    • Even when using 100% coal, you’re still producing far less CO2 than an equivalent gasoline vehicle.

    • Gasoline only comes from one place: Extracted and refined dinosaur carcasses. Electricity can come from wind, solar, nuclear, etc. Personally mine is 100% wind energy.

    • Gasoline is transported by gasoline-burning vehicles. Electricity is transported over wires, further reducing CO2 emitted from transportation.

    I mean we can go down a big rabbit hole about the environmental costs but the EV always wins out, if not instantly.

    Bikes and ebikes (or even just walking) are obviously going to produce a crapton less CO2 than either.
