Saving the Planet is Existentially Expensive to the Poor
Who is going to save them?
The Green Catastrophists keep trying to hurry the world’s decision makers to hurry their decisions. Otherwise, how can the planet be saved?
Forget the 3.5 billion people living with little or no electricity. Just get them EV’s now, so they are ready for the “transition”.
Tell them it's OK that interior air pollution only kills 4,000,000 or so of them a year, while they wait for solar and wind power for ventilation in their homes and businesses.

The short time frame remaining to limit climate change brings unique urgency to the electrification challenge, but freeing our thinking from a century of car-bred habits will be critical in countless new mobility technologies. Making the most of emerging technologies always starts with understanding our needs and how best to meet them, not simply molding them into an image of the past. Figuring out how to grow the E.V. market across a decade of battery scarcity is only the most immediate opportunity to embrace this kind of challenge. How we face it will be telling.
