  1. Politicians did this to us. EVs make a lot of sense for short trips in urban settings, but we'd have to mine more copper in the next 5 years than we've ever mined in all of human history, at great cost to the environment, assuming we could ramp up copper mining and refining to that extent in the first place, which we absolutely can not. If the West ever got to net zero (which is a ridiculous and deadly pipe dream), all it would do is export manufacturing to Asia, where they don't CARE about emissions at all. China currently has 1,000 coal-fired plants under construction, and India's not far behind. They're also buying every liter of petrol products they can get their hands on, because they're not fools. Everything we're doing to reduce emissions is just a fart in the wind, compared to the burgeoning emissions in Asia, which are not going to stop increasing, because we have no power to influence what they're doing. The net effect of the "green agenda" is a massive transfer of wealth from the many to the few. The CEO with the private jet is just one of innumerable examples. Elon got HIS subsidized TESLA startup, and he's already cashed out to the tune of $40 billion or so. Even if TESLA goes bankrupt, he will still have made an enormous amount of money on the failed project.
