Why do people think electric anything helps the enviroment or is green? Electric vehicles,be it a bike or car, uses the exact same industries to make a car be it aluminum for cases,copper wire,steel laminates,shafts,bearings,welded frames etc. Lithium is a slave labor mined element. If it's made by china, one of the top polluters,even worse. It takes much energy to refine and process metals,weld frames etc. Climate change is normal and ever changing. Pollution is a problem. Carbon is not a problem, nearly everything contains carbon,wood for example is natures carbon fiber.Carbon is just another thing they can tax and steal money for. That being said New York City is a terrible craphole with crooked politicians and its not surprising Cuomo goes against what people want.
