@TeaBreak. No. But the purpose of 15 minutes cities is to inhibit or prohibit you from moving beyond your tiny enclave without permission.

@TeaBreak. We're over a century away from running out of gas. And EVs just ain't good enough now. That's why people have largely stopped buying them in the US and rental agencies are dumping them. And no, it's not about running out of oil, it's about control. That's pretty clear.

@TeaBreak. EVs aren't a bad thing. But they become bad when the government mandates them.

@seannewman5391 Yes, everyone who disagrees with you must be a stooge of big oil or ICE car makers. Because obviously everyone would agree with you about EVs since as you well understand, you are the smartest person you know.

@TeaBreak. "Electricity is all around us and easily obtained" Only at home. You cannot drive into a shopping center and get electricity unless someone specifically makes it available to you, which is uncommon. If it is made available, there is a long wait because you need to wait upwards of 2-3 hours if the chargers are busy, and that doesn't include your own charging time. By contrast, there are gas stations everywhere, they always work because they have backup diesel generators, and you you can pay by cash if you wish to be anonymous or you can pay by card. You fill up in literally 2.5 minutes and commonly you get ranges of 400-500 miles. If you forget to fill up on the way back from work, you can fill up in the morning on the way to work. Which means that if I'm commuting I fill up once every 2-3 weeks. EVs are for people who don't really value their time or the flexibility to take 500 mile trips in your car to visit national parks or other cities.

@Eidolon1andOnly If they're paying, they're being overcharged.

@SuzukiKid400 " One day we will not have anymore oil, so we need to find another method for mass propulsion" Even if you accept this to be true, the government choosing technology is perhaps the worst way you could come up with to facilitate a transition. There's not one person in any government smart enough to do that.

@TeaBreak. 15 minute cities are part of the EU plan. Do 5 minutes of digging online.

Absolutely true. And Climate Fanatics are also the people who hate the people who refuse to live in cities. They believe those people are "stealing" from the cities for not paying taxes to support what they believe is the "wonderful" life, even though the crime in rising because of the importation of 3rd-world men into countries with little or no vetting, while at the same time reducing policing and conviction of criminals. You can understand why the people are not in favor of this nonsense.
