Because I know someone who became totally non-functional due to her psychosis and she had to wait two years. Sure, I suppose people with serious mental issues should just use ChatGPT right?

I used the wrong term. I should have said that they aren't considered environmentally friendly. And no it is impossible to build where there is enough water for a dam already, because a dam only works to generate electricity if it holds back more water than wants to stay there. This causes decay which leads to methane.
The waiting time "to see a shrink" where I am is two years for even the most serious cases. The fact that a person is su8cidal is sadly not enough to move you ahead in the queue.
You act like there is a drug for all ills. Most psychiatric meds only work by turning you into a zombie. So you advocate that people should zombify themselves with drugs and live that way?
I didn't say all of North America was bad. But clearly if any area is bad then it is unfair to encourage EV use.
That would bug the hell out of me.
I live in a place with bad infrastructure. In North America.
My wife had a flip phone. The non-removable screen protector developed a crease until it got so big that the screen cracked from folding. The quote to fix it was $2k and had to send it to Samsung for weeks to wait for it to be fixed. Now we are once bitten twice shy and I'm done with new designs that make people into suckers because they may not be ready for production. We may consider getting one again if we knew any other people using it in our -30c climate without problems, but I have never known any one else who dared to buy one. Sure the salesman says they are better now but that's the job of a salesman.
But it's not for you to say they should keep on suffering, because you have no idea what they are going through. Life is truly shitty. If I didn't have people who would miss me I would leave myself.
There are a lot of people out there suffering. It's probably way higher in the US.
But rain is not a guarantee. The city of Calgary has called a water conservation order for the second year in a row. It depends where.
I only use my vehicle twice a week or so. Since they mostly all loose power just when sitting, I would be afraid of it not having enough charge when I came back to it if I didn't plug it in. No I am not as nervous with gas for two reasons: 1) if I forget it is low on gas, the 10 minute delay to fill is negligible, and 2) gas doesn't evaporate from the tank while the vehicle is sitting.
Hydroelectricity is not considered a renewable resource. They require a lot of maintenance by machinery run by fossil fuels and also the methane released by the unnatural basin is one of the worst GHGs. Better than most sources of power but no pancrea.
So it's because EVs are hard to keep charged. So why have one at all.
But did you use 5000 documents for your essays? But that I mean, was your bibliography literally 5000 references long?
