    Just bought my first EV… Reading crap like this makes me happy I’m pissing on the oil execs

      Only if the electricity generated to charge your vehicle wasn’t connected to oil in any way, but you know what’s really environmentally friendly? Walking, biking, and public transit!

        Free electricity? Check. Living in a city where I’m a 15 minute walk to grocery, food, coffee, and more? Check.

        Having to drive to work 25 miles away is where most of my driving happens.

          Start job hunting? Apartment hunting? It took a lot of doing but I ended up getting to live close to work and it’s great! Remote work is pretty popular too these days…

            I assume you don’t live in the North America then, because in a vast majority of the US and Canada living in a walkable area and living close to work are mutually exclusive.

              I do live in NA and I commute by bike almost every day. It’s not impossible.

                No it’s not impossible, but it’s statistically out of reach for most people, for many reasons.

        But you know what’s actually helpful and contributing to the dialogue at this point? Supporting a comrade in their satisfaction that they’re doing better than they were before. You didn’t even acknowledge and validate that before throwing a “yes and” to make your point. Appreciate your well intentioned efforts, but this can turn some people off. I know I’d feel dismissed among other feelings. 🤷Maybe I’m soft.
