There are also idiots claiming we should ban electric vehicles because they charge on an unclean grid

I actually saw a petition for this is my country's local government website

This is like closing a shop to prevent robbers.

Surely the solution is to make the grid they charge off of sustainable then????

Too expensive. It's easier to just ban electricity, and go back to the good ol' days of natural gas powered appliances.
