@PowerCrazy@TheRealCharlesEames No. Tailpipe emissions are far and away the worst thing coming out of a car, because they are destroying the climate of the entire earth. If unchecked, it will destroy every ecosystem extant on the planet and kill most humans. 1.7 million deaths a year is truly, epically awful, but still not even a small fraction as bad.
If old cars could be converted to electric easily, then you’d have a point. But every single electric car sold is ~1 additional car on the road, and extra cars are worse for the environment then fewer cars.

Wait until you hear about how much emissions a single cargo ship emits. Or a commercial Jet, or Cruise ship, or a coal plant.
Wow, there are multiple sources of pollution. Who woulda thunk it?
For the amount they carry, it’s fuck all. They’re so huge that economy of scale works overtime.
Oh no! Other problems exists that we should also tackle! You’ve won the argument!
The problem is cars. Not how they are fueled.
And as we reduce car dependency, should those cars keep burning gasoline?
