I deeply consider environmental issues, and stereotypes typically indicate that Conservatives are not too concerned with environmental issues, however, this is an inadequate statement. Recycle, Reduce and Reuse are all important concepts to me, and I feel like people in society and all over the world are truly confused about what Progressive ideas really are at the moment. I do not want to go into too much detail, however, for example, when we take a look at Electric cars and that whole industry, there are major misunderstandings around it. The production and environmental impacts involved… Read more before and during the production of electric cars is absolutely devastating to the environment, I would even consider it to be far worse than the carbon emissions impact, if you consider all of the future implications and consequences of going on with an industry we have barely done enough research on. While countries, in particular, countries like China, need to do alot more to innovate and develop more efficient and environmentally friendly gas and carbon emissions products, and stop use of coal, and implement more environmental regulation, all nations need to consider the devastating impacts of electric cars. There are better alternatives and we have the solutions right in front of us, and we have become so focused on one environmental issue, that we forget about all of the others. What about plastic and the oceans? What about wildlife habitat and wetland conservation, as well as addressing conservation and protection of forests and threatnened species. Getting back to my point, we are lost with our ideas of being progressive. We have been innovating and developing more efficient and environmentally friendly ways of producing gas cars, which are far less costly, weigh alot less, being more efficient, new carbon emissions technology to dramatically reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere. We have been educated, have been knowledgeable and have done research on these cars and industry for over 100 years and now we want to change to a completely different industry, which we think we know but do not truly know? It is completely insane, and once you look at the materials and horrific environmental impacts involved in the process of creating electric cars, and just how inefficient they are, and what the future would look like if everyone used electric cars, it would be truly devastating. Also, when you see no charging stations, remember that most societies, if not all, simply do not have the infrastructure to support such systems going into place. The amount of energy and resources needed to contribute to the use of electric cars as a means of transportation, is a significantly higher percentage number than gas cars, meaning it is absolutely unmanageable. Politicians will make contradictions when they are up on the stage, or are just simply uneducated, but environmental experts and experts in the automotive industry, know the truth and consequences of taking further action with this industry. Did you know that what it takes to run approximately 5 to 10 charging stations when charging Tesla electric cars requires the same amount of electric power it takes to run almost all chairlifts at some of the biggest ski resorts in Canada? I learned these statistics from an educated individual about the topic, and these numbers truly scared me. I invite you to spread awareness, and change the way we think about progressive ideas, and the delusional visions we call progressive ideas.
