The Biden administration is poised to unveil new tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, creating a potential roadblock for Chinese automakers wanting to expand into the American market.
Everyone talks about how shitty the environment is and that we’re going to get burned alive in our lifetime…but at the same time, fuck the environment if it means cheap goods.
Here’s some fun math. Burning a gallon of gas emits 8,887g of CO2. Let’s call it 8.9kg. 1000kgs in a tonne. That means 112 gallons emits a tonne of CO2.
With me so far?
It costs around $500 to remove a tonne of CO2 from the atmosphere.
People act like $3/gal for gas is too much. I say, it’s nowhere near high enough. Gas has to cost $4.46/gal just to cover cleaning up the CO2 emitted from it. That’s just cleanup.
Maybe if we had to pay the cost for our lifestyle, we’d readdress what we actually need. Instead, we have government subsidized global destruction. All of the EV/renewable tax rebates are great (as long as you can use them)…but it’s nothing compared to what oil gets.
Thatsthething.

Don’t even get me started on beef.
