Well Finland has the saying “Everything is big in America”

…good and the bad, triumphs and fuck-ups.

It has a great sequel “All the Things I’m Embarrassed About That Nobody Remembers or Even Noticed”

With average EU energy mix total carbon footprint of a biogas car is still only 3/4 of an equivalent electric vehicle after 10 years of use.

Additional weight of the vehicle and the costly battery production matters.

With average US east coast energy mix the EVs carbon footprint would be double that of a biogas car after 10 years of use.

Piip piip boop boop.

Evil nordic bot coming at you.

Bio gas and diesel are also renewable.

My government just added a controversial extra tax on EVs because they tear up the roads and cause additional particles, because they are really heavy and most of them have a better than usual torque.

For most of them this was the only time they were able to play games with a larger group without their mothers bitching about game time. Many kids didn’t even have gaming systems, because they were expensive and many parents thought they were a bad addictive influence, so for them this was an absolute delight.
