Again I say, anybody who uses gasoline refined in the Houston area is driving a coal-fueled car.
EVs don’t spew at stoplights, don’t need catalytic converters, don’t need tanker trucks constantly replenishing fuel supplies, don’t add to urban heat, don’t need motor oil changes.
Of course, cats have to find other hoods to nap on in cool weather…
