You're correct that
You're correct that capitalism SHOULD drive business decisions, but that's NOT the case here. The trucks are twice the cost to purchases. More importantly, the data that's being hidden is the cost per mile comparison of diesel vs electricity.
Anyone being honest about electricoty prices will admit that it costs twice as much per mile to use use electricity from the grid to charge a car's battery.
Companies are doing this because of the new social scores that are being enforced. It's a price of doing business expense rather than changing technologies for larger profits. It's not capitalism. It's Chinese-style capitalism... aka fascism with profits for the elite class who participate propogating the liberal narrative.
I'm excited about the new technologies. I just wish people weren't purchasing because of the LIES that they'll be helping the environment. They'll be destroying the environment.
My state still uses coal for 67% of electricity production. The 2% of our electricity from windmills will represent several new landfills dedicated to the deteriorated turbine blades that are toxic to be recycled.
Wyoming had an idea to fill their abandoned mines with shredded turbine blades. The EOA shut down the idea due to pollution problems with those materials.
Everything the liberals SAY about "green" energy turns out to be the MOST polluting of all. Remember how nuclear power was the first "clean" energy. Ok, can we bury the spent nuclear fuel rods in your garden? Not exactly green... except maybe the glow from the radiation. Wind turbines and solar panels are now filling landfills with toxic materials. Electric vehicles will create an exponential increase in the demand for electricity and our new favorites are the most polluting solutions we've ever used. It sad.
