No need to be sorry, i’m here to discuss, thank you for the reply :)

So you see the billionaire problem as billionaries using their power to prevent necessary action. Ok, i agree that this is part of the problem.

But the “peope are selfish idiots” part is much larger.

The propaganda works because it is what people want to hear. And they want to hear that [climate change does not exist/wont be that bad/wont be worse than not burning fossils/but china/can not be stopped anyway] because they then dont have to change their lifestyle. And, at least in my bubble, “but the billionaires” (burning a lot more fuel with their yachts and private jets) or “but then only the rich can affort it” is another of these excuses.

where not?

It baffels me how many here seem to think that climate change is a billionaire problem. Are you really serious about this? (genuine question)

What makes you think that way? Its so obviously not true.

Look around you. Imagine you can see CO2. Coming out of the cars around you, the airplanes overhead, trucks and cargo ships delivering your consumer goods, tractors and harvesters on the nearby fields. Are the cars Ferrairs? The planes private jets? The trucks and cargo ships transporting exquisite furniture? The farmers producing kobe beef?

Must be comfortable in your world…

People often dont get that these gears/driving modes are only different mappings of the drivers inputs. At no time the car uses the friction brakes when it could also use regen braking.

also why wait 30 years? its not the same person anymore

yes and dont forget all the billionaires at the airport

/s

why would that matter?

7k plus for not having to use a cable… how degenerate can you be?

oh no lets not fight back then /s

Western media: …alleged war crimes…

They still are 50 billion euros in debt: https://www.edf.fr/en/2025-annual-results

Also they need to invest $542 billion by 2040. They have mostly 30 years old reactors which need a lot of maintenance. And they now have to compete with solar/wind.

“Tesla casts their frames around a battery” is a long way from “Tesla cast aluminum frames on model Y are integrated with the battery pack”

But yeah, saving a few % of weight and a few minutes fastcharging time should not make a simple battery repair such as a cell replacement much more difficult.

I’m all for standardization but the battery will usually outlast the car. What do you mean Tesla casts their frames around a battery?

I understand your position as: Germany has expensive energy because they are stupid and abandoned nuclear power.

While abandoning nuclear power before coal was certainly a bad idea climatewise (i’m even with you calling this idiotic, thank you Merkel), coal is not more expensive than nuclear.

The 20 cent/kWh the french have on their electricity bill is not an honest price. The operator EDF is state owned and constantly loosing money the state then has to put in again, so the they also pay with taxes for their electricity.

Also the more renewables are in the mix the less economic nuclear becomes. Nuclear is good when it can run 24/7 but not when it has to constantly change its output or event has to be turned off during the day.

Coal is a fossil fuel. Gas is expensive atm because of the US/Israel war. Thats why they now want to use coal more. Its (a lot) worse for the climate, worse for health but cheaper. Actually quite capitalist of them…

Or what do you mean with fossil fuel plants? Diesel generators?

then why does the state always have to subsidize nuclear power? dont scream at us.

next few hundred years??? i have some bad news for you…

because emissions from food production?

I’d also like to add that the manufacturing footprint can (and hopefully will be) reduced. So the difference will grow. Fossil cars will not get more efficient. Also fuck cars.
