Coal is bad.
Let's ban all coal use and bring India & China down ( economically ).

It's a convincing, rational argument.

Does a convincing, rational rebuttal to this exist?

public transportation!

EV are inefficient, theyre heavy relative to the number of people they move

The weight doesn't factor like it does for gas/diesel vehicles. Battery technology is advancing at a very fast pace.

well im thinking how much does an EV 4 seater weigh?

my car weight 2400 lbs and it only moves one person typically. thats not efficient.

Tesla's are comparable to gas powered cars in terms of weight.

Coal is the fuel of the future. After all this other BS (nuclear, EV, wind, hydrogen, etc.) dies down after people realize it's all too expensive and unreliable-- we will revert back to a cleaner coal a couple generations from now. There is just too much of it available (cheaply) to ignore.

thats why it doesnt work right?

if everyone has an EV instead of a gas car, is that sustainable?

i kinda doubt it because of the weight.

Weight will come down as battery technology advances. The advances in EV technology is much faster than ICE technology.

Coal is dead.

even if that happens, will it be sustainable in time? i doubt it.

In time nothing is sustainable.

It's already happening. Most are just too blind to see it.
