Thanks to a publisher of local media for sharing his opinion on the B.C. government’s plans for electric vehicles, “Kirk LaPointe: B.C. is training to win an EV race nobody’s in and no one asked for,” published online in The 撸奶社区 on Oct. 31.
However, why don’t we focus on solutions instead of presenting confusing, circuitous, contradictory, and plain wrong narratives that get us nowhere while the planet burns?
He uses his platform to rant but would appear to benefit from further thought prior to taking fingertip to keyboard, despite, as he says, having been an EV owner of five years.
Take his complaint about the manufacturing emissions of EVs being higher, and that his car has parts made around the world: life-cycle emissions are what matters, and it would seem he has not considered internal combustion car supply chains.
Please, editor, encourage LaPointe to provide something informational—not disinformational—to read.
I, for one, have always turned with optimism to the local newspaper to be made more aware and enlightened, and I hope that there continue to be reasons to do so.
