Americans will do literally anything to continue burning fossil fuels.

Electric carts have existed for decades, and don't cause noise or air pollution.

    Most people don’t have a spare electric drivetrain in their garage, though.

    No, but most in suburban America have a gas powered lawnmower

    We can't afford new cars. I mean some can but most of us buy what's barely affordable.

    Electric cars do cause air pollution. A lot of the pollution cars produce is from tyre dust.

    The funny thing about this article is that small cars have existed since forever but Americans always go for the larger, for inefficient cars.
