... who has been paying highway use tax for those overweight hippos?

They wear the pavement faster than ICs.

They deposit more rubber wear debris, which washes into our streams, rivers, lakes and oceans.

And, let us not forget that 43% of US power is produced from natural gas and 16% from coal, so EVs aren't really "clean".

The rest of the power used comes from environmental hazards.

Nuclear: 19%

Unreliable, aesthetically-atrocious and environmentally vicious "Renewables": 21-24%.

Nuclear: Hershey chocolate bars are still glowing in the dark figuratively; Fukushima's shadow looms in our memory as a monument to poor planning; Chernobyl a monument to colossal human stupidity ("Hey, Boris, let's see if the fail-safe system really works. OK, Vlad. ... BOOM!"); Brown's Ferry was a close call; All deadly targets in case of warfare, and the doomsday clock hovers at the edge of midnight. Do we think the nuclear world can exercise restraint in perpetuum?

Solar and wind: Require more nasty batteries for reliable power delivery. An inconvenient truth.

EVs are an insidious example of pushing the problem elsewhere.
