An argument for electric vehicles a lot of people miss is sovereignty You can live in the woods with no gas stockpile (or fuel supply network) and charge from a waterwheel, solar panel, woodfired steam engine, human power (dynamo), windmill, weird energy-emitting alien obelisk you found. Anything. That’s freedom.

Idk the sovereign carbon burning life could be fuel from corn moonshine or canola biodiesel.

Yeah that fair too. In that case I would point to other benefits like being able to run the vehicle indoors without carbon monoxide emissions, or how much quieter electric vehicles are. But I’m not opposed to modding existing vehicles to run on biodiesel

If sovereignty involves reducing dependency on supply chain, anything with microprocessors won’t be ideal. Imho electrification is actually more of a collective coordinated action and harder to justify in isolation. Actual sovereignty is unattainable in this connected and super populated world anyway.

I agree but I think that’s kind of a weird place to go with this. Unless we want primitive eco-sovereignty, we will be using things with microprocessors. Let’s work to open source and decentralize those technologies and their distribution stacks rather than count them out entirely.

Oh I agree, just extending the shower thought.

I love it. Really liked your insight on the biofuel especially. When it comes to technological solutions I’m a pluralist. No need to put all our eggs in one basket
