Your replies would look better if you put them on the right message.
I hate dumb articles. This article is dumb, its written for dumb people.
It doesn't think about where the electricity to power those cars will come
from. The predictions are pulled out of thin air.
"And Statoil ASA, Norway's state oil company, thinks EVs will comprise 30
percent of new sales by 2030."Lets look at this one, starts a sentence with
"And", that ought to be enough to discount it right there. It should also be
noted that Norway's state oil company doesn't think anything, maybe an
economist or even worse a futurist at Statoil thinks that but clearly not one
dumb enough to have his or her name attached to it.So the sentence should
really say "Somebody in Norway wouldn't go on record as saying", real
believable right?
Remember I'm in favor of electric cars, I'm against poor writing...
