Probably not much... and probably because people at universities are smart enough to understand that electric cars doesn't fix any problems at all.

No, people at universities typically understand that a better solution would be to use public transportation, however they also understand that doing so is a pipe dream and you have to fight against trillions of dollars to do so. Otherwise they wouldn't spend the time and effort to try and develop the technology in the first place. Seriously, what is the point of developing an electric car if you believe cars shouldn't exist? In that situation you're developing a technological dead-end.

In the meantime, our world is still burning and cars are shitting out more greenhouses gases.

When you're in a hole it's best to stop digging. Continuing to rely on cars because fixing the mess that was caused for the benefit of capitalist parasites is "too expensive" is pure madness.

Yes, because tearing up millions of square miles of suburban housing while displacing millions of people to compress it into a smaller space so that public transportation becomes feasible is definitely a realitic solution. New developments should be higher density and should have public transportation systems, however existing areas are kinda fucked from that standpoint.

Lol! Such as whom? I think you have a very weird idea of what "left" actually is. Really? Leftists just up and forgot how capitalism worked because... why, again? Leftists understand that capitalism will never fix the problems capitalism has caused. Period. None of this is new - this has been general knowledge amongst leftists for more than a hundred years now.

The ones who were realistic did. You know people can believe something is bad, yet still engage in it or use it because the alternative isn't feasible, right? How many people still use plastic containers? How many people still drive cars? How many people still use social media? How many people still consume food with high-fructose corn syrup? How many people still call the cops in an emergency? How many people still use Amazon and/or Google? There are so many things that are bad for us, yet we still do them anyway, either because there's no alternative or because we lack the time, money and/or energy to cut them out of our lives.

Ideals are great, but they aren't grounded in reality and compromises have to be made. If you can't understand this, then you're dead weight for the people who are actually trying to make a difference.

I know you're trying to get a rise out of me, but c'mon, you can do better.
