This is 4 days old. Not only was he found days ago, he was up in court since.

I like how you assumed I was Chinese 😄 Chinas claims of some territories in the region are laughable and I'm often one of their harshest critics. I am also balanced and unbiased. My point being, we are talking about a US aircraft on the other side of the planet playing dick measuring games. The nations who dispute these particular islands do not include the US.

Genuine question - what would your opinion be if it was a Chinese navy aircraft 12 miles off the coast of the US?

My comparison was that they both lost many billions in a matter of days. How you thought the comment meant anything else is beyond me.

Him and musk should start an emotional support group.

Yeah, not sure why. EVs are not a great choice for the long term.

As I said, many modern biofuels don't require land usage. Focusing just on the combustion itself ignores all of the environmental damage and impact I mentioned above.

Ah yes, electric vehicles which charge from a grid predominantly fed by power stations burning fossil fuels. They also require scrapping of all existing vehicles which is incredibly bad for the environment. They also require new infrastructure to be installed globally (car charging points) which isn't exactly environmentally friendly. Their batteries are very heavy in relation to their size which gives them a very high carbon footprint when it comes to shipping them around the world. The same batteries have a very short lifespan compared to a diesel engines, are made from environment damaging chemicals and materials and are a disaster for the environment when it comes to disposing of them.

We should be investing in more sensible alternatives like biofuels, many of which are very much sustainable and don't require farmland e.g. seaweed. Many of them also work perfectly well with existing diesel engines, so no need for scrapping billions of cars or installing hundreds of millions of charging points. EVs are little more than a green-washing solution and not a real sustainable future for cars.
