J Mont EUGENE #igiveafHck Simon Acton Geraldine Herbert Aaron Patrick Monaghan I drive a 10 year old EV. I love the car and plan to keep it for a long time. It’s saved us lots of €€. I know others who drive the same car. Its range is relatively low because batteries were far more expensive 10 years ago, but it still has about 85% of its original capacity.

How can the CEO of a state-owned company, Dublin Airport, continue to get away with such misleading statements about the climate impact of airport expansion? Their own planning application shows CO2 growing by 22%. linkedin.com/posts/hannah-d…

Treat fossil fuels like tobacco. Start by banning their advertisement (along with things that require fossil fuels to run, like combustion vehicles).

Since the #ClimateEmergency is a global issue it seems a tad short sighted to deny consumers in Europe (and US for that matter) the ability to transition quickly to affordable #electricvehicles thereby reducing GHG emissions. The #climate doesn’t respect borders or protectionism.

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate

Spent a day in a BYD Dolphin BYD and for a £25k EV I thought it really impressive. Great range, efficiency, refinement, quality and value. #BYD #EV #ElectricCars
