For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Making a strawman out of the opposing argument to make your nonsense seem like a good idea by comparison, that's all you have. Your shit doesn't sell itself, so you need to juxtapose it with the boogeyman to con people.

You're not extreme, but you believe white people should be denied, for example, straws because Chinese, Indians, and Africans pollute the oceans.. :think:
No, just the adults.
Kids can have reusable straws.
So banning straws for certain people. Yet you say your solutions are not about government bans but personal choice. How about we all personally choose to use straws and eat meat? Are we now bad for the planet? You choose to use a computer and internet, which are not carbon neutral. You are now just as bad, so piss off.

the major advancements made by today's electric vehicles were made possible by petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas

How is denying adults personal responsibility? See Capps, he can't stick to that. To him personal responsibility has be enforced or coerced via regulations, laws, or taxes.

That's kind of a bad argument.

You still have those plastic costs buying any alternative vehicle to the EV. It's a sunk cost in petrochemicals, but it's fixed, and it's universal (so it doesn't really make a distinction between gas and electric vehicles). Yet the EVs don't necessarily consume any oil in order to drive, whereas gas vehicles consume large quantities of gas and oil each year.

Where you might have an edge on them is if the utility power used to produce electricity that charges the EV is run on coal or natural gas. If it's nuclear power, then no, they come out ahead in terms of impact on environment.
