        I guarantee getting another 30 years out of my 30 year old car is lower impact than buying a new one because it’s electric

          Look, maybe you will be able to get another 30 years out of your car, and if so good for you, but eventually we have to stop using fossil fuels. That’s all I’m saying. The longer we keep using oil, the more impacts on the climate. But also, the more oil we use, the faster it runs out. And once it’s gone, it’s just gone. Forever, no more. Sure, we probably won’t run out in 30 years, but it is a finite resource so we run out eventually. I just don’t know why people are in such a hurry to completely use it all up as quickly as possible, especially knowing what it’s doing to the climate. I just don’t get it.
