Why electric cars are NOT green machines: The environmental benefit of EVs may never be felt as their production creates up to 70% more emissions than petrol equivalents
Electric cars need to be used for tens of thousands of miles before they offset the higher releases, with VW's e-Golf becoming more environmentally friendly only after 77,000 miles, according to the manufacturer's own figures.
But there are fears that many such vehicles will never hit their mileage target as owners upgrade to newer models, leaving swathes of used electric cars sitting unwanted on garage forecourts.
Volvo revealed in 2021 that the emission from the production of electric cars can be up to 70 per cent higher than petrol models and said it would require between 30,000 and 68,400 miles for an EV to become greener overall, which typically takes four to nine years.
This is chiefly due to the batteries used to power electric cars. They require raw materials such as cobalt and lithium that need to be mined in places such as Africa and South America before being transported across the globe.
The environmental toll of EV manufacturing led actor Rowan Atkinson to recently claim he felt 'a little duped' by electric cars as he urged people to keep hold of their petrol vehicles for longer.

Science is an artform. You can't rush a brilliant painting. Each stroke has to be laid down carefully, with careful execution of color and technique. Publish or perish culture creates huge numbers of artistically devoid, cheap papers that suffocates the entire artform.

We know that Orthodoxy is experiencing major growth in the US among people who are not typically known for being Orthodox, though granted it is starting at such a small point that even if it becomes exponential, it will be at least years before it becomes a non-negligible percent of the population.
What about in other places? Is this kind of growth occurring in other western countries that are not typically known for Orthodoxy?

"... the threat articulated by Renat Karchaa with specific intelligence he had received was that Ukraine plans to hit the plant with missiles armed with radioactive waste that has previously been taken out of a different nuclear plant. The reason for this is obvious: given that I just explained how difficult it is to actually create a full blown “disaster” in the form of a ‘full meltdown’, this plan would then call for simply spreading detectable radiation over the plant in order to manufacture the narrative that Russia has initiated a plant meltdown/disaster.
"Recall that it was my own theory weeks ago which stated that Ukraine would not need to create an actual disaster there because the media would shore up whatever narrative is required by NATO and the West. It seems my forecast was on the right track. The ‘Constant Phoenix’ plane simply needs to get a measurement of radiation drifting from the general vicinity and all the appropriate media campaigns and NATO agendas can be immediately activated with zero oversight."

What Physicists Don't Know About Electromagnetism
Hans G. Schantz
LibertyCon June 23, 2023
In the 1940s, physicists and engineers alike used Stratton’s Electromagnetic Theory as their text. They learned about such applied topics as simple antennas, waveguides, arrays, even radio wave propagation over the earth. Today, physicists use Jackson’s Classical Electrodynamics. There’s still material on simple antennas and waveguides, but nothing on arrays and the only practical case of radio wave propagation mentioned is Schumann resonances.
Since WWII, physicists have been pursuing and refining "Quantum Electro-Dynamics," or QED, a dubious perturbation theory that has delivered 12-digit agreement between theory and experimental measurements of the electron, but fails to align with the properties of the electron's heavier cousin, the muon.
Meanwhile radio scientists and electromagnetic engineers have taken Schelkunoff’s concept of “impedance” and put it to work in a host of practical applications understanding transmission and reflection of microwave signals. They’ve worked out link laws that describe what fraction of energy makes it from a transmitter to a receiver, or reflects from a target in a radar system. They’ve worked out fundamental equations for physical limits on the size and performance of small antennas.
What else don’t physicists know about electromagnetism?
And what implications does it have for our understanding of how the world works?
