News, Column: We’re in a climate crisis. It shouldn’t be this hard to buy an electric car : detailed suggestions and opinions about Column: We’re in a climate crisis. It shouldn’t be this hard to buy an electric car .
A year and a half ago, my conscience got to me, so I went shopping for an electric car.
I’d written about why Los Angeles now has more humidity and mosquitoes, why Joshua trees are dying, why juvenile great white sharks are migrating north to Monterey Bay, why there’s less coastal fog and slower growth in redwood forests, and why trophy grapes like cabernet sauvignon are living on borrowed time.
Climate change is the culprit, and vehicle emissions are a major cause.
My old Prius was no gas-guzzler, but it was beaten up and I was ready for some new wheels. I had issues, though, with the electric vehicles I considered.
