1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: So what we need I was thinking to myself yesterday

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: what we need is, are are you sure we know

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: what we are doing before we rush into this catalog

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,079
Speaker 1: or guide. So the EV's story might turn out to

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: be one of the worlds and certainly the transport industry's

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: biggest headaches, as company after company admit they leapt in

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: weight too quick to electric, brought into all the government

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: led madness on climate, and invested god knows how much

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: to transfer to a mode of movement the world wasn't

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: ready for or wanted. EV's were sold as a well

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: way more than they ever were, and now even the

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: scientists are waking up. We've got a very good piece

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: of reading I'd recommend to you from doctor Carolyn Shaw,

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, whereby

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: they do what we really should have done at the start.

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: They look at the EV in totality. Don't get all

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: hyped and hooked up on emissions. I mean, yes, emissions

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: in an EVV petrol debate drop, But what about the

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: rest of it? They looked at all sorts of things.

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: The extra weight, for example, therefore the extra wear and tear,

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: the weight and therefore the potential for injury if you

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: get hit by something way heavier, the cheapness of driving

23
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: there before you drive more. Therefore, our fitness drops as

24
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: we drive and don't walk. Myriad of things that should

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: have been thought about and scoped on day one and

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: waded up, because here's the end result when you add

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: all that stuff up, the good, the bad, and the

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: ugly electrifying cars would lie somewhere, she says.

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: Between harmful and neutral? Are you serious harmful? Going electric

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: could be harmful? Would it have not been useful to

31
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: crunch a few of those ideas to understand right at

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: the start before the subsession took off? Or like so

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: much ideology, do the details not really matter as long

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: as we can leap on the old bandwagon, take a

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: small piece of the bigger picture, milkot for all it's

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: worth knowing that we can leave the reality and the

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: clean up for another day. This, by the way, is

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: not antiev It's just simply the realization that, like most

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: things in life these days, what was the answer was

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: the obsession was the next new thing actually turns out

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: to be just another piece in a way bigger, more

42
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: complex picture than the obsessive ever care to learn of it.
