The EV thread

[kruddler]

The big problem is that the public as a whole is rather stupid

This is where governments are failing.

Take away from the first step of constant slashing from the education sector first, as thats a long term solution that is already overdue.

What they need to do is educate everybody as a whole into the hows and whys of science as a whole what everything means and what are the overall pros and cons of going down each particular path. Not just in terms of long term transportation, but energy as a whole.

Australia is largely seen as a smart country with brilliant advances coming from our residents.
However, that is an elite group of people driving that. The majority of us, don't have enough understanding of how basic scientific concepts work. How basic mathematical modelling works and how to interpret data correctly. Majority of people reduce some of the most complex simulations in the world to whatever their favourite youtuber puts out as a sound bite. "Dont forget to like and subscribe" is about the most annoying phrase i've ever heard, and i hear it dozens of times a week courtesy of my kids watching youtube non-stop.
