“Are electric vehicles better for the planet than gasoline-powered vehicles? This is the question we explore in my new documentary. Whether one agrees with former President Joe Biden, who calls climate change ‘an existential threat,’ or whether one agrees with the late physicist Freeman Dyson, who dismissed Al Gore and his ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ as ‘lousy science,’ this question remains. Are electric vehicles better for planet Earth than ‘gas guzzlers?’ After all, fossil-fuel-generated energy is required to manufacture an electric vehicle and then to transport it to the dealership. The electricity required to charge it comes mostly from fossil-fuel-generated power. Electric vehicles are a triumph of technology, with incredible features. They are quiet, fast and fun to drive. The self-driving feature, while not foolproof, will likely save lives because human driving error is more common.” (04/24/25)
