MODERATORS
You keep using the word "future".
That's sort of the point you're ironically appearing to miss.
No, I'm not missing that the unchecked usage of mass polluting luxury vehicles by the 1% is a not-insignificant contirbutor to global emissions.
But the statement wasn't those fuckos should stop, it was "humanity shouldn't have" those things. An unqualified, blanket(, likely hyperbolic) denial. Like saying 'humanity shouldn't have personal cars' because EVs hadn't taken off yet.
Go deeper.
We shouldn't have these things because the usage is abused by every aspect of modern society. Look into the history of electrical and hydrogen engines. You'll see what I mean.
