blizzard at night, you are likely to die. The car ‘dies’, as battery power drops
due to the cold. There is now no heating. You freeze inside, you freeze outside
trying to find help. Petrol and diesel cars do not have this problem.

Here is an excellent short video which highlights the contradiction at the heart of the green movement, namely that it is funded by the very people that it opposes - the billionaires who run the major banks and fossil fuel companies.
