Factually incorrect video: At 26 seconds in it states this toy truck is a zero emission toy truck.
 Yet 80 percent of the electricity to charge its double A battery is generated by burning fuel which creates emissions. So its only zero emission if you don't use it, which any vehicle is.

An interesting view.




Besides, we will soon be at war with China.  Good luck getting lithium.

Do they forget the immense pollution just to make the batteries. Far worse than a diesel rig.

And still that cabin, which is very impractical in real trucking.

Green energy cannot pollute or create any harm to anyone. It's the official truth and we all must obey.

Once “they” get America only getting power from the grid, they will raise the prices.

Electricity will become the new oil. Except there's no separation between home and car, lose one lose both.

Nuclear reactors do not produce air pollution or carbon dioxide while operating, but their waste is another issue.

Nuclear Fusion and/or Near Perpetual Motion generators.
There is no carbon emitted from car nor grid.

Unfortunately we'll probably not see that until around 2050.
