I have tried to drive people away from watching History Channel due to what it instills in people’s heads. It has a load of Anglo supremacist propaganda, especially USA. They have a program they run on it for Indians, so India gets their 1% share of respect, and they feel they are together with the Anglo “tribe”, and not like those Egyptian/Chinese “aliens”.
I have tried to call out anonymity abusers and “freezepeach” irresponsible assholes in privacy community for a while, being in the community for years now as a known privacy guide writer. I think the only way this selfish ignoramus community will ever listen is when they suffer due to these insufferable sewage rats that love to use freedom to say N word, f*g or watch child porn. I am getting tired of blaring the horns and hammering the gong.
I only shared the EV magazine link as I saw fair amount of neutrality. I knew this was going to come up, conflict of interest usually does become a problem, but it looks OK here on this topic.
Its all about the Pareto’s principle, no matter what it is. Find the Pareto frontier, and target it, but with proper assumptions as there can be more than 1 case targets. So that would look like, in no order:
- an actual (and not for media optics) cutdown on speeds
- less weight of cars without compromising safety
- methods to hinder tyre particles from getting out at all (Tyre Collective built a device releasing next year, as these particles are electrostatic)
- using less cars and more motorcycles
- better and less toxic tyres
- any tyre companies penalised, and tyre industry regulated for tyre pollution like how tailpipe pollution got regulated and successfully controlled
From https://evmagazine.com/sustainability/how-much-pollution-comes-from-electric-vehicle-tyres
Emissions Analytics provides various samples from its tests to give an all-round view of tyre pollution. The team has now tested more than 300 tyres on the European market, identifying 78 organic compounds and recognising 46 hazards codes. It turns out the least toxic tyre compound is 85% less polluting than the most toxic version.
I think the answer does lie in using less toxic tyres, as a starting point, something I was suspecting.
Another source says:
The International Union for Conservation of Nature pegs tires as the second leading source of microplastic pollution in oceans, and one 2017 study found a global per capita average of .81 kilograms in tire emissions per year, ranging from .23 kg per year in India to 4.7 kg (roughly 10 pounds) in the US. That may seem minor stacked up against the nearly 300 pounds in plastic waste the average American generates each year, but microplastics are tiny by definition — and an insidious source of toxins that researchers are only beginning to understand.
There is a colossal difference between India (where I live) and US, for example.
Also another article points out only large BEVs will be heavy, as usual BEVs will become similar in weight to normal fossil fuel cars by 2025.
Motorcycles produce exponentially lower pollution than cars, and cycles more or less produce none, which should be used, but cars are a need due to shitty designing of cities, and capitalist growth chasing.
Would you like to know who this most likely is? One of GrapheneOS alts, that used to go by the name of Jack___, where it can be JackSwimmingfruit, JackSparrow, JackFruit and so on, sometimes with numbers appended to username as suffix. GrapheneOS shills often go around shilling Google, Apple and USA Big Tech closed source corpos as messiahs of the world, using such dirty tactics. People like me have fought tooth and nail against them, and I continue to protect privacy sublemmy here as mod.
This JWayn replying to you is also a GrapheneOS shill. His posting history speaks for it.
Accountability is not a strong suit of slimy weasels in the world.
