This is exactly it. Of course battery production is harmful too, but not only is it less harmful than other sources to extract, you also don't have to burn batteries to generate the power. With fossil fuels, the extraction is massively more harmful and then the use itself creates even more pollution.

It's so close to reality that I'll forgive it :P

Wait, are there cars with lights/wipers on a touch screen?

The internet has told me you don't enjoy changing sponges then.

Listen, I'm super smart and I definitely know what the right context is, but could you explain it for our dumber friends here?

I also hate SAGAs, and I also have to RMB trying to FIT. Agreed it's RBA!

So 30% of people can't afford their own house and that doesn't seem like inequality to you?

Here's the wiki page on global income equality, to address your claim that Europe is worse than the US:

Hell yeah, we've got a heat pump and we're in Canada where it can get to -40°C (which is coincidentally also -40°F) and that thing works like a beast. Fortunately we also have the cheapest electricity in North America so the decision was easy.
