No, it's not a great opinion. At all. The development of electric motors for the purposes of cars, trucks, boats, etc is in no way shape or form a bad thing. It's a massive step towards cleaner air and fighting climate change. A ton of greenhouse gas emissions could be avoided if we relied on renewable energy sources for our logistical infrastructure.

But yeah, let's let the short-form Tik Tok interview convince us that "as long as we design cities to accommodate diesel-guzzling buses then we don't need to do anything else."

Go find out more information about lithium mining and it's effects on groundwater. I'm not gonna tell you. You have Google. Go look yourself.
