Buy a V8 and save the planet?

Think electric cars are going to save the planet?

Think again.

When most people think of electric cars they think “lower emissions.” And it’s true - if you have an electric car it will produce lower emissions… from the car.

But to assume the car has no emissions is naive.

For example…

Where do you think they get the batteries from?

They dig them up out of the ground, that’s where.

They need that good ol' lithium.

And what do you think digs them out of the ground?

It’s not electric power, that’s for sure.

It’s fossil fuel that does it.

In fact… It’s the gas guzzlers.

The real BIG gas guzzlers.

And that’s why when you look at the stats of which type of car has the biggest environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gasses - the electric and the combustion cars come out very similar.

Now, maybe in the future it will be different.

But don’t think that just because the media paints a rosy picture of these electric cars that they’re the ‘solution’ to global warming.

They’re not.

Not by a long shot.

In fact, do you know what’s actually better for the planet than buying a new electric car?

Buying a second hand V8.

Yup, when you buy a second hand combustion engine car (even a big V8), you’re doing more to help the environment than buying a new electric car.

The reason?

The combustion car has already been built.

This is why The Aussie Hermit has made it a priority that my next car be at least a 7ltr V8.

I want to remind myself that every time I’ve got my foot to the floor, getting 10 miles per gallon, and letting out a blast that would make Arnold Schwarzenegger whimper, that I’m doing more to save the planet than any virtue signalling Tesla driver.

What a great feeling that will be.

I'll probably even get fancy bumper sticker that says “Saving the Planet One V8 at a Time.”

Or… “V8’s for Global Warming.”

Maybe, however, I’m being a little too ambitious…

Because who am I kidding…

With the 3.5 minutes per day I spend out of the Man Cave, I won’t be driving it that much.

Instead, I’ll be focused on reading about the latest conspiracy theory (I think lizard people rule the world now), on polishing my various gas guzzlers, and, of course… on going over the boring fundamentals of growing a business like…

1. 

Building a responsive list, and
2.
Sending a daily email to that list with an offer that list wants.

Doesn’t get any more, simple, straightforward and boring than that.

(Or profitable).
