Offering alternative opinions for discussion might be something like why you favor electric vehicles, why they are important to you for the future, why you want to see the end of gas-powered vehicles, etc.  Your president has mandated that we go to these very soon, and we here have been educating each other as to why EVs are a bad idea--bad for the economy, bad for national security, bad for safety.  I have never heard anyone on the left counter these ideas by saying no, EVs will not put us at the mercy of China, no, EVs will not hurt the national economy OR individual (family) wealth, or that no, EVs are perfectly safe.  I have not heard those on the left counter the idea that no, we won't soon have landfills full of used batteries from EVs, either. 

I would suggest that EVs are not a responsible green alternative any more than solar or wind power are a responsible green energy alternative, but liberals will not counter that with rational discussion, because it is not about what will work, it seems to be simply about getting rid of  carbon-powered anything.  I'm sorry, liberals, but this does not come across as rational, and I never hear anything different.  Just how evil coal, gas, and nuclear power are.  Of course much of this is tied to the misconception that these power sources are "killing the planet," which is not a given, either, and if one is religiously attached to the "climate change crisis," odds are we can't agree.
