The kids talk sh*t but forget to factor in reality.  Thats what separates adults from wishful children.

But this is hawaii.  Where hard working citizens are used only for revenue for wishful thinking.
Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.

Suit wants to implement more EVs but....

https://www.khon2.com/local-news/electric-vehicles-will-be-harder-to-access-in-hawaii/

Effective today, Matson won’t take a booking to ship electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. They say it’s “due to increasing concern for the safety of transporting vehicles powered by large lithium-ion batteries.”

This is from a carrier that moves about 30,000 vehicles to and from Hawaiʻi every year, a growing number of EVs and hybrids.

The carrier tells KHON2 there have not been any E.V. fire incidents aboard Matson ships serving Hawaiʻi.

We should ban smart phones.  The amount of carbon emissions when finding, mining, and processing materials plus the manufacturing of these devices is killing the planet.  That's not including the hazardous waste from unwanted phones.

Side benefit -- kids will have to start learning and remembering things for themselves, and parents can save thousands.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
