Electric Cars Will Not Offset Environmental Destruction

 The world attempts to move away from fossil fuels, hoping this will slow down climate change. Electric anything is the rage, as though this will rescue humanity. 

All around the world, forests, mangroves, ocean floors and more are destroyed. Instead of living with less, development continues out of control. Even if all vehicles become electric, this will not offset the harm that unbridled development and environmental destruction cause. Besides the fact that electricity needs to come from somewhere, the endless pursuit of more at the expense of environmental protection and health ensures no technology will rescue us from ourselves.
