The earth will not survive - and we have to stop driving cars

We have to stop driving. We cant drive regular, or electric cars. Neither are efficient, and neither are environmental friendly because of the big amounts of energy they use. An electric car can and have the potential to be emissionless vehicles. In the real world though, it doesnt work out. Producing electric batteries, and electric energy, costs a lot and isnt an environmental friendly process. Producing electricity is mostly used by burning coal or natural gas, and as you probably can imagine, none are selfsustainable sources. 

We could use electric scooters, those would reduce our carbon footprint a lot. In fact, according to Lime, an electric scooter can save up to 350 grams of carbon dioxide per mile compared to driving a car. This is without the consideration of producing electricity/batteries, but it is a lot more environmental friendly.

But if we want to save the earth, we have to stop driving, and start walking or biking. Or build nuclear fusion-powered powerplants, but nobody really wants that. Humans are lazy, and in the end it`s going to kill our planet.
