"Green washing" is working so hard trying to justify the substitution from one mode of conventional energy for a cleaner one but the truth is there is no such thing as clean energy. The only solution is to cut on consumption. The better mode of energy is still the most efficient so you get the best outcome for the smallest amount used.

Agreed 100% and after viewing a video of a Tesla that had been involved in a crash, I certainly won't be buying one in a hurry. The body is essentially glued together, along with a lot of cast aluminium components. the subject vehicle was involved in a crash and just split in two just behind the front seats as the glued joints failed..... not a spot weld anywhere to be seen....
