There are definitely things that we as a species are doing spectacularly wrong. Plastic is absolutely everywhere, comes from oil you know, so what is all the wrapping doing to the two courgettes you buy in a tray and wrapped in film doing to the carbon footprint of two courgettes?
The entire E vehicle thing for me is a complete crock, we could have windmills all day but where the hell does the power to charge these e-vehicles come from?

If you want to get technical about it, the laws of thermodynamics dictate that every time you convert one energy form to another, energy is constant, it cannot be lost. It can and does get converted into other forms depend on how it is transmitted - it's not for nothing that main power get's converted to high tension (still with losses associated with heat) and the phrase "cooking on gas" didn't come from nothing!
What I'm saying is, the closer you can harness the stoichiometric energy of a fuel the more efficient it is. If you burn Gas to create 2 KW's then transmit it from a power station on a HT transmission network it "could" lose .5Kw thats 25% loss before it ever has to trickle into a battery to be further depleted before being used - aside form the fact the carbon footprint of just making an e-vehicle exceed running a diesel for it's typical lifetime.
You could go nuclear and we probably are (even though we don't admit it in Ireland) that cable between wales and Ireland doesn't mean we are proponents for nuclear fission technology. they just do it in wales and uk. We're green!
