EVs = deforestation

Grid updates mean utility pole demand has exploded
I want to hear from all yall down voters.
Here's some more, similar knowledge

Pin pointing EVs for wood is pretty dumb, imo. A lot more wood is used for housing and furniture. There's also a lot of plastic in cars, a lot more than the wood used to put up... what's the article angry about? Oh... power lines.
Just reality. I thought it was pretty clear but I'll say it anyway, it's angry about deforestation, with a particular emphasis on old trees, hundreds, setumes thousand year old lynchpins in an already devastated ecosystems.
As I have never actually seen a local power line (and the high voltage ones obviously don't use wood), can I get some feedback which countries actually use overland lines using wood for their local grid?
(Also @WarmSoda...)
Electric Cars are like bottom of the list when it comes to deforestation. If it's even on that list.
Roads, yes.
But like the other guy said, this article just makes fuckcars look childish.
Wood is renewable.
It definitely can be, but it still usually isn't depending on where it comes from. IKEA is still busy selling the little remaining european old-growth forest they acquired through questionable means, as certified, renewable, eco-friendly, cheap-as-shit furniture.
2 big problems with that statement. 1st, it's being harvested at a much greater rate than it's being replenished. Second, old trees and old forests are far more valuable to the ecosystem than the cookie cutter "forests" planted after harvests.
Europeans forest are growing back, so your first statement isn't true:

This is asinine.
