On EVs, Mr. Bean Says:

The Green Alliance pressure group said: ‘One of the most damaging articles was a comment piece written by Rowan Atkinson in the Guardian which has been roundly debunked.’

What seems to be the problem is that Mr. Atkinson made a solid rational argument concerning the actual goal our green friends supposedly have, that is reducing Co2 emissions and our green friends don’t seem to have any counter other than claiming it to be “debunked” which sound a lot like the vaccine companies talking when people were warning about the side effects of the shots.

And again, note that Atkinson didn’t talk about things he could have brought up. High Cost, Limited Range, Lack of Charging stations, performance in cold, repair cost, battery fires or even the human cost of the child slave labor to get the lithium. 

Bottom line if they have a better and more rational argument rather than just an agenda to push there are certainly a whole lot of other prominent lefty stars out there that the public would trust who could deliver it for them.

The headline is a bit of a joke, as Rowan Atkinson's most famous character usually says very little at all. I didn't know that Atkinson has degrees in electrical engineering and control systems, which makes him at least an informed critic of EVs ... especially after he enthusiastically bought one himself and now feels "duped." Read it all, and give a cheer for the Black Adder.
