Exhaust Fumes

E-bikes, E-scooters, E-cars Darting through the streets Even E-mountain bikes To take you to the peaks. One problem with this E-solution Is the amount of E-pollution as we plug them in at night drawing power, out of sight. Unlike the runner or the cyclist powered by plant-based fuels shortsightedly we lobby for these battery powered tools. It seems these “green” solutions all contain a power curse for it seems to me their “green-ness” is fueled by something worse. They grasp the reins with steely fingers in a “gentle” show of force for the basis of their movement is “keep the blinders on the horse” John G. Lawless ©4/3/2022

The 'solution' is worse than the problem itself. As usual...

I have to agree with you John, the only way these electric vehicles will ever be a solution, is if they had solar panels and were self-charging. Great rhyming!
