I want to ask you about some things. But first, you say

>* 60% of India's electric supply is coal based.

The long-term plan is that this all be replaced with non-polluting sources of electricity. But I am assuming you already knew that.

Now what I want to ask you is, if electric cars are a bad idea for reducing co2 pollution, what would you recommend? Or is it your position that anthropogenic climate change is a hoax, and we should just stay on fossil fuels?

When did I say that?

Replacing new and working oil cars with new electric cars in a short timeline is a poor decision which is far off from reality.

You didn't answer my question about what we should be doing instead. I am assuming that this is because you don't have a good answer.

Ofcourse I don't; as I am not a climate scientist who is doing research on it. I am from India and am giving a reality check. As for how switch to electric cars, I have answered @ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20117147.

HN threads are for healthy discussions and I would not expect a solution to climate change here.

Your language is aggressive & attacks me personally and I am not going to respond further.

I like your idea about following China's lead.
