It's Not Easy Being Green: Amazon Using Diesel Generator To Charge Electric Fleet?
A post started a charged debate on social media last week, as TikTok user drewgoo posted a video that seems to show a diesel generator powering
electric trucks.
It was also reposted on X, where it gathered over 6 million views.

Wind turbines... so green!
You have any idea how much diesel they have to burn to mix that much concrete or make that steel and haul this shit out here and put it together with
a 450 ft crane?
You want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that fucking thing or winterize it? And in it's 20 year life span, it won't offset the carbon
footprint of making it. And don't get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery.
And never mind the fact that if the whole world decided to go electric tomorrow, we don't have the transmission lines to get the electricity to the
cities. It would take 30 years if we started tomorrow.
If we start tomorrow, and unfortunately for your grandkids, we have a 120 year petroleum-based infrastructure. Our whole lives depend on it. And
hell, it's in everything that road we came in on. The wheels on every car ever made, including yours, it's in tennis rackets and lipstick and
refrigerators and antihistamines, pretty much anything plastic, your cell phone case, artificial heart valves, any kind of clothing that's not made
with animal or plant fibers, soap, fucking hand lotion, garbage bags, fishing boats, you name it, every fucking thing.
