# [New EV vs. old beater: Which is better for the environment?](https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/04/new-ev-vs-old-beater-which-is-better-for-the-environment/)

TL;DR:

* If you are buying a new car anyway the EV will be better than an ICE car in about a year.

* If you have an ICE car now, buying a new EV will save on carbon output after about 2 years

So, your next car should be an EV, and if you want to get a new EV to replace your old ICE car you will not be adding carbon because of the manufacturing assuming you keep a car for 3+ years. (And of course if you are a new-car-every-3-years person then make your next car and EV)

#Dodgers lost on a lot of offensive failure. 😥 #CT# has some 'splaning to do.

Well that was short lived.

And speed does not slump! #Dodgers #TreaTurner

The question has come up about why the Storm Father is so different in the released prelude than in the first 4 books. There has been a lot of speculation that He is lying to Gavalar. However I come at this from the perspective that the Storm Father was too frank with Gavelar and has chosen to not disclose any information to Delenar unless he asks.

In other words I take the position that the prelude gives more information than was reveled in the first 4 books -- which fits Sanderson's style of parsing out an ever more complete picture as the narrative progresses.

Who schedules a church meeting during a #Dodger game? Well that's over now.

Hey wait what happened to the crushing lead we had when I left?

I am a big #BrandonSanderson fan and would post some thoughts on the #StormlightArchive, but I want to know about #spoiler protocols first.

I have some thoughts on book 5 prolog.
