What a bunch of “FAKE” information put together on a completely “FAKE” set of behaviors and contributions. I am certain that if we all pay 75% of our income in taxes this FAKE problem will be fixed! Fixed by politicians that only FAKE CARE in order to get our money.
Who is WalletHub? Do they not consider that electric cars are more damaging to the environment to manufacture than traditional cars? Do they not know that the cost of solar is not recoverable in a lifetime to the average household? Don’t forget that there is not a single piece of evidence that Humans contribute at all to any sort of climate change or that there is any climate change at all. It is all FAKE crap. WalletHub has an agenda as all environmentalist do and it is not to save the planet. It is to continue to be funded by idiots that believe the crap they are spilling out of the mouth sideways! WalletHub is a personal finance social network but they get to create FAKE news that gets passed around like it is fact by our liberal media that is just as bad as WalletHub.
New York is in the top 5? Find me any real person that actually would believe that nonsense!
Agree
Total greenweenie BS
