Keep in mind that the ~1.5B cars + trucks in the entire world combine for only ~10% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Also, if your electricity is made by coal power plants there's no point using EV.
EVs are significantly more efficient in turning energy into movement, and generating power in a dedicated power plant is far more optimized than it is within an ice car. Even if you are getting all of your power from coal power plants, the emissions are likely close to parity if not marginally better.
That is the worst case scenario however. Most places in the developed world only get a percentage of their power from coal, and over the lifecycle of the vehicle, that percentage is set to reduce. It makes little sense to take about the state of the world today, when a new vehicle is expected to be on the road for multiple decades.
Your talking points are tired and not helpful. This is a transition that needs to happen. There are better critiques to be made.
Incorrect. Even if your power grid is the rare case of 100% coal power, an EV running on that grid would account for about as much CO2 as a ICE vehicle getting 50mpg which is better than most gasoline powered vehicles.
Since almost all power grids use a mix of fossil fuels and carbon-free sources, the actual numbers are much better than that worst case.
Feels great to see ambitious products like these pop up every now and then. I feel like there are too many boring startups nowadays. Yes, there's a big brother feel to it, but I believe it's a feature, not a bug. Otherwise it might not be innovative enough...
Edit : do you hire EU citizens ? :)
Edit edit : most of the world doesn't use macOS : what's your long-term vision for non Apple silicon users ? On smartphones ? Any plan on a hardware product that literally records everything you say ?
To me, Remix seemed like a very lightweight reimagining of what Next excelled at (server side react with nice frontend integration). It was exciting to see how quickly it handled dynamic renders when running from a Cloudflare worker. But now that Next 13 has layouts/server components, I prefer Next.js' approach due to all the other performance work they've done with images, fonts, css, etc.
One thing about Remix that always confused me was the very close ties to react router. It seemed like a distinct and unrelated concept to me, and the continued association seemed like a distraction from Remix's potential to be a stronger competitor to NextJS in the long run

Nextjs also has its own routing lib so I'm not sure why you think it's so weird that react router was involved.
Remix has some very clear second system advantages that become more apparent with usage. Next.js is trying to address many of their relative shortcomings in the 13 release. I would still advocate strongly for anyone to give Remix a try. Both are fine frameworks, at the end of the day.
Definitely it's how Remix presents itself. Their landing page reads like a marketing pitch by some crazy startup looking to raise money, not like a stable library to build a product on. You have to scroll quite far to get any factual information on what differentiates it from Next.js. I quote:
