That is generally true (but depends on costs associated with moving the electricity) although coal is so absolutely terrible that it's still pretty bad. I suppose it's probably serviceable if you have transitioning sources like natural gas.

Still, a bus is better if you have anything like carrying capacity number of people.

Mining metals is significantly greener and more sustainable than using fossil fuels. Engineering can potentially stabilize the ground around a mine, and minimize the environmental damage. Undoing the damage of fossil fuels involves basically reversing thermodynamics.

Electric vehicles are still a meaningful improvement as long as your grid is green. If the grid isn't green, it's largely meaningless.

...I mean, no it's not. The expectation is that laws change from their draft forms. That's just how politics work.

Using a months old condemnation without context for if it's still relevant is dumb as a bag of bricks. You don't get to ignore questions of relevancy by arguing that a controversy is eternally relevant somehow. Plus this isn't an impossible question to answer, I just don't have any easy way to answer it myself.

Before anyone loses their shit: The EFJ criticized this back in July. It's been months since then and it's gone through revisions. I don't speak Ukrainian so I can't personally verify what the bill actually says now, but my understanding was that the bill was criticized for granting too much power over non-traditional media like websites. Most of the Ukrainian sites I'm reading are saying that it's primarily focused on providing more control over traditional media broadcasting in it's current form. Unless a local or Ukrainian speaker confirms that it has been relatively unaltered a lot of the speculation in the comments section is misguided.

The other aspect is that, to be frank, Journalists always argue for no regulation of Journalists. They are biased here by circumstance and creed, and as an American I have a very strong belief that they can't be trusted to represent themselves fairly in this matter. Misinformation thrives because the new Media cycle is broken, and special interests have been allowed to purchase and control Media with impunity. Yes, government regulation is an imperfect solution, but unregulated journalism is a disease.
