Lol, you should research how electricity is made, contained, transported, etc.

No one has yet even tried to explain why we need to have car racing. We don't. Comparing car racing to necessary activities such as travel, breathing(?) etc. is a false comparison.

World leaders flying internationally in private jets to negotiate on how to keep the world safe is unfortunately necessary. How is car racing necessary?

Because some people like it. End of story.

I'm sure people probably don't have an interest in some of your hobbies or interests, but we're not calling for them to be banned.

No one has yet explained why you put so much time and effort into this fake city data account, either.

Why do we need live music? Or spots? Or political rallies? Or hunting and fishing? Or recreational boating? Because people enjoy those activities. I don't get what you expect, really.

Or make the entire car out of solar panels, and racing starts at 7am.

I take it you've never heard of telephones, let alone the internet. There is no reason for "world leaders", let alone Hollywood celebs to fly, particularly by private jet, for much of anything-particularly to talk about the weather.

Why don't we eliminate other unnecessary things that people drive or take transportation to that are unnecessary. All sporting events. Concerts. Movies. Museums and art galleries. Or are you just looking to attack a particular sport that doesn't appeal to you?
