I’m sorry, but how are daily commuters not a huge part of the cause?
But daily commuters aren’t really the problem in itself, it’s the combustion engine cars. Blocking road also blocks people in EVs or even the ones taking the bus.
It’s less bad than burning gasoline by far, but your argument is only an environmental one on the surface. I just wish people like you would come out and say you’re against individual autonomy already.
Wtf are you talking about? Cobalt is a rare earth blood mineral, so continuing on with our car-centric society will make battery demand unsustainable and kill 1000s of workers. I want human-scale architecture with highly accessible public transit, so people have more choices to travel. Car-centric architecture spreads things out by necessity, which creates unnecessary waste and destruction of wildlife.
Efforts are already underway to remove it from future battery production, and so far they’ve been fairly successful.
You just don’t want people to be able to move on any terms besides those of whoever owns mass transit. Please stop trying to pretend that’s not the case.
There is room for cars to exist. I think most vehicles don’t need to be as large as they are currently, but there’s still a place for them. I just also want highspeed passenger rail, busses, lrt, bikes, and walking to be considered. I also want the government to offer these as a service, I don’t want any corporate involvement with public transit.
I think for certain types of mass transit, specifically buses, corporate control would be fine as long as there’s enough regulation to ensure a reasonable minimum standard of safety. Even corporate trains might work if someone can wrest control of the actual rails themselves away from the freight companies.
I agree, though. There’s room for both mass transit and individual transportation in the world.

Keeping everything else the same but switching to EV is still really bad for the environment and bad for people.

Clearly someone here thinks the US = the entire world.
On the opposite side of the world said “reasonable standard of safety” is literally the norm.
The point is to be seen.
It’s generally an issue in children when their developing brains are unable to discern the difference between positive and negative attention.
I guess that explains the right wing
I think the point is to actually cause change.
And I don’t know how you’ll accompish that, when your actions piss of the majority of people that are actually on your side.
