    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.

          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.
