    The point of transportation reform isnt to get a new type of car, its to eliminate the need for cars

      Many parts of the world currently depend on cars, and that cannot easily be changed. While it’s not impossible, eliminating cars will require a long time. Much longer than the amount of time we have left to avert catastrophic climate change.

        Unless those electric cars are running on entirely renewable energy, it’s a non-positive

          Electric vehicles add demand to the power grid. These days, increased demand is met by increasing renewable energy production (mostly wind turbines). Nobody is building coal plants any more.

      If you think personal forms of transportation will ever disappear you are straight up delusional. That’s not “reform” that’s ignorance.

        Agreed, but social media has become an echo chamber for fuckcars and good luck reasoning with them.
