Definitely worth thinking about for the future. Right now it would fuck over a whole lot of working class people. We need to get robust public transit up and running.
it would fuck over our entire economy and infrastructure. it’s an asinine question to pose by itself, in a vacuum.
But we will have to get there, especially for the optional shit - cruise ships, motorcross, snow-mobiling, pleasure / recreation boats and RVs - if it’s optional, aka, not absolutely necessary to the business of righting the ecosystem, it goes.
Let people cruise and moto and snowmobile on renewably derived electricity if they absolutely HAVE to have these luxuries, but no more 2-strokes spewing unburned gas into the ecosystem, no more ‘environmental cruises’ to the arctic where these fucks burn bunker oil constantly in the last ‘mostly untouched’ ecosystem on the planet.
The only question is: how serious are we, as a species, about stopping the pain?
Because at the rate we’re going, we won’t - and will doom our species and ecosystem, and it’s coming QUICK. 1.5c is gone already lol. The mountains are not regaining snowpack. the AMOC is wobbling. Once that goes, large parts of the ecosystem will falter.
So can we quickly do the mature thing and put away the toys, and struggle with a single focus on saving ourselves?
Or will we let the dipshits and assholes vroom vroom their way to our collective destruction, because we decided long ago to let the stupids drive the bus?
