The EPA’s final rule follows a concession to labor unions worried about a rapid shift to electric vehicles, and a nod that EV sales are slowing

    Remember kids, EVs are still personal vehicles and they are an unreasonable solution in urban settings. I really wish President ILOVETRAINS would show trains and subways some fucking love.

      I just wish I had some sidewalks man. My street only has handicap ramps at the intersections and then the sidewalk just ends in grass. Like who the fuck does that help?

        I wish. My town is an older town, which is great in many ways but sidewalks are not one of them. I think the town relies on developers to put in sidewalks and it may not even be required, which leaves it piecemeal, and no progress in front of older buildings

          Back to those trains again …

          • MBTA is apparently “the most to dangerous transit system in the US”, so yeah. However we screwed it up ourselves
          • all those $500k planning grant to investigate rail enhancements …. With a blue wave, maybe we could implement a bunch of them
          • or making more baby steps on that $1T or so it would take to grow Acela into high speed rail

      Trains were always going to be the slowest option to implement, but IRA put more money into passenger trains than ever before

      …. Too much of it was “$500k to study” in many places but hopefully a step forward
