    Not personal vehicles no. Half the pollution of a car doesn’t come out the tail pipe. EVs are a huge problem. Additionally the amount of EVs we’d need to make to compensate for all the cars out there is gigantic.

    There is no good environmental argument for every household to continue to own a personal vehicle and to maintain and build the insane amount of infrastructure they need.

    tldr; trains, buses, bikes unless there’s a specific need like for manual labor or going to very low population places

      There is no serious response to carbon emissions that does not involve electric personal vehicles.

      I understand and support the world you want to live in, but that world is, at minimum, a century away.
