"The electric car #EV will not whisk us towards an ever growing yet greener future.
If govs were truly serious about reducing emissions, they would celebrate #walking and subsidize #bicycles instead of $70,000 vehicles for the rich.
They would improve #publictransportation and make our cities walkable again… & help us imagine a livable economy that uses less energy of every source, not more."

@josemurilo You are letting the perfect become the enemy of the good. There is nothing that is preventing more investment in walk-ability and public transit while also de-carbonizing our personal transportation.
Honestly if there was sustainable way to have public transit get me the 20 miles from my house out a dirt road to my job in a light industrial area several miles out of town I would be all for it. But there are a lot of people outside of the sick and overcrouded cities who are unlikely to be served by public transportation this generation. My #EV keeps the big diesel pickup in my back yard from being my daily driver.
