Cars are the primary mode of transport, if people travelled some other way that would be killing them instead. You can't accelerate humans beyond 30mph without some risks. -

@Eiregoat @jeffcliff @Terry @Red_Hat @Xenophon I read this as "Cats are the primary mode of transport" three times before I realized it was not a typo and I just can't read today. and I was hoping for a fun fantasy story!

It's too dangerous to abdicate control of transport to governments and publicly appointed monopolies. Therefore the common man must own his own means of transport and bikes aren't going to cut it for every kind of journey.
If you'd like to argue motor vehicles should be smaller and lighter I'd be inclined to agree, but nonetheless they should exist and be privately owned. -

and how many children are killed every year in car accidents, again?
private ownership of cars kills almost as many people every year as covid does. -

@Red_Hat @Terry @Xenophon I'm anti *car*. I'm even more anti-ICE
Car use for anything other city-to-town or town-to-town rural travel, emergency services, or disabled people represents a failure in urban planning and infrastructure -

Rural people aren't the only ones who need cars. Most Americans live in suburban areas where a car is 100% necessary to do anything. My closest grocery store is a 10 minute drive. -

1. It is a rather impossible feat, since they cant even maintain roads.
2. They are counting on it not being upgraded because they dont want you owning a car.
3. Even upgraded, it couldnt sustain a full conversion to electric.
4. There is no need to have electric cars. Co2 scare is a proven lie.
5. Where is all the cobalt and lithium coming from that is much worse for the environment that oil? -

@Terry except there is a way to get the grid up to speed in 7 years
Updating the grid is not some impossible technical feat. It'll take work and $ but it is doable. -

@lanodan @Terry Texas is a special case, given how they have specifically designed their grid to be independent of the rest of the continent. Fediverse Contractor likes this. -

@jeffcliff @Terry It's not just grid, it's also power plants.
Imagine the absolute load you would get with people going to charge their EV once they come back home.
And grid collapse aka blackouts due to too much load happens, see Texas. -

Consumption by crypto miners is such a burden on the grid that the state (consumers) pays them to turn them off during peak use. -

Oil companies love it too since the huge increase in demand raises prices. That’s why Texan politicians welcome them in and shill for crypto. -

@bot @Terry @lanodan
sounds like a mutually beneficial outcome: grid gets mining when it's convenient to even out baseload
miners get subsidy from grid to help balance the grid
win win
