Electric cars are here to save the auto industry, not the planet.

This is an interesting bowling I haven't heard before.

Totally agree that for areas with any population density we need good, regular and frequent mass transit.

I also believe that areas without good density, we need to convert to pockets of density to enable funding for transit. Also, hoarding ornamental land in North America is a dead old throwback to frontier days and we need to remediate those out to more shared or natural or aggro space.

We've spent too many years enabling this land hoarding by changing natural and aggro space to fucking mcmansion estates and that shit has to stop.

Not just mass transit, we need to make cities walkable and pedestrian friendly. No more stroads. No more big box stores with ginormous parking lots. No more "outdoor" malls. It's just extremely inefficient use of land.
