Yeah the population bomb fizzled (although family planning policy being widespread probably makes it another ozone layer) and upside down population pryamids are a more realistic scenario

I always like to say that the number of cars on the road should decrease by 90%. The other 10% accounts for every Edge case you can think of because if you look at the clogged freeways you don't see masses of Paratransit Vans or people hauling furniture taking up all the space
Yes, but so is better urban planning to make using a car unnecessary for most trips. Solarpunk urbanism is one of the most exciting things to come out of either solarpunk or urbanism
solar is gonna get us pretty damn close to unlimited clean power for at least part of the day
I wish fuel cells were cheaper. I looked into it once and it was over a thousand for even a low watt unit. and that's not counting the fuel or the tank. it wouldn't be hard to hot swap a fuel cell into my ebike but a battery is just cheaper
Not woke? Go broke
we need to work on moving communities over so people don't have to use reddit anymore
We already kind of do but it's all fucking grass. You could just repurpose 90% of Lawns outside of parks to Garden space and you would be halfway there
Considering how most rural towns in America are dying anyways you can ignore them and build for the urban future
basically everything is research scale right now, and we need to do full scale tests to make sure everything works and learn how to optimize things. there's also non-DAC options to work on too
