Are Chinese trackless Trams the Best New Thing to Hit the Road in your City? - SUTP
EV's the way to go , but.
Just what the world needs , junking all the ice vehicles and replacing them with another fleet of wasteful single person vehicles?
The world needs to more efficient , needs to consume less .
The way we are trying to reduce the carbon intensity of our transportation is inefficient.
And Pinto , how much carbon emitted and resources used to knock down an apartment block and rebuild?
Not sure we can be quite as blase about such things, except in a capitalist world , of course , where the true costs of such actions are borne by the community and the planet.
And are you really going to knock this down? Perhaps we need to discourage such waste?
How about redesigning our cities so that lots of individual vehicles are not the go-to option.
Even your driverless vehicles have just as many little boxes , or in fact , even more ,clogging up the roads as per now.
And they may not be in the garage , but they are parked somewhere.
Check out the carbon economics of putting 30 people on a bus , even a diesel one , vs 30 ev's heading into town.
My daughter lives in Melbourne , survives with public transport , hire cars and uber [ and a flat ] , but she wouldn't be able to do it if she lived in East Doncaster.
For me , if public resources are to be expended , change Doncaster and public transport .
Time we started thinking Singapore rather than Los Angeles.
I must admit that using resources which benefit the whole community , rather than subsidising the upper middle class's desire for a shiny new Tesla makes me feel good as well.
