Electric Cars Are Better for the Planet - and Often Your Budget, Too

[hunter]

34. No cars would be even better.

We need to restructure our cities such that car ownership is unnecessary.

This planet cannot support car ownership, electric or not, for every adult human.

There are simply too many of us.

I don't think car ownership is an essential component of human happiness. Indeed cars are a source of great misery to people who can't really afford them but must have them to get to work. And for some reason we seem to ignore people who are killed or maimed by cars every day.

My greatest hypocrisy as an environmentalist is that I own a car.

Fortunately I work at home and don't have to drive most days, especially during this covid-19 crisis.
