So true. For me, a blind person, this is a human rights issue as well
as a climate issue. Yes, electric vehicles are awesome. I love riding
in them. When I take Lyft and the driver has an electric, I nerd
out and ask them a bunch of semi-technical questions.
It's very superior to internal combustion.
But it would be so much better to live in a world built for people,
not for cars. A world where I didn't feel like I was literally taking
my life into my hands every time I walked down a busy street.
Here in the US, we have this mindset that every problem can be solved
by consumption. Just buy some shit and the world will be better.
We saw it after September 11, when Bush got on TV and told people to
go shopping. Detroit, orSilicon Valley, or whoever -- has a solution
for whatever your problem is, and all you have to do is buy it.
By the same token, the opposite -- and to some, equally alluring -- trap is a sort of hair-shirt
anti-materialism / anti-consumption that says individuals can change
the world through enough self-flagellation. That's another post entirely,
though.
My point is these are collective problems and we have to solve them
collectively.
