I generally agree with this sentiment: fuck cars in general, but we can’t discount the reduction in oil demand associated with EVs. Transportation accounts for 50%ish of total emissions. That’s a big piece of the pie in terms of emissions reduction. Further, storage and reduction don’t translate at a 1:1 ratio. If you reduce, you’re much better off than storing in terms of carbon.
Do we need a much better transportation system? Absofuckingloutley. EVs can help transition, at least in the short term but I see hybrid of trains/buses and micromobility as the path forward
