When people trade-in their gas cars for EVs, their gas cars are re-sold to other countries and keep on polluting.
(https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/21/africa/west-africa-benin-used-cars-climate-intl/index.html)
Tire pollution (the microplastics and metal pollutants that come off tires as people drive) is 2000x worse than tailpipe emissions, and EVs don't help with this.
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/07/09/tire-brake-tailpipes-emissions-pollution-cars/)
3,000 pound vehicles for personal transportation make these problems inescapable.
The only thing that makes sense is transitioning beyond cars in general.

@KiffinEileen An effective way to keep low taxes without harming services is to increase density.
One cannot reasonably have low density and low taxes while expecting any services to remain.

Debates over #density in many cities usually turn into yelling matches between do-nothing NIMBYs and high-rise developers. We need architects to offer a third alternative: density you would actually welcome next door. A recent contest in S.F. shows how it might work, with stepped-up units that blend in with its neighborhood AND bring new neighbors to the area. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/s-f-sunset-housing-50-story-tower-18193132.php #urbanism
It's weird that rural people who complain about dense populations in cities are likely to deny that overpopulation is a problem. Seems like they would want to keep their rural areas unpopulated. "The city liberals think the world is overpopulated" Like, yeah we need to live in densely populated areas because the world is overpopulated. (Densely populated cities are more socially beneficial and energy/time efficient as well as space effecient)

If we drove somewhat #smaller cars, built more #masstransit, increased the #density of #cities and #suburbs, and worked hard from the start on #battery #recycling, then “lithium demand can be reduced by up to ninety-two per cent in 2050, in comparison to the most lithium-intensive scenarios.

St. Agnes pastor to critics: “We are building to leave a legacy.
“Why is it that the Lord cannot deserve something that is decent, and in good shape so the people can congregate, to listen to his word, and to celebrate a funeral or a wedding, a baptism?” asked the Rev. Juan Carlos Paguaga

There appears to be a fledgling pro-YIMBY movement starting in Sydney: https://www.sydney.yimby.au/
They are hosting a launch night if you are interested: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sydney-yimby-launch-tickets-652714856707
There is also https://www.yimbysydney.com/ run by @JessScully

I don't think it's a matter of #optimistic vs. #pessimistic. It's that the #engineering, #infrastructure, #economics, #population, population #density, and #remoteness of #France are utterly #unlike what they are here in the #prairies.
2 years? Not possible here. If we wanted to replace 80% of ICE vehicles with BEVs, we need major electrical #generation and #transmission upgrades. I'm #guesstimating it it started today, it would take 20 years.
