Cars Must Go
That's it? Cars must go? Toyota says they won't. Now what? Where's the design content in this piece?
There were several grammatical issues that screamed "designer bashing on a keyboard" rather than "journalist".
As someone who gets up into the mountains to hike, fish and camp as much as possible, it's pretty hard to do that without a car.
You're obviously destroying the human race. Everyone needs to live in--and never leave--a crowded city center.
The article and comments address the symptoms not the cause as one would expect of those less informed. You are not getting Americans out of their cars period so let's move on to something that will add value and improve lives. Electric cars in America are not the future, there is no electrical grid to support it, the battery technology while good has a long ways to get including the actual manufacturing and disposal-all highly toxic. Wind driven energy is a far better investment to develop the infrastructure free of fossil fuels.
Eating factory farmed meat is a FAR larger environmental impact than automobiles. I love when people claim they care about the environment and talk shit about cars, yet continue to wolf down burgers and poultry 3 times a day.
Oh yeah, and please check out those factory farms you're supporting, with the cows jammed against each other like slave ships, seperated from their moms at birth, or the chickens that have had their beaks seared off to prevent them from pecking at each other, walking on corpses of ones that didn't make it.
But cars are the problem. Give me a fucking break.
Transportation and Consumption are both part of the climate issue. This post is simply divisive and contributes nothing to the topic at hand. Congratulations.
Every single journalist, politician, environmental activist, etc. i hear these years talking about transportation as the big issue regarding climate changes, ALL of them have a picture of a static way of living, working and so on. As if there will not be any changes in the way we live and work. Driving off to the factory, to the office, and so forth, will that even be an issue for everyone within just a few years? Or will more jobs be possible to handle from your living room, from a nearby café, etc.? Not a single one of the ones talking about this and that and battery powered cars take such issues into consideration. There is only a burning desire for a new fight for resources, which in the 21st century them will be battery components, just as all the wars for oil in the preceding one. So please, every battery driven journalist, politician, etc., start having a holistic view on just some parts of the issues you’re dealing with.
Yes sure lets get rid of all the cars said George Jetson. Unlike most countries, public transit in the USA does not work for a wide range reasons in including geographical size, even in NYC the subway system is antiquated, its much needed but its a mess and no viable to fix it short of removing and rebuilding the entire system which will take 10 years plus and zillions of dollars. Lets move on to something more viable and in the realm of being feasible-mass transit in the USA is not one of them.
I smell socialism in this post. and it reminds me of the plastic straw alarmism that we have already disregarded as pointless. Unless you're living in California.
Don't forget shopping bags, 10 cents each in our beloved Republic.
I agree that we need to completely reassess our transportation infrastructure. Perhaps working with existing highways and replacing existing lanes with light rail systems or bike paths. The statement is bold but it holds some truth. Plenty of cities/nations outside the US have successfully made cars more obsolete every year while working around far older existing infrastructure.
