  • Completely agree, but it was at least a step in the “consume less” direction.

    Once you have kids in the US and you need to make a living outside of a major metropolitan area, you are forced to get a car, or risk not being able to feed and house your family. Electric cars at least reduce the energy consumed by travel to at least 1/3. And that energy can originate from a renewable source.

    So it does drastically help the situation.



  • I’ve always felt we need to make conspicuous consumption uncool.

    It was a wretched thing watching SUVs become the cool thing to have, and fast fashion is an ecological travesty. Most folks aren’t into my cool bicycle and thrifted threads tho

    I was excited to see electric cars gaining cool points for a bit, but Elon rubbed his musk all over it and seriously killed the vibe
