Decarbonizing Transportation

Here’s a meme that takes the migration to electric vehicles about as far out of context as one could imagine.

People in developed countries need transportation, and, since the extent of mass transit is limited, automobiles will be a necessary part of our lives for the foreseeable future.  Making these vehicles as environmentally friendly as possible is imperative if we want to have an organized civilization in place here 50 – 75 years hence.

There are elements of damage associated with our cars that we can’t control, among which are materials mining, road building, tire dust, and lethal accidents.

There is one we can control, and any honest and reasonably intelligent person understands that it’s by far the most important.
