Horses are even more sustainable and renewable. And tasty if done right.

Yes but only if you run it competently.

I agree, but, this country, unfortunately, is built around cars now, and I certainly can’t walk to work as it would take hours, same with biking.

We need more public transportation, but we also need electric cars.

It's amazing how much it takes for some to reach the conclusion that systemic change is both necessary and requires... systemic change. As in systems changing. As in greater change than your individual decision to ride an EV or ICEV or public transit. Change that would make it exponentially more intuitive for you to choose the most sustainable one of those options.

Especially if mass transit is not feasible for you, this post is not to shame you or call on you to try and do it anyways. It's a recognition that riding mass transit is not feasible or intuitive for most people, and a call to make mass transit available to more people rather than investing all that time and energy into the wild goose chase of EV adoption.

The crying indian really did a number on us.

Yeah, the hope is that we transition from combustion engines to no cars.

I am even more ~~hostile to capitalism~~ sustainable, I use a bike.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

also a 2nd hand ICE car is more sustainable than a new EV

You are technically correct, but I think this fact is often used by new car purchasers to soften the blow: “Someone will buy my old car / this one when I’m done.” Actually committing to the implications of this fact is difficult.
