I'm assuming they aren't counting mass transit as transportation because there is no link between electricity and transportation. As a resident of NYC the bulk of my transportation is powered by electricity. All of the subways, buses, and commuter rail are electric.

- dredmorbius 9y agoThat's a paradox of efficient or effective practices: they can simply fall out of measurements. GDP is notorious for this.
