And Sweden has a density of 23 while having lower carbon emissions than the EU average.
The US's problems include relatively heavy coal (30% still) and a heavy automobile culture (due to low density of cities, not the country)
- WhompingWindows 8y agoWe can't conclude the US's low density cities are entirely to blame for a heavy automobile culture. The auto companies are pumping out gas guzzlers by the millions, people are buying souped-up F-150's to drive solo to their office job, they're buying shiny Escalades to take their chihuhua to the groomer, it's not just about density. There's a real problem with the consumers themselves demanding these polluting products, with around 40% of the country thinking climate change is no big deal, and with the corporations all bowing down to this carbon culture.
