But if you zoom out dont you think coal gave rise to gasoline that gave rise to mass adoption of transport that gave rise to the profitable electric engine that will give in maybe 100 years a possibly sustainable, fast and inflated individual transport system?
Cause we could adopt your attitude and stay on horses, or we can gamble it and progress.
- globular-toast 5y agoMy "attitude" is merely that sustainability needs to be a primary concern and a prerequisite for any advancements. It's so easy to sit back and say technology will solve the problem in 100 years, long after you're dead. Bicycles are an example of sustainable individual transport that improves on horses. But they've been driven off the roads by increasingly fast and heavy cars. That's what happens if you just let the market decide. The market is blind to sustainability.
