Seems fine, though the sweet spot between friction with the road and with the air is in the 40-50 mph range, as I understand it. Because the lifetime costs of cars are so high and difficult to quantify (my feeling is that shedding tires all over the land, and pollutants into the air, and mining the materials is not worth the benefits if we care about the survival and existence story of life on earth for the next thousands of years, at least), I’d rather go back to mostly using animal power (ourselves and other animals, and not using horseshoes or hard paved roads, and keeping communities small, and being okay with not having everything we want) along with maybe trains, and some aircraft, for emergencies. If we mostly moved under our own power, and had healthier relationships with the land, I’m guessing medevacs would be rare. I accept that the situation we’re in is a hyperobject. Mostly I’m feeling frustrated; seems like we’ve pulled out too many control rods.
