  Which is a total nonstarter and dead on arrival. Focus needs to be elsewhere (like nuclear)

    Could be both.. My power usage today is way less than half what it was 20 years ago. With remote working, my travel consumption is way way down. Food delivery has all but stopped my need to ever get in my car. I mean it's not the end solution, but it's not a non-starter Nuclear though. 100%

      Works for those that can work from home. Lots of people can't though.

      > Food delivery has all but stopped my need to ever get in my car. Is it better though? Depends on your car, but someone on a scooter loitering, then going to a restaurant/store for you, and then to your home, and then the same thing again, is drastically less efficient than you doing a round-trip.

        Ah.. I mean groceries. I never "order in".. Can't be bothered.
