Here's one:
Use sunlight for everything, get rid of 90% of private automobiles and reduce the amount of energy the global north uses by about half.
Stop funding fossil fuels and car infrastructure with taxpayer money and it'll happen on its own.

- AussieWog93 4y agoThere are cultural reasons for the lack of emphasis on bikes in Australia (namely the huge proportion of wankers amongst the cyclist community making it politically unpopular to create infrastructure for us).

- imtringued 4y agoE-bikes are good but the building configurations we call cities are no good.
- robomartin 4y ago> Here's one Just like everything else. Sounds great, until the physics test is applied. Then it’s in a range between “good try” and nonsense.
