But is it a better world? Outside of dense city centers it isn‘t. It‘s less comfortable, far less. Today I quickly bought some things for breakfast. Got in the car in the garage, outside it was pouring. Got out 4 minutes later in the supermarket garage. I was back 15 minutes after leaving and there was absolutely no traffic at all. The car ride was nice and enjoyable. I wouldn‘t have walked this, I would rather have stayed hungry until lunch. Even if I could it would have taken at least half an hour. Sure, it took energy to produce that car, but that by itself doesn‘t mean it‘s worthwhile. It also takes energy to build houses. To live well. Anything takes energy. It‘s possible to make a point that we should use the minimum possible energy in life for various reasons. Fine. But this is a very different argument then.
