I live in the city and walk or bike everywhere. That’s how we get out of this. Not electric cars. Diesel busses and light rail.
- ericd 3y agoIt’s unlikely, since angriculture alone is >1/10, water heating, home heating, manufactured goods, logistics/shipping, steel, and concrete are all major sources. Pretty sure the average family’s direct energy consumption is less than half of their footprint. Passenger cars get a lot of attention, but they’re actually not a large fraction. Concrete alone is a larger source. But yeah, the suburban development plan is obviously terrible.
