> For example, before AC, electrification required 1000x more wire than it does now. Streets were covered in poles and electrical wire. What do you mean "before AC"? AC was invented more than 100 years ago. The wires are still there. The power companies just tend to bury them underground nowadays. Out of sight, out of mind. In any case, what does this have to do with global warming? > Cars produced far more and worse pollution. The change is due to government regulation of emissions. Good luck getting the auto manufacturers to give a crap on their own. Even EVs are heavily subsidized by government funds. Besides, the primary cause of global warming is manufacturing, not auto emissions, which is why global warming hasn't stopped despite an improved emissions situation. And it's also why accelerationism is not a solution.
