Pedestrian safety is a very big part of European car crash testing - some cars even have front / hood airbags that will deploy for pedestrians.

I’m curious what ICE vehicle you drive now that has a 600 mile range?

I think so, but nobody uses them other than people exploring remote in unplowed places. On regular roads theyre too inconvenient and make you go too slow. Slap on quality winter tires in November and you’re good to go with no more effort.

There is also an enormous amount of money tied up in old power, guaranteed profits for companies that run old plants and political games denying climate change and turning the population against renewables. Nobody wants to predict a future

In (most?all?) of BC winter tires are required by law, and salting the roads is illegal due to the horrific damage the run off does to the environment.

I just drove across ten US states and five Canadian provinces from the West to East Coast, shipped my Jeep to Europe by way of Iceland, then drove 100 miles through Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Driving on the freeways in those mainland

And this is exactly the problem we face now in so many aspects of life. If cell phones or microwaves or a hundred other things were harmful we would not find out, because of all the lobbying and armies of scientists paid to find and publish

Which is fine. Deleted trucks are already illegal, and soon enough you won’t be able to buy a new ICE vehicle. They will be gone in my lifetime.

You mean like the police in America? Or elementary and high school? Or fire brigades, interstate highways, border security or the thousands of other things you rely on every single day that are 100% socialism.

The luxury car tax is such a scam. There’s no luxury boat tax. No luxury plane tax, no luxury watch or diamond or pool or McMansion tax.

I know plenty of people doing exactly that in the Yukon. Head up and spend a few years in Whitehorse. You’ll meet good people who can teach you what you need to know. Changed my life for sure.

I’m walking the Camino in Spain. After A single day out in the wilderness the smell of traffic is terrible and very noticeable. Flying from my home in the Yukon to LAX is like landing in Mordor. The air is disgusting, the brown smudge, etc.

Spending a few months in Iceland it was really easy to see why they have so many gods and mythical beings in their history. The place is MAGICAL.

Every time this story comes up I ask. How did they light fire, and what vessels did they use to boil water? I ask this after years of adventure is the Yukon wilderness, where we play the game “if the canoe flipped and we lost everything, co
