    EVs → nearly as shitty as cars with an exhaust (+ introduces lithium problems & power plant emissions). Not even close to perfect. Merely calling them “imperfect” misses the point. They’re not even good.

    Public transport → significantly better than EVs, but still quite shitty on the environment.

    Bicycles (e-bikes) → significantly better than public transport (but demand lithium).

    Bicycles (push bikes) → nearly perfect.

    Walking → perfect (if you don’t fart). But ⅓ the efficiency of cycling.

      That’s the point, it’s not perfect at all, but it’s better, so let’s take that solution for now and work on the next problem

      Public transports can do a lot, but it can’t do everything, same for bikes and walking. If we start rejecting every progress because it’s not good enough then we won’t ever progress.
