I do not believe this will happen in my lifetime, perhaps not ever.
The automobile is essential for many people. No one should live in guilt about a situation they did not create, that is, a car-dependent society.
But I ask you: have you ever had to cut your bike ride short because of high smog levels? Have you ever had your lungs develop irritation from bicycling or walking in high ozone levels? (Ozone is odorless and colorless.) I suffered bronchitis-like sicknesses just from directing traffic after 7:00 p.m. on a summer's eve.
Is this the world we want to live in? Who is going to do something to try to change it?
:confused:
I disagree. Replacing cars
is the problem, or at least, making cars emission-free.
