Meaningless BS Howard. I realize that you are on a religious quest to banish all cars, but that is not a realistic quest or vision and you will ultimately fail if you remain so rigid. Seeking of realistic solutions based on sound science (including human behavioral psychology) is what will help the environment, not pie in the sky utopian dreams of every human on a bike. The future will almost certainly see renewables phased in and coal reduced in usage as electrical energy sources. The switchover to electric vehicles is the only possible way of reducing overall energy use and of giving the world vehicle fleet access to renewables. If you're going to fight that then you are shooting yourself in the foot.
