The hidden environmental costs of transitioning to electric vehicles - NPR
"I think that we need to think more expansively about mobility. Do we kind of stay with the status quo, or do we take this opportunity to say, yes, we absolutely need EVs, right? But we can also expand other transportation options - buses, light rail, commuter rail, streetcars, cycling, walking."

@greenhombre the most efficient means of reducing impact of commuting is not to commute at all. But here we are, remote work treated like a scourge by some employers?? Create incentives for those who free up real estate for housing instead of stagnant offices. Who take a load off an overloaded commuting system.
