Especially frustrating when considering that decarbonising a large part of transportation is easy, but boring: it's trains, light rail, it's cycling infrastructure. Not as sexy as futuristic energy sources, but it's what will save us in this sector: viable alternatives to the horrendously inefficient automobile

This is not to mention everything else. The immense death toll directly (crashes) and indirectly (pollution, particulates, etc). The waste of space in cities. The waste of time in traffic that is unfixable if everyone is driving in an individual car. Etc etc. I wish people would stop trying to save the auto industry and start looking at the root of the problem.
