The NOW problem is to invest in public transit.

EVs aren't going to help much. It's still just a big pile of plastics and petroleum based lube and a whole lot of precious metals being mined by companies that produce a lot of pollution in countries with shady human rights.

Why should I have to pay for transit that I don't use?
