Climate and environment
From: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars?
$2.00
The third chapter of Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars? asserts that deeply recommitting to public transit is a requirement for slowing climate catastrophe. The author demonstrates how each of the three revolutions in automobility discussed in chapter two fail on the climate front, highlighting the material intensiveness, energy use required, timing and affordability for electric cars. Then the chapter outlines the challenges and opportunities of public transit for climate action.
