Thanks for the comment, John. I agree. We need an energy transition AND we need an infrastructure transition. We need flexible resiliency against ever changing and intensifying effects of meteorological mayhem that will impact not just energy and transportation, but water, communications, urban development, and agriculture.

Thanks for the comment, John. I agree. We need an energy transition AND we need an infrastructure transition. We need flexible resiliency against ever changing and intensifying effects of meteorological mayhem that will impact not just energy and transportation, but water, communications, urban development, and agriculture. This isn't getting near enough attention especially relative to EVs.
Which, as you point out, are still just cars! They take insane amounts of energy to produce, own, and recycle will continue to pollute (tire and brake dust) and clog roadways despite being touted as being 'good for the environment'. Yes, they reduce local tailpipe emissions, require less maintenance, stem reliance on fossil fuels for propulsion, and are required for many to exist in our societies, but we must find more ways to reduce trips and addictions to overuse.
