    That’s less bad, that’s not fixing anything. There is no universe when using energy to move 1.5-3 tonne private vehicles around for transportation is sustainable. I’ve heard numbers typically in the 40-60% region for the lifetime energy use of electric vs ICE. That is not fixing any problem, that’s making the problem worse less quickly.

      Less bad is good, right?

      Obviously, stuff like better public transportation will be good
      Electric buses, trains etc

      Have been hearing about China’s solar adoption and them looking into thorium reactors.
      My country, India, seems to be looking more into solar too.

      I think it’s a correct direction. Though, the pace needs to be a bit faster
