Ok, now what is causing it to happen? Is there any value in pointing out that it is happening, or should one look to the structures of society that make that kind of thing inevitable and repeatable in every facet of society?
Sounds good. In the meantime I'll be taking an electric train to a brewery that is currently a 2hr drive from me since I'm no longer slaving away so that MIC executives can build planes that don't fly, for a war that isn't going to happen.

All cars should cost 500k minimum and roads should stop being built, also cap all auto-industry salaries and annual shareholder payouts to 500k with the rest overflowing to the workers. Within 20years seeing a car in America will be rare, within 50years, we'll have solved climate change.
I'm running windows and my nordvpn still works. So maybe this article shouldn't even exist and the OP should lose all credibility when ti comes to anything technology related.
Why not an electric train? There is contiguous land between the two cities, and then you don't have to carry your fuel with you or build giant batteries out of rare earth minerals, while risking run-away shorts that will surely endanger everyone on board, and ensure the cargo is lost.
You get rid of cars and you stop designing society to accommodate the one edge case where someone lives 100miles away from a city that they have to commute by car to everyday for some reason.
Weird how anything that can possibly reduce fossil fuel usage is always too expensive, yet building pipelines, and north sea oil platforms, and shipping oil all over the world is free or the cost is not worth talking about.
