Any particular aspect of this that strikes you as especially naive?
The hardest parts of this are probably “starting now” and “working together”, but that’s why this is titled “how to …” and it is not titled “things that are easy”
I posted a reply but it sort of went nowhere for some reason. Retype, sigh…:
Tell these people that the US needs 300.000.000 EVs among a shit ton of other stuff before the end of 2050, I’m sure they’ll love it. Everyone loves digging for common and rare earth minerals.
Nothing beautiful about data that represents some of the most grueling, back breaking capital-slavery in modern history. Where the motive is to make a single nation somewhat less disgusting emissions-wise. Instead of focusing those trillions of dollars on reductionist approaches.
I do feel like it was a huge mistake for cars to become as popular as they are: they consume so much energy, produce so many emissions, and take up so much space
And now modern living depends so much upon them that it’s an enormous endeavor to wind this back :S
Yep, it’d be a tragedy (adding to the tragedy of the pandemic) if we ignored this opportunity to really consider fundamental improvements in the way humans live

Don’t trust the salesman.

I’d say it’s an enormous discomfort and an opportunity to create a meaningful living for all - somewhat along the lines of what “antiwork” represents.
