Nope, not anti-cars. More distressed at some of the disconnects in our
culture. Don't you think it takes a certain form of disconnection, of
avoiding putting two and together, to have, say, a bumper sticker
saying 'Keep Tahoe Blue' on the back of a Lincoln SUV with a ski rack
on top?
Cars are amazing- the ability to travel such distances comfortably.
There's no putting that genie back in the bottle for good reasons.
That doesn't make the activity of driving a car immune from thought
about its implications.

accidents?

Actually, electricity generation doesn't have to be unsustainable.
That's just the choice that's been made so far. Like autos, I can't
imagine humanity going backwards to a non-electric life, at least not
without a huge struggle.
