No federal e-bike rebate in the new Congressional package. So you can get $7500 for buying an electric SUV, but 0 for buying an e-bike/e-cargo bike that pollutes a fraction as much (and poses virtually no risk of killing someone in a crash). I do not understand the logic here.

Can high-speed rail make you happier? "Yes," according to this new paper.

Lithium is essential for batteries, and we don't have enough of it. Look how much goes toward "Passenger EVs". Then consider that a Hummer EV's battery weighs ~3,000 lb, equal to 3 Chevy Bolt batteries or ~380 e-bike batteries. Folks, what are we doing?

A new NY state bill would require those caught speeding 6+ times to install a device that prevents their car from going 5 mph above the speed limit. Seems like a no-brainer. Anyone with 6+ speeding tickets is a serious threat to public safety.

I see some people think Norway is reducing EV subsidies bc EVs are already so popular there. Nope. Norwegian transport minister: “We must make it more attractive to travel by public transport, cycle, and walk.”

I'm baffled by those who believe that a thing is valuable only if everyone, everywhere can use it all the time.

We can't say it enough: When a city builds sidewalks and bike lanes, residents become more physically active -- i.e., healthier.

Why are automakers allowed to sell cars that go over 120 mph? The highest speed limit anywhere in the US is 85 mph.

Unreal video from Fairfax County Police. Officer was doing a traffic stop near Fairfax when FCPD says a 17 yr old driving a BMW M3 over 120 mph lost control & slammed into the pulled over car. It’s a miracle but no one involved was seriously hurt. Turn the sound up to hear it.
