    That’s a lot of effort to solve a problem that could be severely dented by pursuing policies that take cars off the road and hold corporations responsible for the environment.

      Yeah I think that’s pretty obvious. The problem is that we as citizens can’t really seem to make that happen. A lot are trying and making a lot of noise and yet the politicians and corporations are barreling on down the road. All I’m saying is that if I’m a scientist who has an idea that might help buy time for our species, it might be worth pursuing because I can’t just go snap my fingers and make every city build usable public transportation.
