"We don't need electric cars to mitigate the effects of rising global temperatures...The transition to EVs will not be quick enough or impactful enough to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, which is why a cultural change is necessary. Americans should use other modes of transportation, such as biking, walking or taking the subway, bus or train

"What the United States needs are policies that encourage a shift away from the use of automobiles and towards other, more efficient forms of transport."
