I can’t read that article without being logged in but, based on your username, I’m guessing it says it’s a fuel trap?

I will say, this video from Climate Town was pretty eye opening for me on the topic of natural gas today: https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw?si=TYax0lIF3CZsPPjx

Ideally we would be able to keep the benefit of quieter streets and parking lots though. Maybe there’s no getting around it

More pedestrians are injured in Great Britain by petrol and diesel cars than by electric cars, but compared with petrol and diesel cars, electric cars pose a greater risk to pedestrians and the risk is greater in urban environments.

I don’t understand this statement. More pedestrians are injured by gas cars but electric cars are more dangerous?

One plausible explanation for our results is that background ambient noise levels differ between urban and rural areas, causing electric vehicles to be less audible to pedestrians in urban areas. Such differences may impact on safety because pedestrians usually hear traffic approaching and take care to avoid any collision, which is more difficult if they do not hear electric vehicles.

This makes some sense. My car is just a hybrid but plenty of times I’ve had people just slowly walking in front of me in a parking lot. They can’t easily hear my car at that lower speed as far as I can tell. And full electric would be even quieter.

It’s interesting though. No easy solution is immediately coming to me, other than pedestrians getting more and more used to cars not making any sound.

I’ve been pretty happy with mint mobile the past few years. 5gb for $15 per month if paid a year up front

What a strange title. Immediately biases the reader before any actual information is given about the change

I’ve had my Roku disconnected from the Internet for a while now. I used to use an Amazon Fire stick, and currently use a Google chromecast

When our kid was younger I heard him say “Dad, I love you” from the car backseat.

I said “I love you too buddy”

Then my kid said “NO Dad, three buses!”

So now I get 🚌🚌🚌 from my wife every so often
