Highway expansions and road widening
How America (Australia) Can Break Its Highway Addiction"After a century of rampant roadbuilding, the U.S. highway network is ubiquitous, dominating the American landscape in bucolic rural settings as well as dense urban ones. Rather than being a tool for mobility, it has become a monument to an auto-centric lifestyle that fouls the air and depletes the public coffers. Neither the country nor the planet can afford to keep expanding it."
"At the federal level, even asking questions about the collective climate impact of highway building appears verboten."

Tangled up in oil in Petrotopia
Imagine life on an Island that has to import 91% of fuel from overseas.
And the entire matrix of the place has been set up for oil dependency a century ago.Without a car there is no mobility (in Petrotopia)
Without a car one can't get stuff (made /transported by fossil fuels)
Without a car one can't get to work or other places
Without a car one can't drop off the kids
Without a car one can't empty the dogs
Without a car one can't go for a walk
Without a car /mower one can't do the endless lawns
Without a car/ boat/ plane one can't re-create or have a holidayAustralia is reliant on imports for around 91% of fuel consumption.

Declining reading rates in Australia
Australians are reading less than other countries. They are buying and reading fewer books than people in many other countries. Why?
Car dependency, sprawling suburbia and a public transport desert do not allow for a culture of reading (while commuting).

Despite the widespread harm caused by #cars and #automobility, governments, corporations, and individuals continue to facilitate it by expanding roads, manufacturing larger vehicles, and subsidising parking, electric cars, and resource extraction.
One in 34 deaths are caused by cars and automobility with 1 670 000 deaths per year.
Cars and automobility have killed 60–80 million people since their invention. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0966692324000267

The tyranny of automobility and sprawl
While the Bellingen /Gleniffer area is transitioning from an ‘idyllic tourist town’ into a ‘normal Aussie suburb’ (of Coffs Harbour), road congestion gets everyone stuck in traffic.
Car dependent motorists in their SUVs and bloated oversized trucks demand more and wider roads, larger car parking and a right to pothole-free roads for their 'sports utility vehicles’.
Extreme commuting for the necessaries of life are conducted in big private vehicles powered by fossil fuel. An aggregate of ugly big-box stores (large format retail, Coffs) with hostile giant car parks deliver what consumers desire. These consumption hubs are mostly inaccessible to pedestrians and can be dangerous ‘non-places’ (Marc Augé).
The mobility design of old school traffic engineers responds to the sprawling expansion with more of the same: more roads, wider roads and bypassing the last bypass. They call it ‘upgrades’.
As the latest $2.2 billion highway or forest road ‘upgrade/s’ are blasting their way through the landscape, they are silent about the ‘public bads’: the destroyed biodiversity habitat, the downgraded neighbourhoods, the violence and the polluted biosphere.
The ‘normality’ of automobility, or the 'car in the head' in petromodernity together with regulatory inertia make a transition to alternative land uses, energy systems, mobilities and ways of being a challenge.

Transport within earth system boundaries
"A sustainable mobility and transport system requires assessment of its impacts on climate, land, water, aerosols, amongst others, to ensure that it operates within safe and just boundaries."
Within a finite ecospace "transport (road, rail, air, water) using fossil fuels needs to be phased out as soon as possible to avoid too much of a transgression of the 1.5 °C target."

Recycling toxic car tyres through the body and the environment
When tyres are used, tiny particles of rubber are released and accumulate on road surfaces. These particles can be washed away by rainwater into storm drains, ultimately ending up in nearby water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.The particles contribute to a range of negative health impacts including heart, lung, developmental, reproductive, and cancer outcomes.

@cstross @jason0x21 @quixoticgeek You're not saying this, but please don't make the next reasoning that this means all anti-EV sentiment is directly or indirectly caused by oil companies. There's still a case to be made against #automobility in general, and EV is currently the newest attempt at saving automobility.

I knew #cars were out of #control. People are questioning #automobility, letting cars be #mobile in new ways, for many years by now. Thanks @theguardianrss for pointing this out.

A global review of automobility's harm to people and the environmentAbstract
"Despite the widespread harm caused by cars and automobility, governments, corporations, and individuals continue to facilitate it by expanding roads, manufacturing larger vehicles, and subsidising parking, electric cars, and resource extraction. This literature review synthesises the negative consequences of automobility, or car harm, which we have grouped into four categories:
violence,
ill health,
social injustice, and
environmental damage.""We find that, since their invention, cars and automobility have killed 60–80 million people and injured at least 2 billion. Currently, 1 in 34 deaths are caused by automobility."
"Cars have exacerbated social inequities and damaged ecosystems in every global region, including in remote car-free places. While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it. Slowing automobility's violence and pollution will be impracticable without the replacement of policies that encourage car harm with policies that reduce it. To that end, the paper briefly summarises interventions that are ready for implementation."

BMW has developed the 5 Series to accommodate internal combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric drivetrains.
It's made the platform wildly expensive to develop and also means that the new 5er has none of the packaging benefits that one might expect from a EV.

Electrification has massive cost implications for automakers.
But we never expected them to hit *this* hard.
The new BMW 5 Series and its electric twin, the i5, has had cost stripped out from the most obvious places is and is much the worse for it.
Will consumers buy it?
Hear *all* our thoughts on the new mid-size Beemer in the latest episode of Looking Out - The Podcast.

Planning for Reduced #Emissions from #RoadConstruction
"The construction sector accounts for about one-quarter of global carbon dioxide #emissions. The main contributing factors are manufacture of carbon-intense structural materials, such as steel and cement, and heavy transport needed to bring materials on site. Many lifecycle assessments have evaluated the #CarbonFootprint of road construction or elements of it. But few studies have taken a comprehensive view of options to reduce #GHG emissions along the entire road #construction #SupplyChain".
