A Carbon-Free Future Starts With Driving Less | Wayne Ting | TED
Can we use less energy from fossil fuels while also meeting our transportation needs? Enter shared electric micromobility: the transition away from dependence on cars and towards lightweight transport options like electric scooters, which release a fraction of the carbon emissions of conventional transport. Helping people get around on the world’s largest shared electric vehicles…

This isn’t the 1400s. People have family spread out geographically. My friends and closest family members live 500 miles away from me. The nearest grocery story is 9 miles away. I’m not going to be able to transport 50 pounds of groceries by scooter. My place of employment is 30 miles away and they are asking for more days commuting to and from the office. Pediatrician is 20 miles away. How do you travel to and from a pediatrician with an infant on a scooter? Also, not everybody wants to live in an urban environment.

Automobiles are about 15% of the human-caused carbon emissions. Trucks make up about 9%.
We need to lean into more efficient transport, for sure. For example, trains are super-efficient, and can be made to run off of electricity directly, or from just about any fuel easily.
Another 3.5% for all aviation.
Another 3.5% for all ships.

If I listen to people talk about climate change and I don’t hear the term “petrodollar” then I know these people don’t truly understand the problem.
Because climate change is a not a science problem, or an engineering problem, or a policy problem, or even a finance problem… it is a currency problem.
The worlds wealthy be it individuals, corporations, or governments have most of their assets in US dollars. The US dollar is backed by oil. It’s referred to as the “petrodollar”. Saudi Arabia will only accept US dollars for their oil. So if any country wants to buy Saudi oil they first have to go to a US bank and exchange their own currency for US dollars, inflating demand for dollars and thus it’s value. This is how the US dollar is “backed” by oil.
This started in 1971, it worked so well that the US dollar stayed the default global currency or “global reserve currency” even after we stopped backing the dollar with gold, i.e. the gold standard. So now the value of the dollar is determined by the worlds demand for oil because the rest of OPEC does the same.
This was a good thing at the time because it made the dollar a stable currency. Using it meant planning a long term budget was much easier, think the Weimar Republic.
This was long before climate change was well understood. Once climate change was better understood the worlds wealthy were not eager to do anything about it because if the world stopped needing oil, then the world would stop needing dollars and it’s value would drop and they would find themselves with a ton of currency that nobody wanted, i.e. they would be poor.
What makes things even worse is to keep the value of the dollar stable the US had to print more dollars as the global demand for oil grew. If the US didn’t do this the dollars value would have become unstable. A large increase in value can be just as bad and a large decrease. So there are more dollars around then there were back in 1971.
It’s gotten to the point now that if the world stops needing oil the value of the US dollar drops not only from lack of demand but also from a glut of supply.
Global warming will not truly be solved until the world, or rather the worlds elite, can agree on a common currency thats value is not determined by the worlds demand for oil, i.e. the petrodollar.
You might say what is required is a “global financial reset”, or a “second Bretton Woods”. Just so happens that the worlds wealthy are talking about just such a thing. You might have heard it’s about debt forgiveness. It is, but it is also about establishing a new default global currency.
Is it because they care about funding technology for fighting climate change? Possibly, but I think it has more to do with the fact that the US has sanctions on over 30 countries. Countries they would like to do business with but they can’t.
The way the global banking system is set up currently (SWIFT) is if you want to buy something internationally in US dollars, those dollars have to go through a US bank. Thus the US can stop any purchase once those dollars hit a US bank. Thus all this talk about a financial reset means that it appears that the global elite (or non-US and Saudi elite that is) are ready to move on from the petrodollar.
Once the worlds wealthy can decide on a new global reserve currency (and what it will be backed by like gold or block chain) they can start exchanging their dollars for it and that will allow them to invest in technology to fight climate change without destroying their wealth.

We need to end mixed use and multi-family zoning restrictions alongside ending building height restrictions so we can build denser housing and commercial areas where people can reasonably get to the things they want without a car. Also we need vastly more public transportation options so less people need to use cars on the regular. If you have problems with your house being too far away from everything for you to be able to survive without a car this is the root cause (at least for suburbs, truly rural areas like farming towns can embrace some more traditional rural village formats that centralize residences and shops to reduce their transportation needs but these generally aren’t actually a big problem in terms of car use unlike the suburbs and better electric vehicles would help curb their emissions) as there is no realistic way for anyone to make living convenient in those areas due to the restrictive zoning systems in use there. We have to make it easier for people to get approval to build and add on to their homes like we traditionally do as a species, where people would add whole extra levels and new dwellings to their property for their descendants to live in or to rent out to others, where people were allowed to convert parts of their homes into commercial spaces and workshops to run businesses catering to the public and their community. The sheer expense of moving to cities for those who want to are restricted by similar things as we artificially raise costs of improved urban density by these zoning restrictions as well as discriminating and even banning prefabricated construction techniques that actually lower the cost of housing for people. What we need are walkable cities and towns, ubiquitous public transit, and affordable housing to really tackle climate change on top of our green energy and agricultural transitions. Also no one should be allowed to prohibit you from installing a wind turbine, installing solar panels, growing trees, growing native plants, or raising food on their property, any HOA or Municipality attempting to prohibit this (barring instances where somebody is trying to grow something that is actively hazardous to the local ecosystem or install green energy sources incorrectly in such a way that is a proactive safety risk) should be immediately subject to Federal penalties for rights infringement and being counter to our goal of combatting climate change.

Thinking back on < 5 mile trips I took the last couple weeks. Trip 1: Went to my local supermarket to get Halloween candy. Couldn't avoid taking the car in case my local store didn't have Halloween candy, last year they didn't, which then started about a 20 mile drive before I found a store with candy and got home. Trip 2: Picking up pizza for dinner. Needed the car because carrying pizza on a bike or scooter is difficult to impossible. Trip 3: Attending a non-profit meeting. Needed the car because I had agreed to pick up a not-too-well neighbor who wanted to attend as well. So, 3 short drives, each of them unfortunately requiring the car.

FINALLY I’ve been saying this since the start of the pandemic! I noticed once we went on lockdown that the air got insanely cleaner for the week that next to no one was driving. Everyone all on their high horse about how the meat industry is causing all the carbon emissions to advocate for their veganism in any way they can without looking at the facts.
These are the facts.
Humans have been farming livestock for 10,000 years longer than they’ve been driving vehicles. The rise in carbon emissions and the greenhouse effect started with the industrial revolution which also happened to bring thousands of gas-powered cars onto the road and spike that tremendously. It has literally nothing to do with the food we eat and everything to do with the luxury people assume is a necessity called “driving a personal vehicle”.
