It's strange to me because the progress we've been making towards electrification + renewables has been one of the few things still giving me hope for the future.

More than that, scary things get ingrained as wrong or offensive. As soon as something becomes a matter of right/wrong the human brain starts to draw lines to protect their identity and idea of 'self'.

I firmly believe that "change is scary" really is the core of the issue. Misinformation, confirmation bias, it all just reinforces this central problem.

I even catch myself thinking unreasonably about new topics sometimes, and can trace it back to "I don't want change", rather than sound arguments.

Also don't forget about the Proƒit$™ for the few.

Furthermore, don't know about charging; have bike paths and sandwiches here.

I worry people will think I'm being snarky here. I'm not.

It's why I'm always looking for 'em
