    They might not be the solution to climate change, but they do help local pollution levels. Or at least they would if people would stop buying ginormous pedestrian-smasher trucks at a rate of 20:1 bev.

      Doesn’t stop the brake/tire dust issue, or the fact that it takes so many resources (and carbon waste) to keep churning out individual cars as well as all the pollution and wasted resources and environmental impact of roads and parking lots everywhere.

      they do help with local pollution levels

      Not where the resources needed to build them are being extracted, and thats the issue.
