But cars require roads.
Road infrastructure gobbles up gigantic quantities of steel cement and , indirectly, coal.
Cement works use any fuel - oil, gas, household waste. Old tyres in particular are very popular.
But on a global scale they burn mainly coal (70% of their fuel acc to the IEA, 90% acc to cement manufactures.
This is handy stuff—especially if you're thinking about buying a car! (3/3)
Mystérieuse épidémie d'incendies de Tesla à Niort. Pour le moment, un seul suspect entendu par la police, un septuagénaire qui a rayé deux voitures de la marque américaine sur un parking. Raison invoquée: il n’aime pas Elon Musk. Tout simplement.

Meanwhile in Wales, evidence is mounting (confirming) that 20mph speed limits reduce deaths on the roads.
As Lee Waters (ex-Welsh Transport Minister) point out: 'There is still this idea that 70 or so road deaths a year in Wales is acceptable. But we would never accept 70 deaths a year on the ferry to Ireland, or on buses'.. Indeed!
And it not an unpopular policy (except among cultural warriors trying to claim its an imposition on 'drivers' rights'.
