Transport is now our second biggest emitter with too little too late changes. When real estate is in crisis for people, we waste 50% of urban space dedicated to cars(Dallas and Houston 70%)!!
And this doesn’t even mention huge $ for petrol/diesel imports and we’re only country in OECD without emission regulation for vehicles, so new cars here are thirstier, dirtier and slower thanks to Howard-Costello Economic Rationalism!!
