I know this is nitpicking but.. I'd say the biggest issue with electric car now is the pricing. What do you think poor people should do?

We should ride bicycles and public transit, and the government should be investing in rail and walkability for us

Exactly what I thought, we need less cars.

If you make a tax-deductible donation to your local transit authority (check your state if it's deductible) then the government is basically paying more for mass transportation than they had budgeted. Our taxes are one of our most powerful tools in the US for deciding what gets funded and nobody uses that tool. Likely because it's hard enough to stay fed than donate sums of cash to already-functioning institutions, but imagine if enough people just did this a little.

That's great advice for an american, but do you have any for australians like me?

Hold onto something tightly so you don't fall off the bottom of the globe!

They should throw their wooden shoes into the cogs of the windmills.
