No it fucking isn’t. I drive 500-1000 miles a year. It’s a miniscule portion of overall energy usage. Far less than cooling homes, having 6 children to feed, air travel, eating meat every day of the week. But since everyone has decided let’s blame cars instead of taking a usage based approach you get ignorant generalizations made by people such as yourself.
You are saying driving cars for fun is not bad
because eating too much meat is bad? Weird argument. I am not blaming cars, I blame people like yourself for our car-centric world. You are blind for the massive negative effect cars have on our day to day life. And a usage based approach is not possible anymore because the car industry has nearly killed every alternative.
But I have still hope that more and more people look around and see the damage this car-centric behaviour is causing. Maybe even you some day. Took me a lot of time as well.
