Try driving a solar powered car.
Dunno if helium can be used in cars tho.
Solar powered grid charges the car when not in use
Laughs in electric train
Car bad, train good
I fucking hate stroads
Nah, car good, train better. I also hate stroads.
Me on my way gettin on train to go to the far grocery store in my non-walkable city. /s
I understand why people likes trains, but it's not the answer to every situation.
If the city is built ass backwards it would be a better investment to address that than start mining resources on the moon. Idk that's just me though.
Yup, use the train to go medium to long distances, use a bicycle or feet to go short to medium distances.
Actually, better than that, I'm not an expert! There are professionals whose jobs are to design those systems and could do better than I putting together a solution. However, more destruction of finite resources when there is easy access to an unlimited resource should be limited to final resorts.
I think corps prefer using finite resources to make customers depend on buying them. Imagine being able to recharge your car by what you produce with your solar panels on your roof: you will spend money only on the car itself and not on the fuel.
I now require people who offer me to try out a solar powered car to provide directions to said car, lest your comment be labeled a sarcastic cock-tease.
