If legislators, manufacturers and consumers knew this stuff (which barely pokes a dent in new vehicles), would we let go the idea that EVs make us sustainable? Would we shift our focus to keeping what we have in good repair, to celebrating people who share and use less? Would we redesign communities to make them walkable? Would we strengthen public transportation?
I have to celebrate my mechanic. He found a used smooth idler pulley at the junkyard, greased it and installed it in my 28-year-old car-- for $100.
