The bad news is most people in CA are still buying gas-only vehicles despite knowing that climate change is real.

The good news is the trend is going in the right direction.

Any town council representative that promises to fight for "more parking" is basically promising to allocate more publicly subsidized street parking for overnight/long-term parking. Car culture demands to be publicly subsidized.

“Many of the largest tech companies (Apple being a notable outlier) are teaming up with oil majors to help them accelerate the location and extraction of fossil fuels. Google opened an oil and gas division just last year, for instance, and Microsoft has inked deals with giants like ExxonMobil and Chevron.“

“Amazon’s massive cloud operation appears to once again be getting dirtier, powered by a growing share of fossil fuels. AWS is then selling its fossil-fueled cloud to oil, gas, and coal companies, to help them better find and extract more fossil fuels.” https://gizmodo.com/amazon-is-aggressively-pursuing-big-oil-as-it-stalls-ou-1833875828
