I am wondering what the impact would be if we banned all sporting and entertaining events. The traffic congestion is just terrible. Like a CO2 farm. This could also be said about shopping areas and movie theatres. Come to think of it toll booths often have congestion.
So, if the answer was electric cars it would be easy. Except power plants generate emissions when they produce electricity. So obviously wind and solar come to mind.
So maybe , we just need to stop people gathering for shopping and entertainment until we are powered by wind and solar.
A little drastic. I’d rather invest more in public transit to get cars off the road. Besides, who the hell likes sitting in traffic when trying to get home from a game ? I’m lucky to live in a place where I don’t have to do that.
Yeah, the el train is great. This is the ideal transit - where it doesn’t have to compete against other traffic or deal with stoplights on the ground.
With modern home entertainment tech, the comfort of one’s own couch, the cost of going to games, and the security and hassle, huge sports events won’t be banned, they’ll just go away. I think sports stadiums of the future will be smaller in general.
