> You can live in a well-insulated fully electric home powered by renewable energy and have most things you need within a walk, bike, or public transport ride away, _OR_ use an electric car for the things that aren't. For this to be the most effective it really needs to be deployed somewhere like India. How are they coming along with that? | ||

They have tons of people using small vehicles, bicycles and public transport. Unfortunately they aren't following China in mass rollout of solar photovoltaic; 90% of their energy consumption is fossil fuels: https://ourworldindata.org/profile/energy/india USA is at 80%, which isn't much better, but at least trending down: https://ourworldindata.org/profile/energy/united-states China is also at 80%, but trending down far steeper: | ||
