I mean, it is? Like every transportation, it is good, but depend on situation and need, the issue is people who think car is the only solution. Actual urbanist do agree on that, and people who actually do ground work know there is a fine balance you need to have in order to move the direction toward better city, simply hating on car will get you nowhere, or worst, get bigger pushback from carbrain.
There's this huge issue about c/fuckcars, people tend to treat the name literally. Like, look at the side bar, the description even say what this community is about.
It's not a good idea to power your home with a diesel generator, or people would do that. It's in fact a very bad idea, especially as compared to the cost and fuel efficiency that the grid manages. Likewise, it's not a good idea to power your car with a tiny, mobile fossil fuel power plant, for all the same reasons.
OP said car, not ICE car. OP is talking about mass transit vs private vehicle, and is using grid electricity vs personal generator as an example. Unfortunately it's not as an equivalent as OP think it is.
Agreed. FuckCars is 95% correct. The last 5% tends to be people who don't know anything about cars beyond "trucks are too big" arguing about cars.
