But how will we create astronomical profit margins for the car industry with bicycles?

Walking through Dublin is so depressing. Our (few) pedestrianised streets see tons of footfall, people enjoying themselves. The other 98% is just car choked streets where people rush as fast as they can to their destination.

We're an old city, with cramped streets. Bikes would be so much more sensible than trying to squeeze another lane of traffic in at the expense of a walkable, clean, healthy city. But car owners, and car park owners get loud whenever they try.

Yeah, replacing the energy source used by cars ain’t going to fix shit.
