Relax dude. The race occurs once a year on a Saturday and most road closures are done by 10 am.

Regardless of whether this system you propose is feasible or not, the probability of it coming to fruition is literally zero. Meanwhile, there’s clear empirical evidence that growth can be decoupled from emissions, and it’s the direction that the public and policymakers support.

Environmental advocates have pushed for degrowth since the 70s and its both a terrible political message, and unsuccessful in achieving our climate and security goals. We need to further densify our cities and invest massively in/remove existing barriers to zero/low carbon energy sources (renewables/nuclear/geothermal), public transit, and multi family housing.

It would be great if Bernie supported advancing nuclear, but he’s adamantly opposed, and even called for phasing it out entirely in his presidential campaign.
