But cars require roads.
Road infrastructure gobbles up gigantic quantities of steel cement and , indirectly, coal.
Cement works use any fuel - oil, gas, household waste. Old tyres in particular are very popular.
But on a global scale they burn mainly coal (70% of their fuel acc to the IEA, 90% acc to cement manufactures.
This is handy stuff—especially if you're thinking about buying a car! (3/3)

Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. Und wir machen weiter mit unserer Serie an Klimaschritten.
Spürst du auch, wie der Frühling kommt? Die Blumen sprießen, die Sonne scheint - der perfekte Zeitpunkt, um das Fahrrad abzustauben und nicht nur für den Sonntagsausflug, sondern auch für den Alltag einzusetzen. Oder einfach mehr zu Fuß zu gehen. Deshalb bleiben wir diese Woche noch bei deinem eigenen CO2-Fußabdruck in Sachen Mobilität – und bei der Frage, wie du die Königsdisziplin der Alltagsmobilität auch ohne Auto bewältigen kannst: das Einkaufen!
Ohne Auto einkaufen? Muss das sein? Nein. Muss nicht. Geht aber.
In unseren Klimaschritten geht es immer darum, einfach mal was Neues auszuprobieren. Diesmal möchten wir dich ermutigen, Einkäufe, die du sonst mit dem Auto erledigst, mal anders zu erledigen. Vielleicht reicht ein dicker Rucksack? Eine Fahrradtasche? Vielleicht geht ihr zu zweit einkaufen, um mehr transportieren zu können? Oder du sparst Fahrten, indem du dich mit den Nachbar*innen zusammentust?
Probier es einfach mal aus. Direkt heute, für das frische Frühlingsgemüse. Oder überleg dir, wie du den großen Wochenendeinkauf ohne Auto gestalten kannst. Deiner Kreativität sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. Und wenn du Ideen brauchst: Im Artikel findest du jede Menge Tipps, wie du das in der Praxis umsetzen kannst. Vielleicht kommt ja eine neue Gewohnheit dabei heraus?
Und wenn du es ausprobierst – oder ohnehin schon länger so umsetzt –, teile gerne deine Erfahrungen mit uns. Vielleicht hast du ja noch ganz andere Ideen für die Umsetzung? Lasst uns drüber reden!
Los geht’s!

The roll-out of 20mph limits in Wales is leading to reduced insurance premiums as the value of claims falls which is great news for motorists, as well as those passionate about reducing the costs of road casualties.
Yes the article is from last June - but the point remains the same.

Transport for London caves to #ASLEF pressure and BANS non-folding electric bikes on any tube services, Overground, Elizabeth Line and DLR services.
There is so much to unpack here, but again the reputable bike shop standard electric bike is thrown under the bus down to issues entirely unrelated. Conversion kits that do not meet standards do not automatically make an e-bike!

I was surprised to see it announced today that Chiltern will be running services on the first leg of EWR. Not because it is surprising in the slightest, but rather because it has been such common knowledge for so long…

Sail across from the UK to France in the SailLink sailing ferry!
It apparently starts this week.
I think if it is successful they should commission a larger purpose built sailing ferry.

@FediThing Here's the numbers from that article:
"The Texas-based electric carmaker sold less than 16,000 vehicles across Europe last month, down 44% on average across 25 countries in the EU, the UK, Norway and Switzerland, according to data compiled by the research platform Jato Dynamics.
"Tesla’s market share fell to 9.6% last month, the lowest it has registered in February for five years. In January, its sales across Europe fell 45%, from 18,161 in 2024 to 9,945."
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/24/tesla-sales-eu-slump-elon-musks-donald-trump-byd
And just to clarify, that appears to be less than 10% of the EV market:
"Tesla commanded 1.8% of the total [car] market and 10.3% of the BEV market in February, down from 2.8% and 21.6% respectively last year.
"It sold fewer than 17,000 cars in the European Union, Britain and European Free Trade Association countries, compared to over 28,000 in the same month in 2024."
And the impact is likely to be a triple-whammy, given carbon credits are a major source of Tesla's profits: https://social.vivaldi.net/@ajsadauskas/114217003220367536
