In sweeden you have the advantage that land can be purchased too for direct links. In the uk a big problem is its cramped and we have awful railways that bend through the country. trains don't go past 70mph and you have to change trains when going only 40miles or so. In some ways being sparser is better in the implementation stage. yes, but goods …

If even a fraction of the resources used to replace this fleet every 20 or so years was used to public transport there could be a train every 5mins that moves at 200mph. The car is still a nice idea, but in the future it should become a weekend tool. Much lighter much more efficient traffic problems in all cities will force that if oil does not. Yes true, but I …

But it's easy for us europeans to talk with excellent public transp. In USA and AUS it's almost nonexistent. also, i have a 1,5 hour busride to my job. It takes 1 hour to walk, 25 min to ride a bike and 10 min to drive. what would you prefer 6 am one rainy cold wintermorning? The car is going to be needed in the near future by many people. Specially families, Until the public/personal transportation is developed. I agree with public …

That is why it's important to look at country of origin. Swedish cars are produced with electricity from 50% hydro an 50% nuclear sources. American cars almost 100% oil and coal. Chinese and korean cars are probably the worst. I would prefer cars from iceland. 100% hydro and geothermal. zero pollution. Yes, cars take alot …

Cars take a lot fossiel fuel to manufacture. It takes over a decade to save more than what was spent on manufacture (its why a big 'peak oil' speaker drives a old cadilac!) Also the personal car in itself is a broken concept. The payload on a journey is only 85kg in a 1 tonne car. That is appalling about of weight your paying to move around for no reason. Hence public transport is the way. If you have to go personal it gonna have to be a scooter or a sleek 1 seater. Thats the catch 22. …
