Amen! I would add drivers. Children, pedestrians, bicyclists, roller bladers, skateboarders and all other vulnerable (soft shell) users have a right to safety.
Street safety is *not* a shared responsibility.
Rather, it's a responsibility borne by those who have the greatest power to make streets safer: Car companies, policymakers, and road designers.
Stop shifting blame on those walking, biking, and driving.

The $7,500 EV tax credit is gone, but each gas car still gets $20k+ in subsidies
Fossil fuels benefit from $760 billion in direct and indirect subsidies in the US per year. How is that a "free market"?

Clean energy = cheap energy
Trump has problems with reality, clean energy is cheap energy. That means addressing global warming also reduces costs, as in increases affordability cepr.net/publications...
Slowing Global Warming Does Address Affordability
Solar, wind, and batteries are now the cheapest energy, but Trump’s fossil fuel agenda could raise US power costs.

Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills.
This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.

ALL ABOARD? A Nebraska state senator is traveling the state soon to seek public input on the possibility of the Legislature proposing to improve passenger rail service.

The unhinging of USA thanks to online lies
The Emory shooter was a regular visitor to right-wing social media accounts which persuaded him that the Covid-19 vaccine was to blame for all his personal medical problems. So he took his gun to shoot up the CDC, killing a policeman in the process.

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind.

Truth!
"To our untrained eye, a corn field looks more 'natural' than an array of solar panels. But a corn field is a biological desert ... Put up some solar panels, and add some plants that only need to be mowed once a year or so (sometimes with sheep) and you see an explosion of life."
