Ending massive governmental subsidization of private motor vehicles would help even more.

Also the Globe will give you something like six months of introductory access for a dollar. Compare that to the cost of an uneducated and uninformed society.

Nice post but more helpful if FIRE rankings didn't judge campuses on such foggy mush as those that have "experienced a number of controversies" (gee, higher-profile institutions have more?), and then declares: "it is not surprising that American confidence in higher education is at a record low."

The guy being celebrated in that article is doing a lot, and thanks to him, but living in rural Vermont isn't nearly as planet-friendly as the image cultivators of that lifestyle would have you believe. It still requires a lot of carbon to get everything to and fro. That is essential to understand.

Respectfully disagree. Ending government subsidization of individual motor vehicles is a more fundamental metric. A world that's still dominated by individual motor vehicles, even if electric, will continue to cause a massive amount of needless destruction and cost.
