Recently I heard a councilperson here in Kansas City, MO talk about how these bigger vehicles that are replacing cars are also far more likely to kill a pedestrian or a cyclist in a collision, to say nothing of squirrels. I had never considered that. They're designed with little regard for what might be in their path.
Thanks for putting together this show, and stay safe out there!

Additional details on cars
I enjoyed your episode and appreciate you discussing cars on an HPR episode. I want to point out that your facts on electrics are inaccurate as well as some of the details about charging infrastructure.
I have never encountered evidence of laws forcing you to replace an electric battery before selling a car.
The battery chemistry you sited was Nickel Cadmium but that is not what they are using. They are using various lithium chemistries. Also, most people are not depleting their battery capacity on a daily basis and a 240v charging plug is more than adequate for most uses.
Thanks again for making a show!
