Great, now let’s insulate our properties and stop using energy hog window A/C units! Let’s use dishwashers to reduce water demand! Let’s allow emergency vehicles to change the traffic lights to make our streets safer!
Lol, just kidding. None of that will ever happen. This state will do anything but solve simple, impactful issues.
Why do we always need to complain that something good isn’t good enough? Yes, they didn’t solve the world’s problems. They did make a nice step in the right direction.
Because living here it’s tiring seeing all the headlines about stuff like this while in the real world little is being done about problems that have been going on for much longer.
So you’re going to complain that the people who are actually doing something useful aren’t doing enough rather than doing something useful yourself. Seems a little hypocritical.
Complaining that something good isn’t good enough is certainly helpful. Maybe go find somewhere more appropriate to complain about all of the shitty stuff. Let people enjoy the small wins. There are few enough of them right now that spoiling them with doomerism just makes things worse for everyone.
Also; convert to roundabouts and you don’t need traffic lights at all. Traffic lights are expensive to buy and they use a fuck load of electricity. Also, fewer fatal accidents with roundabouts.
I agree with this in spirit but they’ve actually installed traffic lights at existing roundabouts because I assume the smartphone-obsessed drivers kept causing accidents.
Roundabouts really suck when they’re saturated, even worse than standard light-controlled intersections. That’s why there are still traffic lights controlling entry into roundabouts in high-volume cases.
Uncontrolled roundabouts work best at medium to low traffic volumes.
My friends have 2 mini split heat pumps that could not keep their 1600ft² cool. So they bought 2 $100 window units from home depot. Their energy use dropped $300/mo. Or at least, the energy equivalent. They’ve got solar and dont pay for their electricity.
The window units use less energy and keep their home cooler.

Right because I have so much power to change things as a fucking renter.

The magic of an inverter system only happens at lower load. If they’re undersized, they run full tilt at minimum efficiency.
