Why would a new company increase traffic? Like people just have extra disposable income and love going out to drive when everyone else does?
If your argument is, someone who would have bought the car would instead switch to using rail. Then there is no place in the US that has heavy traffic that can also have a new railway built for under $1b.
Why not say that if you can’t build a railway system for 20$ then you should stick with the current system that is just so great?
Because you have to approach the two problems differently. If you want to support the expansion of railways, you’ll need political willpower.
But if you’re an individual who needs a vehicle, wouldn’t the best choice be the most efficient one available?
Using 1bn of gov money for car production isn’t political willpower?
And political willpower is already finally literally building new rail. Why take that money away and back into cars?
Also, the two issues; cars with or without solar panels, and solar panels on buildings are separate. And panels are ultra cheap.
So cars with solar panels are more efficient simply bcs there is more solar palens that way, regardless of your building having panels or not.
Every panel is a net positive, super effective or slightly less super effective ones.
And you are not putting any more or less panels on your house if you buy a car with or without the 200$ solar panels on/in it.
