				<p><strong>Scenes From a Mass Transit<p>I was watching Ingmar Bergman's <a href="http://www.criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=229" rel="nofollow">Scenes From a Marriage (1973).<p>
The thing is -- this is a film about middle class people going around having affairs in the city and countryside. &nbsp; The thing is -- they used their cars a lot! &nbsp; They were always driving to meet their newest lovers in a "flat" or in a country house.<p>
I didn't see anyone get on a train at any time. &nbsp;So, what's with this European train fixation? &nbsp;If Swedes don't use the train, then who does?? &nbsp;<br>

				<p><strong>Motorvating In Eire<p><br>
Gristwits are always touting how "like in Europe they all use trains, mahnnn". &nbsp; No so any more.<p>
Europeans have seen the wisdom of abandoning smelly crowed flats and sprawling into the suburbs just like real Americans:<p>
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/world/europe/07cars.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/world/europe/07cars.htm ...<p>
No trains run to the new suburbs where hundreds of thousands of Dubliners now live, and the few buses going there overflow with people. So nearly everyone drives -- to work, to shop, to take their children to school -- in what seems like a constant smoggy, traffic jam. Since 1990, emissions from transportation in Ireland have risen about 140 percent, the most in Europe. But Ireland is not alone.<p>
Vehicular emissions are rising in nearly every European country, and across the globe. Because of increasing car and truck use, greenhouse-gas emissions are increasing even where pollution from industry is waning.<p>
The 23 percent growth in vehicular emissions in Europe since 1990 has "offset" the effect of cleaner factories, according to a recent report by the European Environment Agency. The growth has occurred despite the invention of far more environmentally friendly fuels and cars.</p></p></p></a></p></p></br></p></strong></p>

				<p><strong>Great! More coal burning</strong></p><p>Why are so-called environmentalists advocating more coal burning? With over half of all electricity in the U.S. coming from coal (the most CO2 intensive fuel), why would anyone want to increase grid demand with electric cars? We are going to need to get used to the notion that there is no free lunch and travel will increasingly mean a little sweat if we want a live planet for our grandchildren.</p>
