    I mean, if we’re in the sci fi timeline where fusion is a developed technology to the point where energy is effectively free with no env impact, then we can still do a lot to avoid that. Cars don’t need huge batteries when your roads are powered, etc.

      Your… roads are powered?

      Via what, a third rail, that can electrocute anyone who touches it, does ‘funny stuff’ in snow or rain or ice?

      Every road segment has a… gigantic cellphone style wireless charger?

      That sure wont be a nightmare to maintain.

      … Cars somehow become maglev trains?

      What are you talking about?
