    It absolutely distracts from building good not car-centric infrastructure, almost by definition. The mindset that the only problem with car-centric world is that they emit prevents north america from developing better way of organizing the places people live in. Windmills or not, concrete sprawl where you need to have a personal car to go everywhere is bad

      First of all, that’s a totally separate issue.

      But secondly, we can still spend money on infrastructure upgrades to improve transit whole also supporting the switch to EVs. EVs for now, transit for future.

        Nope, doesn’t work like that. If you spend money on making your environment tailored to the car, you’re stuck with car-centric world. The infrastructure, the city, the human lives can only be car-centric or human-centric, when you do something that is good for one it hingers the other.
