Recommendation
By repeating the mistakes of the past by simply replacing dirty technologies with less polluting alternatives, we miss out on the real promise of evolving into a carbon-neutral society. Electric vehicles are touted as a guilt-free choice to reach a zero-emission future, but the types of vehicles and how we incorporate them into our daily lives – or live without them – will play a big role in how much of an improvement they will be. On the Media podcast host Brooke Gladstone and tech expert Paris Marx explore how the current rise in the production of electric SUVs might not be the panacea for the challenges of climate change.
