#TESLA NEWS: New York City Comptroller Brad Lander Files Letter to #TSLA Shareholders with #SEC: The Board's Failure to Curtail the CEO Jeopardizes Tesla’s Brand, so "we urge you to vote against the reelection of Kimbal Musk and James Murdoch and against the ratification of the #Musk 2018 Pay Package."
James Murdoch is a #climatedenial promoter. He is a billionaire's buddy on a Board that is totally captive to Musk's fantasies. That's no way to make money!
I'm having a hard time believing, not that a #transportation agency would come up with a plan that was to sweep the broken glass and gravel off of the sidewalks and leave it in the bike lanes for a few days before sweeping it up, just that it wasn't done with intentional malice or disdain toward people on bikes. (months after it snowed and they graveled everything while plowing the snow onto the sidewalks) #BarburBlvd#pdxBikes#Portland#BikeTooter#ClimateDenial#CarSupremacy#ODOTGTFOpdx
and yes, that does look like an Oregon PW plate on the back of that pickup, so yes they should have one on the front, $115 fine. But sure, we'll just "share the road" with people in 6000lb missles and expect that they're paying attention and following the rules. #DriverAccountability
"The pro-Trump Epoch Times has run hundreds of anti-climate social media adverts in Europe since the beginning of 2024 that have been seen millions of times.
Many of these adverts have explicitly questioned the contribution of carbon dioxide (CO2) to climate change."
An interesting takeaway from the English Local Elections was that candidates supporting Net Zero and stronger environmental policies did better than the pro mass motoring and climate denial/delay candidates.
It is odd that so much of the media don't want to report this, could it possibly have anything to do with the £2bn a year that the motor industry spends on advertising?
hundreds of millions of dollars of federal "investment" going to freeway overpasses and seven-lane car-centric intersections with painted bike lanes are not "reconnecting communities". You're just putting a veneer of modernity on the wall of cars that separates kids and other non-drivers from independence, keeping the vast majority of people enslaved to #motoNormativity. #ClimateDenial#transportation#carSupremacy#ODOTGTFOpdx#legalizeBikes
The idea that you can get #CompleteStreets by giving money to the highway department is a complete failure. It's 2024 and ODOT is rebuilding #stroads with curb-tight sidewalks and painted bike lanes that run between a right turn lane and thru traffic, posted speed: 45mph. The focus needs to be on scrapping-together and then incrementally improving a connected low-stress bikeway network throughout the metro region, not repaving and updating disjoint segments to 1990's designs.
#PBOT has a problem where they all spend effort shuffling around projects trying to catch potential funding sources falling from the sky and then don't really do basic things on the ground about what it's like to ride a bike in this city. #Portland#pdxBikes#Vision60or70something#ClimateDenial
@tk what says they can't drop some asphalt on the street and make a raised crosswalk across every offramp? This thing where we accommodate as much car traffic as we see and leave room for a little extra 🙃 is not working.
final day to provide feedback about the 82nd Ave Major Maintenance Project. #PBOT’s current plans do not include improvements to a majority of sidewalks or any accommodations for people riding #pdxBikes along #SE82nd at all, no #BusLanes for the bus line with the highest ridership in #Oregon??
@voiceofunreason what do you do when 9th runs into a park and weren't there more hills there? That whole concept of a project was destroyed by some (driver) ted's donor's thumb on a scale
Red state attempts to tell city what to do / not do. This is the kind of delay tactics that is the current brand of #ClimateDenial. Helped by #CarBrain that says bus riders are undeserving.
" The bill targeted Indianapolis and could have scuttled over one hundred million dollars in federal funds. Specifically, the bill put a one year moratorium on dedicated lanes deemed essential for the Blue Line while a one year study could be conducted on their effectiveness."
But the delay tactic has been foiled, and now #Indianapolis is getting a third line in its bus rapid transit system. BRT means that buses get a dedicated lane (so they don't get stuck in car traffic). #CarBrain, which believes it owns the entire street, hates that.
"The Blue Line rapid transit system has been recommended to receive roughly $140 million in support from the federal government."
