Some brilliant old time philosopher said that wars and pestilence keep population controlled. We have had our share of disease lately and Russia is trying its best to start an expanding war. And without Ukrainian wheat, many in Africa will die.

If someone could wave a magic wand and world population not increase or decrease, then we would NOT need EVs as badly as we do. And its just barbaric and neanderthal-like that we are NOT using electric riding lawnmowers. Where is the Elon Musk of electric lawn equipment????????
Waterways not really good in the 1950's. Companies like GE north of NYC polluted the hudson river to the extent all fish in the river died. For that matter air quality not so great than either. Coal was used in huge quantities and scrubbers were not around.
