Air quality can certainly be impacted by density, but neighbourhoods that aren’t car dependent promote exercise by giving people the ability to lak or bike wehn going out instead of driving (which can also help the overall air quality).

The vast majority of those subsidies (rebates, sales tax exemption, government procurement of EVs) you linked don’t seem like they would apply to exported vehicles. This suggests exports would indeed be very price competitive, wouldn’t it?

This sounds like you’re describing “The Handmaid’s Tale”, which is not what this thread is about.

The US Supreme Court then reversed the Ninth Circuit ruling. You’re quoting the background that gives context to the case in the lixned article.

It works pretty well, and that was without customising the controls. You definitely feel the limitations when doing some more complicated things like wire layouts for circuits, but it can be done. When I later played the Exotic Industries mod, then it felt like it wasn’t quite enough (configuring radial menus helped though).

I played a whole run of the base game without mods on my Steam Deck in handheld mode and found it just fine. It uses the extra buttons on the back quite effectively.
