Ebikes are awesome but so are cars and even when self driving
electric cars replace the
costs of ownership and reduce pollution, there will still be
enormous health and social value to cycling... and why not have an assisted cycle?
APS, like the vast majority of fossil - fueled
electric utilities, refuses to recognize the
enormous costs of pollution to public health (17 - 27 cents / kWh for coal according to Dr. Paul Epstein from Harvard), the hidden
costs of leaking coal ash ponds, and the looming
costs of climate change, drought and extreme weather.
