June 21: ‘If others want to mask in my presence, I won’t ask them to stop – much as I expect they’ll avoid asking me to don one.’ Masking up creates tension, plus other letters to the editor
: On climate change, Canadians spend much of their time debating energy supply: fossil fuels and pipelines on the one hand, renewables and turbines on the other. It was refreshing, then, to read The Globe and Mail’s editorial on transportation energy demand.
The International Energy Association refers to energy efficiency as the “first fuel.” The cleanest, cheapest, most reliable source of energy is what communities can avoid using, while still providing full energy services for residents and businesses.While I have a definite requirement for a full-sized pickup truck, I agree that many people driving pickups never even remotely utilize the cargo capability.
I am a tall person. Manufacturers seem to willfully design cars far smaller than what most North American “full-sized” adult individuals can easily accommodate. This feels especially true for these people in winter with large coats. I believe that manufacturers could easily take a small SUV and rip out the back seat, move the front seat 10 inches, raise the roof three inches and change it from a four-door model to a two-door “elongated” one. There would be huge demand for such a car.
Since North Americans cannot change their physical size, the solution should lie with vehicle manufacturers, not the buyers.
