Blanket the world with electric charging infrastructure
It is an inalienable right of every human to live in a toxic free environment. Sadly, we now live in a very toxic environment, pollution causes 40% of deaths worldwide and quite possibly a lot more as there are long term consequences that we don't know yet. Fossil fuels, petrol and coal cause significant environmental damage as well as climate change.
Pollution does not discriminate. Whether you are rich or poor, religious or non-religious, in the top 1% or bottom 1%, a baby or a teen or an adult, working or retired, male or female, republican, democrat or libertarian, communist, socialist or capitalist; pollution doesn't care. Your country of origin, political leanings, sexual orientation, religious beliefs do not spare you from pollution.
This gives us common cause against pollution. All of us against pollution! We humans do not need governments, religions, corporations or any form of organized "we do good" to help us. Humans are fully capable of organizing themselves efficiently to solve their own problems. Humans mostly don't care about money and want to do the things they love. Open source software which powers most of the world, Wikipedia are the first few evidences of this emergent property of mankind. We are going to live in a society free of pollution.
The Oil industry is the largest and most powerful lobbying group in the history of mankind. Oil controls governments, military and media. The Oil industry has received hundreds of trillions of dollars from all governments in subsidies since 1913. Even now, Oil industry gets subsidies worldwide from 400 - 600 billion dollars per year from all governments. The Oil industry is rolling in money, three largest US companies made $80 billion profits last year, five Oil companies just in US made a trillion dollars profit from 2001 - 2011. Hardly candidates for subsidies. Most of the wars are waged to protect Oil interests, Navies worldwide spend hundreds of billions of dollars protecting assets of Oil. Saudi funded Rupert Murdoch controls most of the media worldwide from Fox News to the Wall Street Journal.
As powerful as Oil industry is, it can't take on all of humanity. We shall prevail. Oil has caused a lot of damage to us and to the planet and we can stop this now.
As a first and easy step towards this, we should switch to electric cars. The switch to electric can be made rapidly: we have an electric grid infrastructure wherever we have humans. We build charging stations all over and challenge the manufacturers to rapidly switch to electric cars. Either the manufacturers switch or perish. The charging infrastructure in US can be built by the end of this decade. The other countries will follow in the next decade or two. We start with US, because US has extremely well developed ecosystems in several dimensions which help scale and adapt rapidly.
Mission: Blanket all of US with electric charging infrastructure.
Lets do it!
Note: There are remote villages in developing countries which do not have electricity, they are too far away in the development trajectory to consider buying a car. Eventually, most of humans are going to live in major cities or townships.
