Iranians have a very high energy usage per capita - at least as high as any EU country and probably higher. The country is a major oil and gas producer, and the population is accustomed to cheap petrol prices due to heavy subsidisation by the government. You won't find many Iranians opting to use public transport for the good of the environment. Like Americans, they would rather sit in their own air-conditioned vehicles in interminable traffic jams. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago You won't find many Iranians opting to use public transport for the good of the environment. Lack of choice and potential lobbying from the car industry might also be factors here. I can't imagine anyone who would drive if there was cheap and plentiful public transport available. Like Americans, they would rather sit in their own air-conditioned vehicles in interminable traffic jams. I'd say the same for the Americans. A century of pro-car policy removes the illusion of choice. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dunning_cougar@waveform.social -1 points 3 years ago Um, excuse you, the climate catastrophe is a GLOBAL phenomenon! We are collectively guilty for killing our mother. Are you a Zionist agent, gaslighting us with anti-Iran propaganda?
