The number of individuals who own buses for their pesonal travel is far too few to have significant objective impact on carbon emissions.
Fact. More people own buses than planes. Some have been turned into a unique thing called an RV.

Instead greenhouse gases are emitted by the generation and transmission infrastructure of the electricity. Stupid.
The first correct answer is that a bus with 1 passenger is much lighter than one with 40 and uses less fuel.
1. Only true if someone recharges their electric car at home and they do not have solar panels.
2. A bus that gets 10 miles per gallon fully loads WILL NOT get 400 miles per gallon with only one person on board. Did you learn your math at Sally Vix University?

The problem posed is pointless.
It doesn't matter which person has a lower carbon footprint because the difference to the climate is basically zero.
It does matter if the whole transportation system is carbon neutral.
The pointless one is you, Fat.
I have done energy use analysis for major utilities. The analysis provides carbon emissions calculations based on the carbon emissions from the grid power plants. So, if you charge you electric car at home, and do not have solar panels, your carbon emissions is equal to what you draw from the grid. If you have solar panels on your home and they are sufficient to met the demands of recharging your vehicle, then you can claim the car is not carbon emitting, but that is not really truthful unless other electrical loads are also offset. What that means is, if you still draw 20% of your energy from the grid you can only truthfully claim that 80% of the recharging of an electric car is carbon neutral. It is improper to claim the electric car is 100% offset and the rest of the home is only partly offset. That is doing carbon emissions the Faux way, ... total BS.
I never said anything about the carbon impact of charging from today's grid. That's a different topic.
I'm saying that comparing the carbon footprint of two people is pointless. Trump's personal carbon footprint is irrelevant.
We need system change to solve the climate crisis.
If you want to talk about how to make our transportation system carbon neutral then that's a longer discussion, but it certainly can be done. We can power the entire nation on solar, wind, and batteries if that's what we choose to do (and mostly, we should). We can convert all vehicles to electric (and we should). Planes can be mostly eliminated, that is what will happen in the next 10 to 15 years.
That gets you almost to carbon neutral, but not quite. There are some externalities that have to be addressed, but you get the idea.
McCarthy is probably rushing back for his GOP morning shower with Gym Jordan and Gaetz.

What are you idiots so mad about? Every time I point out your obsession with Trump, you act like it's somehow my fault.
It's just like the rallies - more of you peeps went to Trump's rallies than your own candidate's. You don't even want to talk about Biden. The entire narrative of your political lives is still centered on one man. You lack any identity of your own.
The last two or three days of your obsession with this thread has been focused on me.
Though not as obsessed as the 'lock her up' of the last 4 yrs, or the crazy locking up of supposed paedophiles under martial law for lifelong Trump presidency.
The reason for the obsession over you is to see how many times you can repeat your 2,600 dumbness...you are tracking well.

Fact. If you have taken one plane trip, you emitted more carbon than a typical RV likely does in an entire year.
How morally superior do you think you are? You're never gonna be an emissions hero.

Gas-powered RV's will soon be eliminated.
Most plane trips can be eliminated as well. In about 10 years it will be far cheaper, more convenient, and almost as fast to take a high-speed electric robotaxi instead of a plane. Airplanes will be mostly just for going overseas.

How high are you right now?
You're going to get me from ATL to LA in 4.5 hours in the next ten years?
If you doubled the current flight time, you'd still have to average 250mph over the road.
Hated and disowned by your own family and friends.

I can go online right now and order a Tesla that goes 200MPH. And it only costs 120K. Prices will continue to go down and specs will continue to go up.
So in ten years it's not hard to see that there will be a fleet of robotaxis that can do well over 200MPH. At 250MPH, the trip from ATL to LA takes under 9 hours. So it will pick you up at your Atlanta home in the morning and drop you at Dodger stadium in time for the game.
Or, you could do it as an overnight trip and sleep in a full size bed on the way there.
Plus, it will do it for half the cost of a plane ticket and you don't have to go to the airport. You don't have to deal with the crowds. You get privacy, peace, and quiet.
Much better than flying and much better for the environment.

And how about the infrastructure change for roads that robotaxis can safely do 300+mph on. Are we going to have these ready to go by 2031?

You don't quite understand that it's not the ability for a vehicle to go 300+mph to get me from downtown ATL to downtown LA. We already have vehicles that can go fast (although not very efficently). It's everything else that needs to be done in 10 years to be able to safely travel in the high speed robotaxi.
You Americans are so funny.

Yes. Tire technology will need to progress as well.

Infrastructure changes would not be needed. Human drivers will not be allowed on the freeway. If you are on the highway you must have autopilot engaged. A robotaxi can easily manage at that speed and do it much more safely than humans currently drive at 70mph.
The technology will be in the cars rather than in the roads. Roads won't need to change much.

That problem is pretty much solved already. Tesla and GM both have cars that drive themselves on the highway. Ramping up to a higher speed is easy. The hardest part is getting rid of the slow and dangerous human drivers.
