Yeah I should have said safely have monster truck rallies in indoor arenas.
I meant like continue letting people have their hobby cars with ice, just have to regulate it somehow. This is like in a utopia where the majority of the world isn't using ice and we have renewable energy solutions.
Yeah a carbon tax. You'll have to be very wealthy to be able to afford to buy gasoline. But in the best case scenario, it'll be ok if you can afford it.
In the worst case scenario where people are dying by the millions because of lack of food stemming from the destruction of the agriculture industry that climate change could cause... well it will be seen to be the same as the English roaming over Irish graves in their fox hunts during the Irish famine.
So it kinda depends how things go. I don't have a crystal ball, so who knows how having a hobby car will be seen in the dark times ahead of us.
