Forbid any bikes on pedestrian ways. Rollerskaters too.

Any attempt to give some space on new alternative transportation should be in this sequence:

- build passages first
- allow them later.

Not vice versa.

Want more bikers? Build the infrastructure first: dedicated lanes. Dedicated routs.

If in the process you will find out that one needs to build the whole new system comparable to existing road/pedestrian system, then that is the cost. Consider before moving forward.

Otherwise: stick to the bloody status quo and forbid any novel ways of transportation.

p>It could be done with superconducting intercontinental power lines and storage. You may say that's not a realistic solution, but it's still slightly more realistic than adding nuclear capacity to the grid on a timescale that would be relevant to addressing global warming.

Just for solar you would need to cover an area equivalent to the size of Spain and that just meets the current needs if you want storage you need to increase that to fill the storage. Then what's the environment impact for all those batteries? The super conducting thing that doesn't exist won't be available before Fusion comes on line commercially. I'll put a long bet on that.
