What happens to gas stations when the world goes fully electric?
In short: As the global transition to clean energy begins, we must consider the fate of the massive infrastructure and livelihoods currently built around fossil fuels. This video explores the complex social and logistical challenges of a post-gasoline world.
Civil engineer and environmental sociologist Emily Grubert examines the long-term implications of a decarbonized transport sector. The discussion focuses on the critical, decades-long transition required to move away from fossil fuels, highlighting the need to plan for the cars, tools, and livelihoods that currently depend on gasoline.
Understanding this shift requires looking beyond just the technology of electric vehicles to the broader societal considerations that must be addressed as the transition unfolds.
