B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Public transportAs QOTW is bordering on the serious this week I feel I have to mention public transport
Climate change and everything else needs us to reduce our energy use and stop using cars, so why are all the alternatives to the car so expensive!! We need investment into a better and reliable infrastructure that is cheaper so more people can use it. It seems stupid that we are told not to use our cars yet it is about half the cost of most other forms of transport to do the same journey.
Other coutries have good public transport as they have invested in it, something we have not done for a long time...

Why are the alternatives so bloody inefficient, too?
Is it really ecologically sustainable to have "clean, green" buses driving around leaving a thick trail of blue dieselly smoke and getting 4mpg (yes, that is what modern city buses get - watch the bloody great big fuel economy gauge in the middle of the dashboard, between the rev counter and tachograph, next time you're on a bus).
