Basic stuff about me

• I have a blog on the subject. It's all in french, but I'd like to translate it eventually.
• I like computers, but I don't like the modern web.
• I think you can use they/them pronouns for me, but he/him or she/her would be fine too.

Questions

These are some questions I ask myself. If you have answers, even partial ones, feel free to send them to me !

• How do electric cars compare to thermic ones, taking into account all their lifespan, including the construction, use and recycling. Of course, this is a complex question, requiring several parameters : which car model ? how is electricity produced ? where do the resources come from ? In terms of pure energy, thermic cars are much more efficient than electric cars, but the electricity may be produced from renewable energy, which would make them better at first glance. But how much better ? And what about the cost of production and disposal ?
• From how many people is it better to use the train instead of cars ? Running an empty train must be worse than an empty car. A full train is better than the equivalent amount of cars. But I don’t know where the equilibrium lies. Is it 50% occupancy ? 10% ? 1% ? It depends on the car, on the train and on the electric energy mix, but I think we could make a rough model to get an idea. Even just computing some cinetic energy costs (mass of train + passengers vs mass of drivers with their cars) would give a basic indicator.
