Without rail, how will environmentalists warm the globe

Here we have Florida transportation officials discovering that we can simulate  rails using a microprocessor.  California environmentalists  have gathered to  protect the San Jose Light rail from the horrid microprocessor.
Horrible, they said. Pulling tons  of empty steel rail cars was the most efficient method to  warm the  globe.

Technocracy:  The Ultimate Urban Circulator would deploy autonomous vehicles onto the current Skyway route and expand into other neighborhoods and developments.The Jacksonville Transportation Authority is moving into the development phase of replacing the aging Skyway rail system with autonomous vehicles that could reach Brooklyn, Riverside and the sports complex anchored by EverBank Field.The JTA Board of Directors voted unanimously Thursday to move into the development phase of what the staff is calling the Ultimate Urban Circulator, which would deploy the driverless vehicles onto the current Skyway route and expand into other neighborhoods and developments.JTA has arranged with a driverless vehicle manufacturer for a demonstration March 8 at Intuition Ale Works. JTA executives have been in discussions with multiple vendors and this demonstration will be an opportunity for those in the community to ride and learn more about the vehicles.

The most obvious solution is to rip out the rails and use the road space for automated bus rapid transit and cars, as wheeled buses can drive on regular streets also. But, Jerry and the environmentalists and Musk are determined to globally warm.
