...who determined which car a family would have, thus leading to the virtual demise of the electric car by the 1930s, despite the fact that, for short trips, the latter was cleaner, quieter and easier to run: ‘it is not some sort of simple “best” technology that always wins. It is a matter of the cultural ideals, economic relations, and social power relations that define what counts as best, for whom, and for
whose preferred activities and values’

We could have had "clean" electric cars pre-WW2 and have avoided a lot of fossil fuel induced global warming...but we didn't because **men** preferred gas/petrol cars for their activities and overruled their wives???? Holy hell.
