I want to remain optimistic on this technology. If the numbers below

A bad thing, because it gives a (false?) hope that the US of A can

lesson I have seen seems to be that, with the globalization of any 
technology aimed at extending the American Dream lifestyle, no matter 
how benign when used locally, there are usually drawbacks and 
unintended consequences.

inseparable from transportation.
