Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

'Real' electric tractors
At the end of 2018, the American agricultural machinery manufacturer John Deere presented the prototype of its first electric and autonomous tractor, which did not require the intervention of a driver, so it dispensed with the cabin. For the electrical supply, it received it through a cable connected to the network, so it did not need batteries for its operation.
A year later, the FPT Industrial and STEYR CNH Industrial brands presented the STEYR Konzept, a new hybrid tractor concept developed jointly, whose diesel engine is not connected to the wheels but recharges a modular battery that powers four electric motors located in the wheels.
In January of this year Kubota will celebrate the 130th anniversary of its foundation by presenting the Kubota X-tractor: an electric, autonomous tractor with artificial intelligence that advances the future of the so-called 'intelligent agriculture'.
The point is that to build an electric tractor requires equipment that has not yet been manufactured/invented.
They can advance on smart farming but I imagine what battery you need to harvest 25km of field.
