China Has More Electric Vehicles than the U.S. Has Drivers?
China now has over 200 million electric-vehicle drivers. The surge in electric-vehicles can be traced to the 2002 SARS virus epidemic when mass-transit users became afraid to board a bus.

I'm going to assume that when they talk about dairy in that article about environmental impact of animal farming they are talking about dairy cattle. I'd be interested to see what the numbers are like for goats, although I realize that goat meat, milk, and cheese are not that popular in North America. I feel that goats would be lower impact that cattle because they eat anything, can thrive in more inhospitable environments, and make more efficient use of their feed. On the other hand goats are smaller so overall environmental impact compared to yield of produce may be similar.
