E ai ki te pūrongo a te USA Today i te tau 2018, tata ki te 8,000 ngā Pahikara hiko i kawemai e Uber ki te US mai i Haina i roto i ngā wiki e rua.

Te āhua nei kei te whakarite te kamupene nui o ngā waka tereina nui mō te whakawhānui ake i tana rarangi waka, me te "whakatere whakamua" i tana mahi whakaputa.

He mea nui te eke pahikara ki te nekenekehanga o te tangata huri noa i te ao, engari tera pea ka nui ake te pānga ki te taiao o te ao. I runga i te watea, ngā painga hauora, me te utu tika o ngā pahikara, he nui ake te wāhi e whakamahia ana e ngā pahikara hei kawe i ngā tāngata o te tāone, ā, ka āwhina i te whakaiti i te whakamahinga pūngao me te hauhā.₂ngā tukunga puta noa i te ao.

E ai ki tētahi pūrongo hou, mā te nekehanga ā-ao ki te whakanui ake i te eke pahikara me te eke pahikara hiko i kitea i ngā tau tata nei ka taea te whakaiti i te whakamahinga pūngao me ngā tukunga hauhā waro mai i ngā waka o te tāone tae atu ki te 10 ōrau i te tau 2050, ki te whakaritea ki ngā whakatau tata o nāianei.

E kitea ana hoki i roto i te pūrongo ka taea e te panonitanga te whakaora i te hapori neke atu i te $24 trillion. Mā te ranunga tika o ngā haumitanga me ngā kaupapa here a te iwi whānui ka taea e ngā pahikara me ngā pahikara hiko te kapi i te 14 ōrau o ngā maero i haerea i roto i te tāone tae noa ki te tau 2050.

"Ehara i te mea ka hua ake he hau ma, he tiriti haumaru hoki mā te hanga tāone nui – engari ka penapena moni nui ki te tangata me ngā kāwanatanga, ka taea te whakapau ki ētahi atu mea. He kaupapa here tāone atamai tēnā."

Kei te piki haere te titiro a te ao ki te umanga pahikara, ahakoa i roto i ngā reihi whakataetae, i ngā mahi whakangahau, i ngā mahi haere rānei o ia rā. Ehara i te mea uaua ki te kite i te tipu haere tonu o te rongonui o te pahikara i te mea ka kaha ake te hiahia o te tangata ki te pahikara nā te pikinga ake o te mōhiotanga tiaki taiao.
