Yeah, we still use ICE cars, which unfortunate, but outside of greenhouse gases they're immensely less polluting than they used to be[0]. 1968->2010 reduced NO 99%, CO 95%, and particulate matter 99.92%. (I'm guessing this is looking at engines for PM. Tires/brakes still produce a lot, as I understand it.) The EPA says tailpipe emissions are 98%-99% cleaner, with a 71% overall drop across "six common pollutants" despite miles traveled climbing 114%[1] (They use a few different starting and end points throughout that article.) It's easy to miss how much cleaner modern cars are. [0] https://andyarthur.org/how-much-cleaner-our-cars-are-today.html https://andyarthur.org/how-much-cleaner-our-cars-are-today.h...
