You're probably right, but a closer analysis that includes externalities will likely be dismissed as being too inconvenient to the narrative. Just look at ethanol. Several studies now show that it's actually much worse for the environment than fossil fuel. But very few people care (plants are natural!!!1) or know about it. Even the government ignores its own studies and keep pushing for more subsidies and higher ethanol content.
