You're right of course. 90% of environmentalism is virtue signaling. Anyone with a strong grasp of high school science snd math can figure that out.
Easiest way to slash CO2 emissions literally overnight? Enforce speed limits, fuel consumption per trip scales (in the countryside) as v^2.
EVs? A nasty joke anyone able to grasp opportunity cost can understand.
If we really wanted to slash CO2 consumption we'd:
- lower speed limits
- Encourage delivery and contractor vehicles to go hybrid
- Since we've slashed vehicle speeds, lower safety standards
- Encourage motorcycle licensing (and promote motorcycle EVs. The only EVs that make sense)
- Force manufacturers to provide information, tooling and parts to keep vehicles on the road longer
- Encourage CNG LPG conversions
Etc.
