The answer is not for everyone to replace their Gas Guzzlers with Spark Guzzlers. The answer is better Public Infrastructure so humanity can be less dependant on any for if inefficient private transport.

The most efficient Hybrid is still a Diesel Locomotive and the most efficient EV is still an Electric suburban train.

Didn't say every one gets electric cars. The worst damage will come from mining and industry. We seem to be having different convos.

The dependency issue which we are knee-jerking at, is one created through years of inaction, which clearly won't change.

Ignoring things until they become a problem is not good leadership
