What bothers me the most are the attempts to set an EV-only policy as if it could work as a one-size-fits-all approach.

Considering organic waste will always be around, it makes much more sense to manage it in a way that would lead to some economical benefits. I'm sure using it as a fuel source makes more sense than simply letting the organic matter rot away releasing raw methane and other compounds into the atmosphere, soil and groundwater. And while some sort of "biogasoline" may seem suitable to address the requirements of most folks who take ethanol with a grain of salt, I am still favorable to ethanol, biomethane and biodiesel.
