Someone should do something
Some approaches which are technically and economically viable, such as increasing the usage of ethanol which can be sourced from regional feedstocks other than corn or sugarcane, are quite underestimated. Sure it may not be seen as the one-size-fits-all, but for some operators it may serve better than being dictated toward an EV.
