I never said it was easy.
If you want to cut global emissions - cut it where it's being emitted. Increasing fuel economy is one part of a solution - but it's not the entire solution.
And yes, the people that run them have no interest in doing it by themselves, at least generally.... These are the same people that have no problem poisoning customers. A gross example would be the Love Canal incident.... Closer to home,
Here's the long term national priority Superfund sites in New England alone. All because someone didn't clean up their mess.. Now we're so lucky, after being exposed in the first place, to foot the bill to clean it up.
Increase MPG
Reduce End User Emissions
Reduce Production Emissions
Efficient Infrastructure
R&D for all of the Above and Diverse Alternatives
Fixing one while ignoring else what is not a solution, it's a stop gap and a very long one either.

This is false. When the batteries are fully depleted, it's 120mpg
But that's on a variant that is not being sold....
