We need to dictate the what cars people drive in order to achieve green energy. Even if we had the political will to go 100% solar, the resources needed to make cars and panels and electricity generation are still going to be scarce. Why should those resources be thrown away on pointlessly large card when we could be using them for so much more?

It’s incredibly frustrating to see society dump our limited metal reserves into useless things. Every EV on the road that could be replaced by public transit and every big EV that could be replaced by a small one is N kWh of grid storage batteries that don’t get built.
