I am sure we can do better and revisit some misguided regulations. But in general environmental regulation is probably one of the biggest success stories of the last 60 years. I grew up when rivers were green or blue some days, the rivers were dead with an occasional dead fish floating by, going into the water was a serious health risk. The switch to EV is painful, but once people experience clean air in cities again, there is no way anybody will want to go back. I was in Mumbai a few years ago and after two days when I blew my days a pile of black stuff came down and I was short breathed. People complained about unleaded gas and catalytic filters when they introduced. Auto companies told us the world would go under. Seems ignoring them was correct and things worked out for the better
