“But tires”
Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.
Profit for few vs humanity’s existance… which should we choose?
The earth is very much a small enclosured space when compared to the habitability of the universe.
Yes, but comparatively to the amount of cars it is very large. The problem with ICE vehicles is not one of carbon monoxide poisoning as it is in the garage, so the comparison is pointless, the earth is large enough that you would run out of fuel before you reach that level of emissions.
Science will find a way. Hopefully we can create an engine with exponential emissions per calorie. You just need to dream bigger. Have you been to a large city with less stringent emissions regulations?
