Every time someone has a good idea to perhaps reduce humanity's negative impact on the biosphere, the clowns who run our economies and our governments will take that good idea and twist it into the worst possible implementation.
Case in point: If we could get large numbers of people to switch from driving gas/petrol cars to small EVs — or even better to electric scooters or bikes — that could make a real difference in reducing overall emissions.
So what do our "leaders" do instead? They focus on building and selling huge, bulky, monstrously heavy, status-symbol EVs that not only are more damaging to the environment than a lighter gas/petrol car, but also far more dangerous to children, pedestrians, bike riders, and other cars because of their titanic weight and their reduced sight lines.
