The point I was trying to make is... for all your "concern" about losing ICE, can you at least concede we don't have to enjoy having this forced down our throats? Because it *is* being forced upon us. Semantics about ICE remaining an option while it's being priced and regulated out of existance is just BS. Trying to convince people "you need this for your own good" because "You know what is better for us" won't sell well. Never has, never will.
Sorry if this got derailed into another EV thread but it's all part of the regulatory over-reach taking place.

Yep, I agree with you. It's being forced upon people, and we don't have to like it.
I think the cause of the climate problem started with the industrial revolutions in EU and US and then simply carried forward from there. Scientists started talking about this potential outcome back in the 1980s, and we understand more about the problem than ever before. And yes, it's probably more impactful to target emissions from power generating plants in all countries than it is to target automobiles. But unless we are willing to go nuclear, there aren't a lot of non-CO2 generating options that can provide the required output. So the focus of reduction is more broad and includes automobiles.
