    But suppose we eliminated 99% of all trucks on the road. Emissions from trucks would then be insignificant in the big picture.

    Well that’s what diesel trains do for us. If we could reduce global emissions by 99% across the board we’d be done. Tearing the earth apart for an EV revolution just to eliminate that last 1% would not be worth it.
