The biggest dent we can put in emissions is in heavy freight fleet vehicles. Electric tractor trailers, and container ships are also poised in industries where they could actually change-over, a lot more easily than consumer cars, and trucks. We don't have to put in the infrastructure of plug-in stations to replace gas stations. Fleet vehicles stop multiple times to transfer goods at warehouses, and even long-haul truckers can just jack up the trailer, then drop it in to a fresh fully charged tractor. You can't do that with your car, and the Companies like Amazon could see real savings in efficiency to pay for the change-over in a matter of years. Not to mention the fact that everything around you, right now, was shipped to you by a diesel engine. At least one, more likely several in stages, and the diesel for those trucks was shipped to them in a tanker truck. The motors that run the peckerhead pumps in the oil fields are run off diesel, delivered from the refinery, by diesel engines.

I'm not a Lawyer, I'm an Industrial Engineer, and I designed a single stage diesel still you can drive around on a 1 ton flatbed. An oil company (Can't say which one as per agreement) bought it, and the patent rights, to bury it. So, I'm glad that we have Lawyers like you on our side. Unfortunately, the politicians, and supervillains with real estate schemes right out of the Lex Luthor Playbook (Build a wall, he says. Right, who's subsidies were you planning one using, and embezeling from to build it there, Goldfinger?) have a lot of lawyers on their side, too. The problem is that it's not going to be profitable to clean up this mess, and the ones that made it also made a lot of money at it, to pay for their lawyers.
