Carbon fuel provides over 60% of our energy US production
Even the EV's are 60% carbon fueled, and only 17% of their supply is renewable, and that includes all the hydro.

Keep burning your carbon fuel while lying to yourself that "it's all green".

My energy doesn't come from the national average, in my state around 70% of our power comes from renewables (including large hydro). And the state-wide goal is for all utilities to be carbon neutral by 2030 and free of fossil fuels by 2045.

If you think your state's not generating enough power from renewables, talk to your legislators. But EV's are so much more energy efficient that studies show that an EV is cleaner than an gasoline powered car even when the electricity is generated from coal.

And ALL of it is made possible by the carbon fueled machines that mine the ore, the heavy metals used in the batteries, and drill for the petroleum used for everything from the plastics in your keyboard to the refined metals in the wires carrying your wannabe "Clean energy".

If we have to wait for everything to be converted to electric before starting to migrate to EVs, then no one could ever drive an EV. But even heavy mining equipment is being electrified (much of it is stationary or follows fixed routes)

The time to move to an alternative fuel source is while petroleum is relatively cheap. No one (well few) are saying that every use of petroleum needs to end, moving to EV's makes petroleum more available and cheaper for manufacturing products that need it.
