We are the pigs of the planet when it comes to fossil fuel consumers and CO2 emitters. It's the progress we have made in reducing air pollution in spite of that consumption which allows us to go outside without wearing a mask. Is that progress about to be thrown in the dumpster?
That's a good question. The corollary to that is: Where do you draw the line? If you can increase fuel economy by 1 mpg but it cost you $10,000.00 is that a fair trade off? We have to have balance, and in my opinion, the pendulum has swung too far.
We don't know. The progress we have made so far was thought by many to be unobtainable and unaffordable and yet, here we are. My guess is, it will be neither and others will do it, even if we won't.
