One thing not mentioned , with respect to OTR trucking is, currently automobiles consume over 90% of gasoline production.
A barrel of oil is approximately 50% gasoline, 30% diesel, 10% jet fuel and 10% misc
Trucking and rail costs are already abhorrently high and predicted to get worse. 60% increase since 2020 and expected to get far worse in the near future (years).
Once the ability to economically use "all" of a barrel of crude gets more difficult and the largest byproduct demand decreases significantly, the cost of the fuel that WILL still arguably power OTR trucks and locomotives will absolutely skyrocket.
Perhaps to the level of OTR EV trucks and trains. Albeit for different reasons, both of which are somewhere between no good and certain death for the consumer (ALL of us) and the industries supporting us.
Of course, the real answer is somewhere in the middle, but the cost of this agenda WILL be borne by all of US ultimately.
Sure in (however many) years, technology may, will (or won't...there's practical limits achieved with everything, not unlike the other options mentioned above) overcome the huge cost increase looming from the 2 current options.
At the rate this is going, may not need to save the planet...lol
Old saying, "everything in moderation" applies here. Bite off more than you can chew (greenies) and you might just end up burning the place down...
