Biofuels are taking valuable croplands that could be user for food production. And BEVs could run on e.g. nucleair fission until we figured stuff out more. Try that with combustion engines.
Well consider if we set aside half of the crop land we use for animal feed and used it to grow soybean biodiesel it would still be half as much land that we use to feed livestock. Yes I’m pulling these numbers out of my ass but I’m pretty sure they’ll be close to accurate.
Also all the land we grow corn on that is refined into ethanol (a terrible fuel with a shelf life of barely a year) could be repurposed for much more efficient crops.
Yes fission is great but I doubt we will stop extracting natural gas for energy production any time soon.
