    Wait until you hear about how much emissions a single cargo ship emits. Or a commercial Jet, or Cruise ship, or a coal plant.

      Oh no! Other problems exists that we should also tackle! You’ve won the argument!

        The problem is cars. Not how they are fueled.

            If old cars could be converted to electric easily, then you’d have a point. But every single electric car sold is ~1 additional car on the road, and extra cars are worse for the environment then fewer cars.

      Wow, there are multiple sources of pollution. Who woulda thunk it?

      a single cargo ship

      For the amount they carry, it’s fuck all. They’re so huge that economy of scale works overtime.
