These go right against our goals to increase use of solar and EVs. ☹️

Really important for world emissions for the US specifically to transition to EVs too, considering it has the highest per capita road emissions in the world.

Interestingly, China and India, who were told are massive polluters, aren’t even on that list.

That graphic is limited to a comparison of emissions from use of roads only.

Of course, not roads only, the USA is still terrible and China and India are still not on the list.
