The thing is though, even if electric cars were on a par with ICE at least all that pollution is happening in one place rather than spread out across millions of cars. It would be much easier to deal with that one source of pollution rather than implemented millions of smaller solutions.
Switch to nuclear. I know it's an unpopular energy source but it's the only one that will allow us to meet the demands of the modern world without using up more land. I have zero faith in renewable. They will never produce the amount of power we need and require us taking even more land away from the natural environment. Wind and solar farms are a death sentence to local bird populations.
The renewables just seem like a band aid to me, something companies and politicians can point to and say they're doing something, when they know full well it's not going to work, but by the time everyone finds out they'll be retired on their fat pensions.
