So even if we lump in commercial transportation with personal vehicles, it’s still only 14% of ghg emissions or roughly half that of electricity generation.
thats disingenuous to break down transportation, but not the other sectors. Like energy’s largest contributor is coal, also at around half the sector’s total emissions. But yeah, it’s definitely significant, and renewable energy gains synergistically increase emissions reductions from transportation sector switching to EV’s.
For the entire US, personal vehicles are the largest source of emissions.
A lot of the fuckcars types think banning cars will fix the climate, just like vegans think banning meat will fix the climate. I was trying to head off any comments in that direction.
All cities have a lot of manufacturing. Its a city

Not true.

Transportation, including commercial, is 28%. Electricity 25% and industry 23%.
Cars, trucks, etc account for only half of that 28%.

Support renewable energy.

I was just refuting / giving context to this:

We need to do all of the things.
