That strawman is the bad faith argument. They never said they want to keep burning fossil fuels.

No, they just heavily implied it lol

The whole point of the microplastics/lithium/whatever else argument is to muddy the water and make people confused about just how much better EVs are than ICE vehicles. It's the only reason it's even a thing that people talk about. It's exclusively bad faith, because it was designed that way by fossil fuel interests.
