Way to miss the forest for the trees.
the forest is personal vehicles make up the single largest source of emissions in the US, and SUV's are by far the most sold new vehicles currently making up the majority of that.
SUVs are passenger vehicles, the emissions of which have been trending flat or lower year over year since about 2004. It’s not individual passenger vehicles, including SUVs, that’s the source of increasing emissions. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-05/420f24022.pdf.
The forest that you’re missing is the fossil fuel industry driving decisions for what the hell we as consumers can even access, in nearly all sectors of the economy.
U mad bro?
Americans when you try to get them to stop fucking up people's lives.
The oil companies made me do it.
Yep and if we push harder for 4 day work weeks and work from home for everyone that can do so, emissions would plummet and we could still drive our SUVs...
